  • Page 8: Safety Precautions

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS The H-40 has been designed to give years of reliable service. It is essential that operators be alerted to the safe operation of this saw, and the practices to avoid that could lead to injury. The following safety rules are at the minimum necessary for the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of the saw.
  • Page 9 LIFTING THE H-40 The machine wieght is 39,000lbs or 42,000lbs with the optional outboard vise. Pg 1.2...
  • Page 10: Foundation, Levelling And Anchoring

    FOUNDATION, LEVELLING AND ANCHORING Machine location should be carefully selected. A flat concrete floor area should be chosen. It should have enough free space surrounding the machine to enable free access for safe operation and maintenance. Machine should be levelled in both directions, ie. along and across its infeed conveyor especially when machine is to be inserted into a larger conveyor system.
  • Page 11: Hydraulic Oil And Cutting Fluid

    Install infeed conveyor drive with bolts supplied. Install the conveyor drive chain. HYDRAULIC OIL AND CUTTING FLUID The H-40 bandsaw is supplied with Texaco 46 hydraulic oil. If it is necessary to change the oil to a different brand see the HYDRAULIC SECTION for an equivalent grade oil.
  • Page 12: Wiring Connections

    WIRING CONNECTIONS After the machine is levelled and anchored, the necessary power hook-up needs to be performed. In order to provide safe operation as well as to prevent potential damage to the machine, only qualified personnel should make the connections. BEFORE START-UP THE FOLLOWING TWO POINTS SHOULD BE CHECKED: -Signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping to the electrical cables and the hydraulic hoses.

  • Page 16 SECTION 2A, THE CONTROL CONSOLE START-UP The H-40 control console has been designed to simplify the operation of the saw, and to give the operator the ability to control the main functions at all times. The control panel is shown below.
  • Page 17: H-40 Electrical Controls

    H-40 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS HYDRAULIC START Starts hydraulic pump and enables BLADE START PUSHBUTTON PUSHBUTTON when depressed. Button is illuminated when hydraulic pump motor contactor is engaged and pump motor is running. Pushbutton must be held in until the hydraulics start and the DIGITAL READOUT turns on.
  • Page 18 CONVEYOR SELECTOR Three maintained positions : OUTFEED, BOTH, and SWITCH INFEED. Selects the conveyor(s) to move when the CONVEYOR FORWARD or REVERSE PUSH BUTTONS are used. CONVEYOR FORWARD Depressing pushbutton causes selected conveyor's PUSHBUTTON rollers to rotate in a direction which would move material forward from behind the saw head toward the front of the machine.

  • Page 20: Blade Basics

    Variable pitch, bi-metal blades (like the bi-metal blade supplied with the H-40 saws) last much longer, cut faster, and more accurately than conventional carbon steel blades.
  • Page 21: Variable Speed Control

    VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL Blade speed can be adjusted infinitely between 75 and 270 SFPM (Surface Feet/Minute) on the H-40. The remote blade speed adjustment, adjustment is made using the BLADE SPEED dial located on the control panel. The blade speed is displayed on the Digital Display.
  • Page 22: Saw Setup Example

    SAW SETUP EXAMPLE STEP 1 DETERMINE EFFECTIVE MATERIAL WIDTH, W (in.) Effective material width, W (in.) for most comon shapes of materials, is the widest solid part of the material to be in contact with blade during cutting. For simple shapes, as illustrated on the chart, this can be directly measured.
  • Page 23 STEP 3 DETERMINE OPTIMUM BLADE SPEED, V (ft/min) The relationship between optimum blade speed and effective material width for various materials is represented on the graph . The graph shows that as effective material width gets wider or as material gets harder, lower blade speeds are recommended.
  • Page 24 FEED RATE is the horizontal speed at which the blade descends through the workpiece. FEED RATE Knob controls FEED RATE of the blade in the range 0 to 10 in/min on the H-40. To set FEED RATE for particular cutting situations use the Graph below, which represents the relationship between FEED RATE, blade speed and blade pitch.

  • Page 27: Guide Arm Positioning

    In order to adjust the guide arm, the remote guide arm adjustment switch, located on the control console is used to hydraulically position the guide arm. Turn the switch clockwise to move the guide arm toward the stock. Turn the switch counterclockwise to move the guide arm away from the stock. H-40 Guide Arm Position Pg 2.12...
  • Page 28: Coolant Controls

    COOLANT CONTROLS A generous flow of coolant should be applied in order to increase production and blade life. The machine is provided with adjustable coolant controls on the left side of the operator control panel as shown below. A properly adjusted flow of coolant should cover the blade (from the adjustable guide arm) which in turn will carry it into the cutting area.

    120 F°. Oil temperature should never exceed 160 F°. 4. OIL PRESSURE - Oil pressure is factory set to 1200 psi on the H-40 and should not require further CLEANLINESS The H-40 series design should endure heavy operating conditions and provide the customer with flawless machine performance.
  • Page 35: Lubrication

    LUBRICATION The design of the H-40 were intended to minimize maintenance, although periodically certain moving parts need lubrication. We recommend that this periodic lubrication be done once a month using any general purpose grease. In addition to the grease points shown, vise jaw guides and infeed rollers require greasing.
  • Page 36: Toubleshooting

    Most problems which may occur have relatively simple solutions which appear in this section. If the solution is not found here, contact the Hyd-Mech Distributor from whom you purchased your bandsaw. They have trained field service personnel who will be able to rectify the problem.
