OPERATION
OPERATING THE METAL BAND SAW
1. Pull out the pin (Fig. 9 - 1) from the hole in the saw’s
body and tilt the saw to its upper position. Set the blade
stop to the desired position (Fig. 10 - 2).
NOTE:
Never adjust the blade stop bolt so that the blade
interferes with any part of the saw. Always check to be sure
that the blade will not cut any part of the saw.
2. Use the vise to secure the workpiece in place (Fig. 10 -
1). Adjust the cutting speed to the desired rate.
3. Push the green button (Fig. 11 - 1) to turn on power to
the saw. The power indicator light (Fig. 11 - 2) will light up,
but the blade will not start running yet. Pull the run trigger
(Fig. 12 - 1) to start the blade running.
4. Once the saw blade has come to full speed, gradually
lower the saw body downwards until the blade comes into
light contact with the workpiece. Let the saw blade make a
small groove along the workpiece to help ensure a straight
cut (particularly with curved or round workpieces).
5. Once initial contact and a groove have been made, apply
a small amount of additional pressure to continue the cut.
Let the machine do the work.
NOTE:
For optimal performance, cutting should only occur
for 40% of the overall run time. For example, for every 10
minutes the machine is running, only four of those minutes
should be under load in order to maximize the performance
of the machine.
WARNING!
When cutting magnesium, if using
cutting oils, NEVER use water-soluble cutting oils
or emulsions (oil-water mix). The water will greatly
intensify any accidental magnesium chip fire and cause
danger.
