    SAFETY HAZARD LABELS The safety hazard labels attached to your machine represent important safety information to help you avoid personal injury or death. All supervisors, operators, and maintenance personnel must locate and understand the safety information associated with each hazard label prior to operating or servicing the machine. The safety hazard labels shown below are located at various positions on the machine to indicate possible safety hazards.

The ground rod is to be connected to customer’s in plant ground system.
  • Page 19: Power Wiring Connections

    POWER WIRING CONNECTIONS After the machine is levelled and anchored the necessary power hook-up needs to be performed. Check that there is no sign of shipping damage to the electrical conduits, cords or hydraulic hoses. As supplied, the machine is set to run on three phase voltage as indicated on the serial plate and voltage label. Machine voltage is customer specific and should be indicated while ordering the machine.

    SECTION 2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATOR CONTROL PANEL The operator control panel provides the operator with all the controls necessary to operate the saw after the cutting angle has been set and the stock has been loaded and secured. All of the electrical functions are operated from the control panel.
  • Page 21: Manual Mode Machine Operation

    Manual Mode Machine Operation Manual mode allows for a manual operation of the saw. In this mode all functions are activated by selection of the respec- tive function button on the user interface. To enter the manual mode after the main power has been turned off, press the Machine Start button. Follow the instruc- tions on the display, and select the Manual Mode.

  • Page 25: Blade Basics

    Variable pitch (following pages), bi-metal blades (like the ¾ or 4/6 bi-metal blade supplied with the Hyd-Mech machine) last much longer, cut faster and more accurately than the conventional carbon steel blades. In order to take advantage of the superiority of bi-metal blades, it is critical to properly “break in” a new blade. This is accomplished by taking two or three cuts through solid four or five-inch diameter mild steel at an extremely slow feed rate.
  • Page 26 DETERMINE OPTIMUM BLADE PITCH – TEETH PER INCH (T.P.I.) Selecting a blade with proper tooth pitch is important in order to achieve optimal cutting rates and good blade life. For cutting narrow or thin wall structural materials, a fine blade with many teeth per inch (T.P.I.) is recommended. For wide materials a blade with a coarse pitch should be used.
  • Page 27: Section 3 - Maintenance & Troubleshooting

    SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING SAFETY DURING MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING “Lock-out”, or “Lock-out Tag-out” are terms that refer to procedures taken to prevent the unexpected start-up, or other re- lease of energy, by a machine, whenever anyone is required to remove or bypass safety guards or devices, or whenever anyone is required to place part of his/her body in a hazard area.
  • Page 28 Machine Power Disconnect located on the side of the machine control box. 1. Ensure switch is in the OFF position. 2. Close the disconnect switch cover. 3. Install padlock and lock it. RESTORING MACHINE TO USE After completion of all repairs or maintenance to the locked-out machine, it shall be restored to use as follows: The person(s) who performed the work shall verify that all areas around the machine are safe, before the machine is re-energized.
  • Page 29: Blade Changing Procedure

    BLADE CHANGING PROCEDURE Rotate the head about 15° and lift the head up from the table a couple inches to allow enough room to change the blade. NOTE: Wear gloves for protection from the sharp blade. 1. Open the Wheels door by unscrewing the two knobs. 2.
  • Page 30 4. Remove the worn blade by sliding it off the wheels and out off both guide blocks 5. Your new blade will be in a coil. While wearing gloves, hold the blade away from yourself; twist the blade to uncoil it.
  • Page 31: Blade Tracking Adjustment

    9. With the blade in place, turn the tensioner handle clockwise until Bade Tension Display shows required value. Recommended blade tension is between 2600 - 3000 lbs (1180 - 1360 kg) If blade is under tensioned the blade motor will not start. 10.
  • Page 32: Drive Wheel Adjustment

    DRIVE WHEEL ADJUSTMENT The Drive Wheel adjustment is closely linked to adjustment of the Idler Wheel. The purpose of the adjustment is to ensure that the back of the blade remains about 0.58” - 0.62” (14.7 - 15.7 mm) away from the back edge of the wheel during rota- tion.
  • Page 33: Carbide Replacement

    CARBIDE REPLACEMENT The blade guide blocks are equipped with one top carbide and two side carbide inserts each. They can be replaced by removing the screws as shown. BLADE BRUSH ADJUSTMENT The machine leaves the factory with the blade brush adjusted for maximum life of the brush. This setting places the ends of the blade brush wires so as to contact the blade at the bottom of the blade gullets.
  • Page 34: Angle Brake Adjustment

    As shown, there are two springs on socket head screws holding the brush assembly against the blade. There is also an adjusting stop socket set screw A with a hex nut C on it. This adjusting set screw works as a stop determining the brush position in respect to the blade.
  • Page 35: Blade Tension Slide Adjustment

    BLADE TENSION SLIDE ADJUSTMENT To reduce the play, which may develop over time between the blade tensioner slide and slide gibs, adjust the screws be- tween the gibs and slide as follows: 1. Remove the head front cover. 2. Undo blade tension. 3.
  • Page 36: Lubrication

    LUBRICATION The S23P was designed to minimize the maintenance requirements. Moving assemblies and contact faces need lubrica- tion on a regular schedule whether they are in heavy use or not. The lubrication requirements of the S23P are primar- ily the saw pivot points and shuttle assembly which are equipped with grease fittings, and metal to metal surfaces that require lubrication to prevent wear and seizure.

  • Page 38: Gearbox Lubrication

    GEARBOX LUBRICATION The machine is equipped with a worm gear which is permanently lubricated and therefore maintenance free. The box has no filler cap, or drain, as it already contains the correct quantity of synthetic oil, guaranteeing perpetual lubrication of the crown and worm gear.
