3. INSTALLATION: 3.1 Moving and lifting: Unpack your machine carefully, and use a crane or forklift to set it in position. If a crane is used to lift the machine attach the lifting cable carefully to the machine as shown in the fig 2.
3.2 Foundation layout and set-up: (1) Foundation: The foundation should be constructed of reinforced concrete and must be level and flat. After the proper leveling position has been obtained, anchor the machine with anchor bolts. The position of anchor bolts and floor dimensions are shown in fig 4: □...
(2) Leveling: The production accuracy of all precision machinery depends on the accuracy which the machine is installed. Manufacturing tolerance of the machine can only be guaranteed if the machine is firmly and properly installed . Once the machine is lowered on the prepared foundation. Machinist levels should be Used alternately on the vise slide plates and the work feed table , and adjust the left-and-right and fore-and-aft level of the machine with leveling bolt .
4. OPERATION 4.1 Control Panel (1) PNC Control Panel Cutting Piece Counter – This counter is used to preset the number of cuts required on the automatic operation. When the counter reaches the preset number, the machine stops automatically . To activate the counter, preset the counter switch with number at least “1”.

(6) ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE WIRE BRUSH : a. loosen the lock lever of the wire brush case. b. Manually move the wire brush case so that wire brush just contacts the cutting edge of the saw blade. c. Tighten the lock lever. (7) ADJUST THE FEED RATE : Select suitable feed rate for the workpiece to be cut.
4.4 AUTOMATIC OPERATION : Having finished all the procedures described above in (2) Operating Preparation ,and with the workpiece to be cut placed in the vise of the machine , but NOT under the saw blade. (1) Turn the AUTO-MANUAL selector to manual. In control panel – The front vise clamp the workpiece when turn switch NO.(8) right and press button NO.(6) 1.5sec in the same time.
