Basic functions
MAIN SWITCH
TOTAL STOP
MODE
This switch enables switching between modes:
AUTOMAT - closed automatic cutting cycle
MANUAL - allows for independent control of all functions
HYDRAULIC UNIT START - STOP
When the MAIN SWITCH is on, the HYDRAULIC UNIT - START button serves for activating the electrical
system of the machine and at the same time for starting the hydraulic unit.
The white indicator lamp between the buttons indicates that the device is on.

Green START button
Press the button in AUT mode to start the operating cycle (clamping the material, start of the saw blade
engine and the coolant pump, hydraulic arm feed towards the cut, lifting the arm into the specified
position, switching off the saw blade engine and the coolant pump, vice release). When starting the saw
blade motor, the arm has to be raised above the switching track of the limit switch that ends the cut.
Otherwise the motor will not start.
In MANUAL mode, the saw blade and the cooling emulsion pump will start.When starting the saw blade
motor, the arm has to be raised above the switching track of the limit switch that ends the cut. Otherwise
the motor will not start. The vice must be clamped.
Red button STOP - stops the saw blade motor and the coolant pump.
The button is red-lit - fault in the saw blade drive (see section 9)
END STROKE SWITCH
The switch in position 1 automatically ascends the arm to the upper position after the cut.
The switch in position 0 leaves the arm after the cut in the lower end position. This enables to set the height of
the band saw arm (see section 4.9.).
If the arm is in the lower position, or if the arm is between cuts, turn the switch into position 1 in order to
ascend the arm to the upper position.

Before you start the saw blade motor, always make sure that
the saw blade is not in contact with the workpiece at the
point of cutting.
