Disconnect machine from power source before changing any voltage components! The HBS-916W Band Saw is rated at 115/230V single phase, and is pre-wired 115 volt from the factory. The HBS-1018W is rated at 230V only, single phase. Confirm that power available at the saw’s location matches that for which the...
To convert the HBS-916W from 115V to 230V, the following items will have to be changed: Main Motor – follow diagram inside junction box cover. Coolant Pump – Remove chip pan on front of saw, remove junction box cover on pump, and follow diagram inside junction box cover.
7. Material to be cut must be securely held in vise. 8. Check to see that coolant level is adequate and turn on coolant pump if material to be cut requires it. Machine should be filled with four gallons of the proper coolant mixture. Follow the directions on the product maker’s label and fill the coolant tank through the chip tray area.
Adjusting Feed Rate Rate of feed is adjusted by turning the cutting pressure control knob on the control panel. Rate of feed is important to band saw performance; excessive pressure may break the blade or stall the saw. Insufficient pressure rapidly dulls the blade.
9. Tension blade to approximately 25,000 lbs. of blade tension, as indicated on the blade tension indicator found on the tension wheel shaft housing. 10. Attach wire brush to the wire brush post with screw and washer. Adjust wire brush post so that brush just comes into contact with blade teeth.
2. Loosen two hex socket cap screws (A, Figure 9). Note: Left guide roller has two hex socket cap screws; right guide roller has one (HBS-916W only). The HBS-1018W has two screws on each guide. 3. Move guide seat (B) up or down until a clearance of .003”...
4. Place one end of a fish-type scale under the blade tension handle and lift the saw with the other end. The scale should indicate approximately 18-20 lbs. for the HBS-916W. For the HBS-1018W, it should indicate 22- 24 lbs.
Maintenance Before doing maintenance on the machine, disconnect it from the electrical supply by pulling out the plug or switching off the main switch! Failure to comply may cause serious injury. Keep the band saw and the motor clean. If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
