Setting the machine up After the machine has been connected up electrically and pneumatically, and it is a sure thing that all of the safety equipment is in perfect order, work may commence using the machine. Elevation adjustments The adjustment of elevation for the operation of slitting is effected using a pneumatic cylinder. This function is active only when the blade is stationary.
Square-cutting Square cutting is achieved using a pneumatic cylinder. The function is active only when the blade is running. The work is clamped by a cylinder using the two-hand control. When the set clamping pressure is reached the cutting is initiated. Adjusting the rotary table It is possible to turn the saw blade from the position of longitudinal cutting counterclockwise 0°...
Cutting operation Cross Cutting (vertically) During cross cutting the the table is fixed in the 90° position. The work is placed on the longitudinal stop and automatically clamped and then cross cut by operating the two-hand control.

Use thick blades if possible, because thin blades are not stable enough and can make a screeching noise at idling speed. Blades that sing should not be used. The speed of AVOLA saws is around 3000 rpm. The blades to be tensioned must match this speed. Wrongly stretched blades will flutter. The standard bore is 30 mm, The fit is H7.

Re-sharpening: Re-sharpen only by machine. It is best to use the services of a specialised sharpening firm, which can collect your blunt blades and bring them back properly set and sharpened. The most common errors with circular saw blades: 1. Side striking / causes: a) Wrong tension with regard to speed of machine, b) Stock thickness too little c) Loss of tension following overheating, gumming up and burns through blunt tips, wrong re-sharpening...
