  • Page 3: Grounding Instructions

    Ampere Rating Not More More Than Than AWG Not Recommended A. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS . All grounded, cord-connected tools: In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately. 2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 50 volts: This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A on page 4. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C on page 4, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. NOTE: THIS ADAPTER IS NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box. 5008 Rev. 02/06/06 5008_OpMan020606.indd 3 2/6/06 4:50:56 PM...

    5. Saw Blade: Ensure that the saw blade is sharp. exposed to the blade teeth. The pitch (or number of teeth per inch 6. Blade Speed: Ensure blade speed is set correctly for workpiece of blade) selected must provide engagement of at least 3 teeth in material and shape. the workpiece. Should application of this rule not be possible 7. Check Blade Tension: Particularly after initial cuts with a new blade. because the thinnest cross section is too thin, the piece must be loaded with the wider dimension exposed to the saw teeth and a Blade Selection coarser blade selected from the listing of recommendations for round and square solid bars. . Never use a blade so coarse that less than 3 teeth are engaged in the workpiece at any time. (Too few teeth will cause teeth to strip out.) 2. Never use a blade finer than required to obtain a satisfactory surface finish or satisfactory flatness. (Too many teeth engaged in the workpiece will prevent attainment of a satisfactory sawing rate; frequently cause premature blade wear; frequently produce “dished” cuts or the cuts are neither square nor parallel.) 3. The chart which follows is not expected to be exactly correct for all cases. It is intended as a general guide to good sawing practices Your blade supplier or the qualified engineers should be your most reliable source of correct information for operational details of saw blades and their use. 5008 Rev. 02/06/06 5008_OpMan020606.indd 5 2/6/06 4:51:00 PM...

    Removing and Installing the Blade When your machine was shipped, a blade was supplied and assembled to the saw. When selecting a new blade refer to the selection of saw blades. . Disconnect the machine from the power source. 2. Raise the saw frame about 6" and close the flow control regulator (F) Fig.  to stop the saw frame from descending. 3. Open both wheel covers and clean the chips out of the machine. 4. Release blade tension by turning the blade tension hand wheel (G) Fig. 2 Fig. 2 counter-clockwise. 5. Slide left blade guide arm to the right as far as possible (I) Fig.2. 6. Remove the blade from both wheels (H) Fig. 2, guide wheels (J) Fig.3, and out of each blade guide. 7. Make sure the teeth of the new blade are pointing in the direction of travel. If necessary, turn the blade inside out. 5008 Rev. 02/06/06 5008_OpMan020606.indd 6 2/6/06 4:51:01 PM...

    9. Work the blade all the way up between the blade guide bearings with the back of the blade against the back-up bearing, as shown in (I) Fig.4. Note: If bearings need adjustment, refer to the section adjusting blade Fig. 3 guide roller bearings. 0. Put light tension on the blade and work it on both wheels. Make sure that the back of the blade is against the wheel flanges of both wheels. This is very important. . When you are sure the back of the blade is against the wheel flanges of both wheels and properly inserted into the guides, finish putting tension on the blade. Proper tension 400kg/cm2 is achieved when the pointer (K) Fig. 5 is on the left mark of the blade tension scale behind the driven wheel. 2. Jog the power “on” and “off” to be sure the blade is in place and Fig. 4 tracking properly. If blade is not tracking properly, refer to the section tracking the blade. Starting and Stopping the Machine The saw frame must be in the raised position before starting the machine. The machine is started by pushing the start button (B) Fig. , and will continue to run until the saw frame is in the down position at the end of the cut. In an emergency, press the emergency button (D) Fig. . Fig. 5 5008 Rev. 02/06/06 5008_OpMan020606.indd 7 2/6/06 4:51:02 PM...

    4. Loosen the three bolts (L - Fig. 6) located on the top of the tracking nuts. 5. Tracking adjustment is accomplished by either loosening or tightening three adjusting nuts (O - Fig. 6). 6. Tracking is set properly when the back of the blade lightly touches the wheel flange. Note: Over-tracking (allowing blade back to rub hard against wheel flange) will damage the blade wheels and blade. 7. Tighten locking bolts (L) once properly tracking is completed. Adjusting Feed Rate When the feed arm descent valve (C) Fig.  is turned clockwise as far as it will go, the saw frame will not move down. By turning the feed control valve counter-clockwise, you regulate the flow of oil from the cylinder and determine the speed at which the saw frame will lower and the blade will feed through the work. Too many factors are involved to make tabulated data practical on feed rates. As a general rule, an even pressure without forcing the blade gives best results. Avoid forcing the blade at the start as this may shorten blade life and produce a bad cut. By inspecting the chips while the cut is being made will indicate whether the feed rate is correct. Fine powdery chips indicate a feed rate which is too light. The teeth are rubbing over the surface instead of cutting. Burned chips indicate excessive feed which causes the teeth to break off as the blade overheats. The ideal feed rate is indicated by chips that have a free curl and this will give the fastest cutting time and longest blade life. 5008 Rev. 02/06/06 5008_OpMan020606.indd 8 2/6/06 4:51:02 PM...

    3. Adjust the movable vise to be parallel to the fixed vise. Loosen bolts (S) Fig.  on the movable vise and slide it flush with the set fixed vise (R) Fig. 0. Then secure bolts (S) Fig.  on the movable vise. Setting Up the Machine for Operation . Select the proper speed and blade for the type of material you are Fig. 11 going to cut. 2. Make sure blade tension is adjusted properly. 3. Lift the saw frame up and turn off the oil regulating knob (F) Fig. to stop the saw bow, and turn the feed rate knob (C) Fig. clockwise to the zero position. 4. Place the stock between the vise jaws, set the stock for the desired width of cut and tighten the vise. 5. Make sure the left blade guide bracket (M) Fig. 7, is adjusted as close as possible to the left vise jaw (Q) Fig. 0. 6. Open the flow control knob (F) Fig. and turn the feed control valve (C) Fig., counter-clockwise until the saw blade begins to lower by the desired rate. 7. Proceed to cut through the workpiece. The machine will shut off upon completion of cut. 5008 Rev. 02/06/06 5008_OpMan020606.indd 10 2/6/06 4:51:04 PM...
