NOTE:
Over tracking (allowing blade back to rub hard against
wheel flange) will damage the blade wheels and blade.
• Tighten locking bolt (6B) then tighten the nut (8B), after
proper tracking is completed.
• Connect machine to the power source.
Adjusting the tungsten carbide guides
Before making any cuts in your the workpiece, the tungsten
carbide guides must be adjusted by setting the adjusting screws
so the bladed is properly guided without any binding. The
tungsten carbide guides should touch, but not pinch the blade.
• To move the blade guide posts or change the blade, the
tungsten carbide guides should be released by loosening
the adjusting screw.
OPERATION - PREPARATIONS
The automatic vise clamps on this
machine exert great pressure on the
clamped workpieces when they are activated. Use extreme
caution when placing, positioning and clamping stock with
the vise clamps.
Vise operation
• The vises can be opened to one full stroke when saw
bow is raised to the highest limit. If the saw bow at a
position below the highest limit, then the vises will only
open
approximately 3/16”. They will not continue open
when vise open buttons (J and K pg. 6) are pressed.
• The shuttle vise will not move material when the bench
vise is clamped.
• The shuttle vise will not move material if the approach
sensor is active.
- If the vises are to be closed, then start with the bench
vise.
- If the vises are to be open, then start the shuttle vise.
Securing the workpiece
• Raise the saw frame.
• Open the vise wide enough to insert the material.
• Place workpiece onto the roller table.
• Gently push the workpiece through the vertical rollers
and into the shuttle vise, taking care not to hit the vertical
rollers.
• The machine will automatically clamp the material in auto
mode and the vise can close a full stroke to do so.
• In manual mode, use the vise close buttons
(H and J pg. 6).
Adjusting the guide posts
The guide posts adjust horizontally to control the spacing of the
blade guides. Having the blade exposed to the minimal amount
helps provide better safety protection and more accurate cutting
by reducing blade flexing.
9B
• Refer to the scale to adjust the distance.
• For most spacing changes, unlock the left guide (9B)
post by turning locking wing bolt.
• Grip the posts and move horizontally.
• Lock into position by retightening the locking wing nut.

• Select suitable cutting pressure for the workpiece to be cut.
• This varies according to the size and shape of the workpiece,
type of material, and what type of saw blade is being used.
• As a guide for materials: cutting hard, wide, tubing, or
structural materials must to be done at a slower rate then
mild steel bar.
• For the saw blade selection: high-speed steel is better than
carbon steel and bi-metal alloy is better than high-speed
steel.
