    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS The S-23 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.

    SECTION 2, OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS OPERATOR CONTROL PANEL The operator control panel provides the operator with all the controls necessary to operate the saw after the cutting angle has been set and the stock has been loaded and secured. All of the electrical functions and the Feed Rate setting are operated from the control panel.

  • Page 15: Blade Basics

    Before any material is cut, it is necessary to have good understanding of the basics of cutting metals. Damage to the blade and the saw it’s self as well as injury to the operator may occur if the saw is not used properly. Refer to Section I for safety instructions.

  • Page 16: Determine Optimum Blade Pitch

    DETERMINE OPTIMUM BLADE PITCH TEETH PER INCH (T.P.I.) Selecting a blade with proper tooth pitch is important in order to achieve optimal cutting rates and good blade life. For cutting narrow or thin wall structural materials a fine, blade with many teeth per inch (T.P.I.) is recommended. For wide materials a blade with a coarse pitch should be used.

    SECTION 3, MAINTENANCE and TROUBLESHOOTING BLADE CHANGING PROCEDURE NOTE: Wear gloves for protection from the sharp blade. 1. Open the Idler Wheel and Drive Wheel doors and swing the head to as this will make it easier to grip the blade closer to both wheels. 2.

  • Page 23: Blade Tracking Adjustment

    BLADE CHANGING PROCEDURE, CONTINUED 9A. As the blade tracking will stay fairly constant, it should be checked occasionally as shown on the drive wheel tracking photo below. The blade teeth should protrude from .195" to .210" (5mm to 5.3mm) from the face of the blade wheels.

  • Page 24: Blade Guide Adjustment

    BLADE BRUSH ADJUSTMENT The S-23 leaves the factory with the blade brush adjusted for maximum life of the brush. This setting places the ends of the blade brush wires so as to contact the blade at the bottom of the blade gullets. The plastic drive wheel that is driven by the drive wheel face should be held against the blade face with the minimum force that is necessary.

  • Page 25: Drive Belt Replacement

    DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT The drive belt on the S-23 is a long life grooved belt. It should last for many of hours of operation and should rarely require replacement. See the BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY drawing on Pg 6.2. HEAD DOWN LIMIT SWITCH The Head down limit switch operates to cut power to the blade motor and the coolant pump motor when the Head has descended to the bottom of its travel.

  • Page 26: Lubrication

    The lubrication requirements of the S-23 are primarily the saw pivot points which are equipped with grease fittings and metal to metal surfaces ( S ) that require lubrication to prevent wear and seizure, as shown on this page and page.
