B Stroke Control Adjustment-Power Down Feed - Scotchman CPO 350 Manual

7.2B STROKE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
SEE FIGURE 15 ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.
Before powering the machine, the up and down strokes of the saw head must be set. The stroke is set by
the collars (A & B) on the shaft (C).
TO SET THE STROKE:
1. Without powering the saw, cycle the head down by depressing the foot switch, with the ON-OFF
switch in the OFF position. If this switch is in the ON position, the saw motor will start when the
pedal is depressed.
2. Close the flow control (D) down so that the head travels down slowly. When the blade reaches the
point where it will cut through the material, close the flow control valve (D) and the head will stop at
that point.
3. Loosen the handle (E) on the collar (B) and slide the collar up until it contacts the limit switch (F).
4. Slowly release the flow control knob and allow the head to return until the blade is just high enough
that the material will feed under the blade. Then, close the flow control valve.
5. Loosen the handle on the upper collar (A) and slide the collar down until it contacts the limit switch
(G).
6. To make sure that the settings are correct, open the flow control valve (D) and cycle the head several
times before powering the machine.
Ö
CAUTION: ANY TIME THAT THE BLADE OR THE SIZE OF THE MATERIAL BEING CUT IS
CHANGED, THE STROKE OF THE MACHINE HAS TO BE CHECKED. FAILURE TO SET
THE STROKE OF THE MACHINE WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE OR TO
THE BLADES.
7. Adjust the flow control valve (D) to the proper cutting feed rate before cutting any material.
The lubricating device should produce a drop of oil every 5 to 10 cycles. It can be adjusted by the
knob on top of the lubricator. There is a clear plastic dome on top of the lubricator with a copper
tube inside. The oil should drop from the copper tube. The oil in the lubrication device should be
checked everyday. The oil level in the reservoir should be checked every week. For recommended
fluids, REFER TO SECTION 5.2.
As with all other functions of the saw, selection of the proper blade, spindle speed and clamping are
very important in providing a quality finished product.
