OPERATION - MISCELLANEOUS
Bundle cutting
Begin by attaching the nestling clamps to the vises; refer to
Attach the Nestling Clamps (pg. 14).
• Follow either the Manual Operation (pg. 15) procedures or
the Automatic Operation (pg. 16) procedures.
• Set the system to bundle cutting; refer to Other Setting
(21 pg. 10).
• Clamping operations are the same. The switches, (J and K);
that operate the vises also operates the vertical motion of
the nestling clamp. So, if you open the shuttle vise then the
nestling clamp on the shuttle vise will open. And if you close
the shuttle vise the nestling clamp on the shuttle vise will
close.
Freeing a bound blade
Always disconnect the machine from its
power source before changing blades or
carrying out any maintenance procedure even in the case of
irregular machine operation.
If the saw blade suddenly becomes bound in the workpiece
during a cut, press the frame raise button (F) to lift the saw frame
immediately and disconnect the machine from it’s power source.
The saw blade jamming in the workpiece is most likely caused by
one of the following issues:
• Slippage occurring between saw blade and drive wheel.
Tension placed on the saw blade is not sufficient.
• Slippage occurring between drive belt and motor pulley.
Tension on drive belt is not sufficient or belt is worn.
• Broken teeth on the saw blade.
• Too blunt a saw blade.
• Too fine tooth spacing on saw blade for material being
cut.
• Too fast feed rate for material being cut and blade used.
Stopping the machine
In event of an emergency, press either the Emergency Stop
Button (C), or the Bow Up Switch (F), to stop all machine
functions. It is recommended using the Bow Up Switch (F),
because the emergency stop button will cancel all the machine
settings. When using the Bow up Switch, the workpiece will still
be clamped.
Also, the machine can be stop between task cycles switching to
Manual Mode with Auto/Manual Switch (D). Using this switch will
cause the machine to stop at the end of current task.
NOTE:
If the hydraulic pump is on and the machine
has not been active for 5 minutes, the power will be
shut off automatically. The machine will need to be
restarted to reactivate the hydraulic pump.
Coolant heater operation
22B
This band saw equipped with coolant heater that ensures the
cutting coolant flows properly in colder weather. The heater
power switch located in the control cabinet as shown above.
• There is a power breaker switch (22B) for coolant heater
using in the cool weather.
• Switch on the power switch when in using.
• Switch off the power switch when not in using.
23B
A knob is for setting coolant temperature (23B) is located at rear
of base, under blade motor as shown above.
