Basic Functions
MASTER SWITCH
TOTAL STOP
HYDRAULIC UNIT START - STOP
MODE
Make sure before starting the saw blade drive that the saw blade does not touch the
workpiece at the cutting point.
Serves for emergency shutdown of the saw blade motor, the coolant pump and the unit (i.e. the
whole machine).
The machine can be restarted only when the button has been unlocked manually by pulling!
The switch serves for switching over between the modes:
AUTOMAT - automatic closed cutting cycle - when the START button has been pressed, the entire cutting cycle is performed
- workpiece clamping, switching on the saw blade, performing the cut, stopping the saw blade, raising the band saw head in the ori-
ginal (adjustable) upper position and opening the vice.
MANUAL - allows for independent control of individual functions.
When the MASTER SWITCH is on, the HYDRAULIC UNIT - START button activates the electrical system of the machine and
starts the hydraulic unit.
BAND SAW HEAD END ASCENDING SWITCH
SAW BLADE START - STOP ( only manual mode )
The BAND SAW HEAD END ASCENDING SWITCH serves for adjusting the band saw head ascending height (see chapter 5.4.), or
it enables the band saw head staying in the lower end position. If the band saw head is in the lower position and the band saw head
ascending switch is set to 1, the band saw head is raised to the upper position. If the switch is left in the position 1 between the cuts,
the band saw head is raised to the upper position automatically after every cut. If the switch is left in the position 0, the band saw head
stays in the lower end position after the cut has been completed.
Green button START - serves for starting the saw blade motor and the coolant pump. When the band saw blade drive is started, the
band saw blade must be lifted above the switching track of the finishing cut limit switch, otherwise the band saw blade drive will not
switch on; the vice must be clamped.
Red button STOP - serves for the saw blade motor and the coolant pump shut down.
The red signal light is on - saw blade drive failure (see chapter 9).
SIGNAL LIGHT
The switch serves for opening or closing the gripping jaws of the vice.
