Kalamazoo KM14, Инструкция по эксплуатации

Страница: 3 / 4

BASIC SAW OPERATION
The KM14 14” abrasive mitre saw mitres 45 degrees left or right and any angle in between. Pre-set holes have
been drilled and pinned at 90 degrees, 30 degrees and at 45 degrees left and right. To swivel the saw head pull the
index pin
(#70) on mitre base plate (#7), loosen the table lock handle (#17), rotate saw head with trunnion pin
(#66) . When desired angle is reached (45 degrees, 30 degrees and or 90 degrees) replace index pin (#70) . With
other angles there is no index pin hole. Use the table lock handle to lock the saw head.
Two vises are provided for either left or right cuts. Typically only one vise is used depending on which way the
saw head is mitred.
Note: dual vising can only be used in the 90 degree position. Vise jaws swivel to mitre
cut. If the wok piece is not as wide as the vise jaw use a shim on the other of the jaw the same diameter/size as
the work piece to keep the jaw from swiveling.
Note: shimming material when necessary will give you more
even clamping. BE SURE MATERIAL IS SECURELY CLAMPED. ANY MOVEMENT DURING
CUTTING WILL RESULT IN BLADE BREAKAGE.
IMPORTANT
ONLY USE REINFORCED CUTOFF ABRASIVE WHEELS THAT HAVE 1” ARBOR AND
DESIGNED TO HAVE AT LEAST A MOS OF 4400 RPM.
SPINDLE SPEED: 4400 RPM
ARBOR SIZE: 1”
Always use the correct abrasive wheel for material being cut. Abrasive wheels come in different grades and bonds
for specific materials. A good cut should be bright and not be blue and or discolored. If discoloration occurs the
wheel is not cutting and is heating up the material. Use enough pull down force to make the wheel cut and breaks
down.
Consult your local abrasive wheel dealer for abrasive cutoff blades.
IMPORTANT: STEEL TOOTHED BLADES ARE NOT TO BE USED WITH THIS SAW. BLADE
GUARD IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH TOOTHED BLADES.
Parts Location can sometimes result in cutting problems. Be sure material is slightly ahead of wheel center
(towards operator). On small diameter parts shim out the material to bring it towards the operator and slightly
past wheel center. Keep wheel flanges clean and flat to ensure true running of the wheel.
Spindle can be locked to change the wheel by using one of the vise jaw pins in the hole in the spindle housing.
Be sure when your locking the spindle use hardened steel. If soft material is used to lock spindle it will
break in the housing. The spindle nut is a LH thread. Do not use a hammer or an impact gun to tighten
nut. Hand tighten only.
SAW MAINTENANCE
Always check v-belts for correct tension. Loose drive belts will cause slipping and poor cutting and will burn belts
up. Tighten v-belts by loosening motor bolts, use a belt tightener to spread the pulleys for tension. The
Approximately ½” of squeeze is needed on the v-belt for tension. Use a straight edge to keep both pulley faces
parallel to eliminate v-belt wear when tightening. Keep machine and work area
CLEAN . Ball bearings are sealed
and do not need greasing.
MACHINE SAFETY
• ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
• NOT WEAR GLOVES. (CAN GET
CAUGHT IN EQUIPMENT)
• TIE BACK HAIR.
• DO NOT HAVE LOOSE CLOTHES
