Cutting Angle Settings - Pilous ARG 260 S.A.F. Instruction Manual

4.3.2.Cutting Angle Settings

ARG band saws allow for both perpendicular cuts and cuts up to 60 °. The band saws ARG 260, 300 S.A.F. allow for single-sided
continuous cutting angle settings within 60° on the right. Band saws ARG 260, 300 PLUS S.A.F. allow for double-sided continuous
cutting angle settings within 60° to the right and 45° to the left. The stop bolts facilitate a stable limit angle setting. Before you swing
the arm, unlock the arm with the locking lever and after setting the desired angle, lock the arm again. The desired arm swing angle will
subtract from the angle scale. By the band saws of the PLUS line, before you swing the arm, mind the correct vice positioning in
relation to the desired swing angle in order to prevent a collision of the arm/blade with the vice. If there is a danger of collision, loosen
the adjusting screws of the vice and move the vice in the T groove to the other side while the arm is raised, and lock the vice again.
When swinging the arm of the ARG 260, 300 S.A.F., raise the arm to about 30 mm above the loading surface of the vice in order to
prevent the collision of the saw blade with the vice loading surface. If using the band saw only for perpendicular cuts for a longer time,
we recommend that you carry out a precautionary step and swing the band saw into the angle and back at least once a week,
because the coolant acts aggressively, which can result in jamming of the arm in one position.
WARNING! When using the vertical vice while cutting the workpieces in HVP bundles, you can cut only at 90°.
