OPERATION MANUAL
TENSIONING THE SAW BLADE
The tension of the saw blade can be adjusted by means of
the hand wheel. (Fig.4.6) Using the graduated scale on the
gauge adjust the tension until it reads in the green section.
It can also be checked by pressing the blade in the middle
between the supports. The blade should only be able to be
pushed down 3 mm with a force of approximately 50 N.
NOTE:
The tension for Carbide blades is 1400 kgs/cm
2
.
For
Bi-Metal blades attention should be 1400 kgs/cm2 to 1500
kgs/cm
2
.
LENGTH STOP
The machine is fitted with an adjustable length stop.
(Fig.4.7)
To install the length stop
1. Screw the threaded rod into the base of the machine
and tighten the lock nut.
2. Slide the length stop onto the rod
3. Measure the distance from the blade to the face of
the length stop and move the length stop in or out
until the correct measurement is achieve.
4. Tighten the length stop on the rod.

COOLANT SYSTEM
The sawing movement produces high temperatures
at the edge of the blade due to the friction generated.
The blade must therefore be cooled during operation.
Using a suitable lubricant or cooling agent leads to
better results and longer saw blade life. (Fig. 4.8)
HAFCO recommend that soluble cutting oil be used
available in tow sizes.
