6. Machine operation

Correct working position:
In front of the machine standing in the
direction of cutting.

Workpiece handling:
Support long workpieces with helping
roller stands.
Work only with a sharp and flawless
sawblade.
Don't take measurements or
adjustments when the machine is
running
Don't chuck too short in vice.
Don't cut magnesium-
high danger to fire!
Ensure that the saw blade protective
cover is in the correct position before
you start sawing.
Place workpiece in vise and tighten
vise. The workpiece should be fitted
directly between the jaws without
adding other objects.
Never hold a workpiece just by hand –
the workpiece must be firmly clamped
in the vise (Fig 3).
Fig 3
Do not reach into the cutting area
during cutting operations.
The cutting head must be returned
carefully to its starting position after
cutting.
The condition of the blade should be
checked before each machining
process.
Work only with a sharp and flawless
sawblade.
Select saw blade in relation to
material to be cut.
Coolant system:
Use the coolant facility to keep cutting
temperatures down, reduce friction
and extend the life of your sawblade.
Make sure the cutting liquid is properly
contained to the machine.
Use only water soluble cutting
emulsions and dispose of it in an
environmentally friendly manner.
The coolant flow control valve (Fig 4)
is located on the back of the saw.
Adjust the valve to achieve desired
flow.
