2.2.4 Machine operation:
With the machine duly adjusted, electrically connected, with the material to
be cut properly positioned and locked on the Cutting Table (03) and with the Arc
(10) in its raised position, open the yellow cover containing the Switch Assembly (13
A, B, C) (figures 01, 09), and actuate the green Button ON (13A). Manually position
the Saw Blade (06) over the material to be cut, by means of the Lifting Cable (24).
This operation will start the Saw Blade (06) cutting motion on the material. At the
end of the cutting operation, the Drive Pin (37) will touch the Limit Microswitch (36)
(figure 07), automatically switching off the Electric Motor (12).
For being a portable equipment for professional and/or hobby use, the
STARRETT–St-1101 Horizontal Band Saw Machine does not embody a cooling
system. Therefore, in order to guarantee its safe and quality operation, the operator
must observe the cutting conditions. As an OPTIONAL item, the STARRETT St-
1101 can be provided with a Portable Tubular Table called BPM (see Section 2.4).
NOTE:
The Saw Blade cutting segment (06) (between Guides (26)(28)),
obviously has no protection, being the responsibility of the
machine operator to act carefully and taking the necessary
precautions.
All necessary details of the systems comprising this machine will be
described in their relevant Sections.
