Hydraulic Unit; Vice Clamping Force Setting - Pilous ARG 260 S.A.F. Instruction Manual

4.8. Hydraulic Unit

The hydraulic unit is installed in the machine base. It lifts the band saw arm, feeds the saw blade to the cut, and clamps and unclamps
the vice. 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.

4.8.1. Vice Clamping Force Setting

The hydraulic unit is fitted with a PRESSURE REDUCTION VALVE. It enables setting the required vice clamping force between 13
and 35 bar depending on the kind of the workpiece. Turning the PRESSURE REDUCTION VALVE to the left reduces the pressure,
while turning it to the right increases the pressure (see picture). The specified pressure is shown on the pressure gauge.
If the pressure is set below the clamping force smaller than 13 bar, the safety PRESSURE CONTROLLER OF THE VICE does not
switch on and the saw blade does not start.
