E. COOLANT TANK PREPARATION
&
WARNING
Disconnect and saw from the power source
bebre makin.g any repairs or adjustmentsl
Failure
to
comply may cause serious injuryl
Use of a water-soluble coolant will increase
cutting efficiency and prolong blade life. Do not
use black cutting oil as a substitute. Change
cutting oil
often
and
follow
manufacturers
instructions as to its uses and precautions.
{1}. Disconnect machine from the power source.
(2). Remove coolant return hose from tank cover.
(3). Slide tank out If saw base and carefully
remove lid containing coolant pump.
(4). Fill tank to approximately 80% of capacity.
(5). Place lid back onto tank and place tank
assembly back into base.
(6). Replace return hose back into hole in tank lid.
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE SAW WITHOUT
BLADE GUARDS IN PLACE.
Be sure the blade is not in contact with the work
when the motor is started. Start the motor. allow
the saw to come to full speed, then begin the cut
by letting the head down slowly onto the work. DO
NOT DROP OR FORCE. Let the weight of the
saw head provide the cutting force. The saw
automatically shuts off at the end of the cut.
F. BLADE SELECTION:
The choice of blade pitch is governed by the
thinness of the work to be cut: the thinner the
workpiece, the more teeth advised. A minimum of
three (3) teeth should angage the workpiece at all
times for proper cutting if the teeth of the blade
are so far apart that they straddle the work,
severe damage to the workpieG.E' and to the made
can result.
G. CHANGING BLADE:
Raise saw head to vertical pOSition and open the
blade guards.
Loosen tension
screw knob
sufficiently to allow the saw blade
to
slip off the
wheels. Install the new blade with teeth slanting
-7-
toward the motor as follows:
(1). Place the blade in between each of the guide
bearings.
(2). Slip the blade around the motor pulley
(bottom) with the left hand and hold inposition.
(3). Hold the blade taut against the motor pulley
by pulling the blade upward with the right hand
which is placed at the top If the made.
(4). Remove left hand from bottom pulley and
place is at the top aide of the made to continue
the application on the upward pull on the blade.
(5). Remove right hand from blade and adjust the
position of the top pulley to pennitleft hand to slip
the blade around the pulley using the thumb,
index and little finger as guides.
(6). Adjust the blade tension knob clockwise until
it is jus t right enough so no blade slippage occurs.
Do not tighten excessively.
(7). Replace the blade guards.
(8). Place 2-3 drops If oil on the blade.
H. USAGE OF THE QUICK VISE:
(1). The position of the vise when tightened.
(2). The position If the vise when loosened.
{Completely opened).
(3). The position of the vise when loosened. (Half
opened).
