Cutting Angle Settings - Pilous ARG 330 SAF Instruction Manual

4.4.2. Cutting Angle Settings

ARG band saws allow for both perpendicular cuts and cuts up to 60°. The band saw ARG 330 S.A.F. allows for single-sided
continuous cutting angle settings within 60° to the right side. Band saws ARG 330 PLUS S.A.F. and ARG 400 PLUS S.A.F. allow for
double-sided continuous cutting angle settings within 60° to the right and 45° to the left. Band saws ARG 380 PLUS S.A.F. and ARG
500 PLUS S.A.F. allow for double-sided continuous cutting angle settings within 60° to the right and 60° 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 (by ARG 380 and ARG 500 loosen the
dovetail handles under 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 330 S.A.F. and the ARG 400 plus S.A.F., raise the arm to about 40 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°.
