ADJUSTING SAWBLADE TRACK (RIGHTWARD/ LEFTWARD DIRECTION) 6. Turn the blade track adjustment screw 1/4 turn counter-clockwise for moving the sawblade leftward. Turn the screw 1/4 turn clockwise for moving the sawblade rightward. 7. After blade track is adjusted, tighten the fixing nut (2). 8.
ADJUSTING CONVEYOR BELT TRACKING 1. If the conveyor belt runs to either right or left side, you need to adjust the conveyor belt running track. 2. Before adjusting the conveyor belt tracking, make sure the conveyor belt tension is tightened. Otherwise, you should adjust belt tension before adjusting its running track.
ADJUSTING THE LOADING PRESSURE OF INFEED PRESSURE ROLLER The loading (hold-down) pressure and raising sensitivity of the indeed pressure roller can be adjusted by turning the two air flow regulators, provided on the air cylinder located at the infeed end. The “UPPER AIR FLOW REGULATOR “is used to adjust the hold- down pressure of the infeed pressure roller.
CONVENIENT WOOD INFEED The infeed roller assembly is equipped with a sensing plate. Once the wood touches the sensing plate, the infeed roller assembly will raise slowly. This allows the wood to be pressed by the infeed roller easily without blocking problems. INFEED ROLLER ASSEMBLY SENSING...
MAINTENANCE Proper maintenance is important to keep the machine in the best condition. Note that a small problem may lead to poor machine performance or even cause a serious damage. Therefore, the operator and maintenance personnel should not neglect the maintenance work. CAUTION Disconnect air supply and release compressed air from the air system before servicing...

MAINTENANCE 2. DAILY MAINTENANCE (1) Every day before starting the machine, check all lubrication positions of the machine. (2) Every day when the work is finished, clean the machine. Remove wood chips from the machine and surroundings. Apply oil on the sliding parts.
Page 62
MAINTENANCE 3. WEEKLY MAINTENANCE (1) Clean the filter screen and fan in the electrical cabinet. (2) Clean the entire machine and the working area. (3) Check if any switch or push-button has loosened or not. If loosened, tighten securely. (4) Check if warning devices and proximity sensors work normally on not. (5) Open wheel Hubs on Saw Wheel and tighten Bearing retaining nut by one notch, this ensures the bearings are preloaded.
