Horizontal Clamps Flow Controls
The horizontal clamp speed is adjustable with pneumatic flow controls. This adjustment may be
necessary if material thickness or width changes. The flow controls for the horizontal clamps are located
on the back of the saw. There are two flow controls per clamp with one being for extend and one for
retract. To adjust loosen the jam nut. Then turning the dial clockwise restricts the air flow which slows
motion and counter-clockwise will open air flow which hastens motion. Tighten the jam nut when
adjustment is completed.
To test horizontal clamps, go to SAW STOP MODE from the MAIN SCREEN and move the pusher out
to high limit to get it out of the way. Now place a test piece of board under the top clamp and against the
fence. Enter a value equal to the current position, select MOVE +SAW
, then press GO. The pusher won’t
move because it’s already in position but the operation selected will be performed. Check the horizontal
clamp speed during cycle and ensure that the horizontal clamps are clamping before the saw enters the
material. Adjust flow controls to change advance and retract speed as needed.
Vertical Clamp Pressure Regulator
The pressure of the vertical clamp is adjustable to allow clamping of material of varying rigidity. To adjust
the vertical clamp pressure, locate the vertical clamp pressure regulator located under the right side of
the saw table. Pull out on the adjustment knob to unlock it. Turn clockwise to increase the pressure and
counter-clockwise to decrease pressure to the vertical clamp pressure. Start at a low pressure and
increase pressure until the material is firmly held and cut quality is acceptable.
To test vertical clamp, go to SAW STOP MODE from the MAIN SCREEN and move the pusher out to

clamp vertical clamp during machine cycle and ensure that the vertical clamp is clamping pressure is
adequate for the material. Adjust the regulator to change clamp pressure as needed.
