4.4 AUTOMATIC OPERATION :
Having finished all the procedures described above in (2) Operating Preparation ,and with the
workpiece to be cut placed in the vise of the machine , but NOT under the saw blade.
(1) Turn the AUTO-MANUAL selector to manual.
In control panel – The front vise clamp the
workpiece when turn switch NO.(8) right and press button NO.(
6
) 1.5sec in the same
time. Then the front vise hold the workpiece after the lamp NO.(
6A
) light.
(2) Turn the AUTO-MANUAL selector to auto.
(3) Depress the QUICK APPROACH switch to make the saw frame descend quickly to touch the lower
limit position , it will then rise automatically to the freight preset.
(4) Preset the number of cuts required.
(5)
Confirm to clamp the workpiece in procedure (1) and (2).
(6) Depress the BLADE DRIVE button to start both the saw blade motor and the cutting fluid pump.
The saw frame begins to descend to cut workpiece.
(7) After the required number of cut has been completed, the saw frame will lift to the raised position
and all machine operation will stop.
(8) The machine will automatically stop, when the workpiece is so short that it can no longer be
automatically feed.
4.5 SPECIAL OPERATION :
(1) While you are cutting a workpiece, if the saw blade suddenly jams in the workpiece, depress the
FRAME RAISE button to lift the saw frame immediately.
(2) The saw blade jamming in the workpiece is most likely because of :
a.
Slippage occurring between saw blade and drive wheel. Tension placed on the saw blade is not
sufficient.
b.
Slippage occurring between drive belt and motor pulley. Tension on drive belt is not sufficient or
belt is worn.
c.
Broken teeth on saw blade.
d.
Too blunt saw blade.
e.
Too fine tooth spacing on saw blade for material being cut.
f.
Too fast feed rate for material being cut and blade used.
4.6 BREAK-IN OPERATION:
When a new blade is used , be sure to first break in the blade before using it for extended operation.
Failure to break in the blade will shorten the service lift of the blade ,and result in
less than
optimum
efficiency. To break in the blade ,proceed as follow :
(1) Reduce the blade speed setting to one half of its normal setting .
(2) Lengthen the time required for cutting to 2-3 times that of normal.
(3) The break-in operation can be considered sufficient if all unusual noises or metallic sounds have
been eliminated. (For instance, to completely break in the blade, a minimum of five complete cuts
of a 200mm (8 ins) diameter work- piece will be required.)
(4) After the break-in operation has been completed, return the blade speed and feed rate to their
normal setting.
