10.0 SET UP AND OPERATION
PREPARATIONS
!
All adjustments or repairs to machine must be done
with power off and machine disconnected from
power source. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury.
10.1 Blade Installation
1.
Make certain the cutting head is locked
in the vertical position.
2.
Unlock the clamps on both the upper
and lower blade wheel housings and
open the covers.
3.
Uncoil a blade. Route the blade around
the blade wheels, through each of the
guards, and through both blade guide
assemblies.
4.
Slide the blade on the wheels so the
back edge of the blade is approximately
1/32" from the back flange of the wheel.
Check the teeth on the portion of the
blade between the upper and lower
blade guides to see that they point down
toward the table (Fig. 7).
5.
Tension the blade by turning the tension
handle counterclockwise (CCW). (The
factory set is 1400 kgs/cm2.) Before
proceeding, make sure all guards and
covers are in place and secured.
6.
Turn the feed force to "0". Push the START button on
control panel and let the blade spin several times around
the blade wheels.
7.
Push the STOP button on the control panel. Check to
see if the back edge of the blade has maintained an
approximate 1/32" gap from the flange on the back of
blade wheels. If the blade rides against the flange or is
more than 1/32" away from the flange, adjust the lower
wheel tilt angle as follows (use hex wrenches to adjust the
three M10 set screws).
8.
Once the blade has been installed, tensioned and tracked
properly on the wheels, close the upper and lower covers.
Lock the clamps and secure all guards in place.
