closer to the wheel flange. Turn the adjusting
screw clockwise to steer the blade away from
the wheel flange.
7. When the blade guide is set, tighten the screws
(A).
Adjustment of bearings in the saw blade
guide
Warning!
This machine is designed and intended for use
with blades that are 19 mm wide, 0.9 mm thick
and 2360 mm long. Use of blades with other
specifications may lead to degraded
performance.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Move the saw arm to the desired position for
adjustment and lock in place by closing the
hydraulic cylinder valve.
3. Loosen the Allen screw (C, fig. 14) and adjust
the ball bearings so that the bearing behind the
saw blade is approximately 0.08 mm – 0.12
mm from the back of the blade. Loosen the nut
(A) to adjust the centre position with the
adjusting screw (B) so that the ball bearings
rest against the saw blade.
4. Check that the blade can move freely and
tighten the hex screw and nuts.
5. Repeat for another blade guide.
6. Connect the machine to the power source.
Lower weight adjustment
The lowering weight is one of the most important
adjustments of the saw. If the lowering weight is
not set correctly, you can expect degraded
performance, crooked cuts, worn saw teeth, loose
stops and saw blades. The hydraulic feed unit will
not compensate for incorrect lowering weight. The
lowering weight is set at the factory and does not
need to be adjusted. If adjustment is still
necessary:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Turn the hydraulic cylinder valve and place the
saw arm in horizontal position.
3. Turn the feed valve on the hydraulic cylinder
counterclockwise until it stops.
4. Place a hanging weight under the tension
handle and lift the saw arm. The scale should
indicate about 5-6 kg.
5. Adjust the tension to approx. 5-6 kg by turning
the bolt (A, Fig.16).
6. Connect the machine to the power source.
