Guide Head Setting - Pilous ARG 220 D Instruction Manual

Close the guard, switch on the master switch or connect the machine to the network. Switch on the hydraulic unit and set the
minimum saw blade speed. Start the saw blade by depressing the push-button Saw Blade Start so that it turns approximately once
through. Make sure that the saw blade fits correctly in the guide heads. Restart the saw blade with the Start push-button and let it turn
approximately once through. Switch off the master switch or isolate the machine from supply and secure it against restarting.
Remove the rear guard of the band saw head to make sure that the saw blade is correctly fitted in the guide heads and correctly
installed on the moving wheels (see figure). If the saw blade is not correctly installed on the moving wheels, release the tension grip
and adjust the wheel setting with the screw (see figure). Tighten the tension grip so that the Belleville washers are pressed
completely (no light appears) and the saw blade limit switch switches! Close the rear guard of the band saw head and switch
on the hydraulic unit. Make a test run of the saw blade. Switch off the master switch or isolate the machine from supply, and check the
fitting of the saw blade on the moving wheels. Repeat the whole procedure, if required. For casual checking of blade position can be
used SAW BLADE GUIDE INSPECTION HOLE. Close the rear guard of the band saw head, switch on the master switch and the
hydraulic unit. Adjust the stoke height of the band saw head (see chapter 5.5.). Carry out the first cut.

5.3.2. Guide Head Setting

The correct setting of the bearings and the carbide saw blade guides in the guide heads substantially\ influences the saw blade life
and the quality of the cut. The eccentrically arranged guide head bearings must be set in such a manner that the saw blade surface is
parallel to the carbide plate surfaces and the clearance between these plates and the saw blade is minimal.
