4.2 OPERATING PREPARATION
There are several steps will be taken before start the machine.
(1) CHOOSE PROPER SAW BLADE :
Select the saw blade best suited to the workpiece to be cut, Size and shape of the workpiece , and
type of material should all be considered when selecting the saw blade to be used . There is a reference
chart in chapter 9 which can help you to select the right saw blade and cutting conditions .
(2) UNPACK THE SAW BLADE :
Usually the saw blade is packed in 3 circle ,unpack it one circle first grip the part to release another 2
circles gradually , tear off the saw-cap protective shield , inspect the blade teeth , make sure that the
cutting edge of the blade teeth point to the right . If they point to the left the blade should be turned over.
(3) PLACE THE SAW BLADE ONTO BOTH THE DRIVE AND DRIVEN WHEELS ----
a. Turn the hydraulic blade tension handle clockwise , to fully loosen the driven wheel .
b. Open both the drive and driven wheel covers , place the saw blade onto both the drive and driven
wheels. Check the cutting edge of the saw blade , to ensure that it point to the right.
c. Insert the saw blade into both the left and right blade guides so that the back edge of the saw blade
touches the back-up roller of each guide .
d. The back edge of the saw blade should make contact with the flange of the drive and driven wheel ,
turn count -clockwise the hydraulic blade tension handle to tighten
the saw blade , Then the blade
is
properly tensioned .
e. Don't forget to tighten the insert adjusting screw .
(4) WORKPIECE CLAMPING :
a. Raise the saw frame , open the vise , place the workpiece on the roller table .
b. Gently push the workpiece into the roller-feed vise, taking care not hit the feed rollers.
c. Clamp the workpiece in vise.
(5) ADJUST THE BLADE GUIDE ARM :
Blade guide arm adjustment
a. unlock the guide arm and carbide guides to move the guide
arm.
1. Turn clockwise throat flow control valve V1 to close the
in-flow to the guide arm lock and carbide tightening.
2. Turn counter-clockwise throat flow control valve V2 to let the
oil out back to tank, to release the guide arm lock and carbide
tightening.
3. Move the guide arm to the proper position that just wide
enough to clear the workpiece for cutting.
b. lock the guide arm and carbide guides before cutting.
1. Turn counter-clockwise throat flow control valve V1 to let the
in-flow to the guide arm lock and carbide tightening.
2. Turn clockwise throat flow control valve V2 to close the oil out
back to tank, to have the guide arm locked and carbide tightened
to the saw blade. Properly position the blade guide arms
according
to the diameter (or the width) of the workpiece to be cut.
