    (2).After cleaning coat all bright work with a light lubricant. Lubricate all points in Fig 1. With a medium consistency machine oil. 5 MINIMUM ROOM SPACE FOR MACHINE OPERATION 6 MAKE PROPER TOOTH SELECTION For maximum cutting efficiency and lowest cost per cut, it is important to select the blade with the number of teeth per inch (TPI) for the material being cut.

    Stainless Steel 410,502 440C 304,324 304L 316,316L TELLTALE CHIPS Chips are the best indicator of correct feed force. Monitor chip information and adjust feed accordingly. Thin or powered chips-increase feed rate or reduce band speed. Burned heavy chips-reduce feed rate and/or band speed. Curly silvery and warm chips-optimum feed rate and band speed.

  • Page 11: Starting And Stopping Machine

    Refer to the electrical wiring diagram supplied with yo9ur machine for instructions on how to connect saw to power source. 9 STARTING AND STOPPING MACHINE 1. Raise the saw frame to the up position. 2. The machine is started by pushing the start button (C) Fig.2. And it will continue to run until the saw arm is in the down position at the end of the cut, or when the stop button (B) is pushed.

    downward position, the teeth of the blade are 1/16 below the tab-le surface. If an adjustment is necessary loosen lock nut (A) Fig.4. And turn stop screw (B) in or out until the correct adjustment is made. Then tighten lock nut (A). 11 CHANGING SPEEDS AND ADJUSTING BELT TENSION Your machine is provided with a range of four speeds: 50,125,200 and275feet per minute.

  • Page 13: Adjusting Blade Tension

    12 ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION To tension the blade, lift up the left wheel cover and turn the blat tension handle (A) Fig.8, clockwise. A pointer and tension scale (B) is located underneath the wheel. The scale is graduated to indicate tension of 20,000, 30,000 and 35,000 pounds per square.

  • Page 14: Adjusting Feed Rate

    15 ADJUSTING FEED RATE When the feed rate control knob is turned clockwise as far as it will go the saw frame will not move down, but it can be raised the up position. By turning the feed rate control knob counterclockwise, the flow of oil from the cylinder is regulated and determines the speed at which the saw frame will lower and the blade will feed through the work.
  • Page 15 The workpiece is placed between the jaws with the amount to be cut-off extending out past the blade. Your machine is equipped with a “quick action” vise jaw which allows you to instantly position the moveable vise jaw (B) Fig.12. Simply turn hand wheel (A) counterclockwise 1/2 turn and move the vise jaw (B) to the desired position.

    The use of proper cutting fluid is essential to obtain max-imum efficiency from a band saw blade. The main cause of tooth failure is excessive heat build-up. This is the reason that cutting fluid is necessary for long blade life and high cutting rates. Cutting area and blade wheels should be kept clean at all the time.
  • Page 17 Fig.18 2. The saw blade (A) should also ride between and lightly touch the two blade guide roller bearings (D) and (E) Fig.18. The front bearing (E) Fig.18 and 19 is mounted on an eccentric and can easily be adjusted to suit blade thickness by loosening set screw (F) and turning shaft (G) Fig.19. 3.

    2. Make sure the blade tension is adjusted properly. 3. Raise the saw frame and close the feed ion/off knob (B) Fig.20. 4. Place the stock (E) Fig.20, between the vise jaws. Adjust the stock for the desired length of cut and tighten the vise clamping and wheel (C).
  • Page 19 guides. 23 LUBRICATION HYRAULIC SYSTEM The hydraulic system on this machine consists of a hydraulic cylinder which is operated by a needle valve, the saw frame is raised be hand and as this is done, oil passes to the underside of the piston. The restricted flow is regulated by the feed rate control knob and governs the speed-that The saw frame lowers.

To change the gear box oil, proceed as follows: 1．Run the machine for 10 minutes to warm up the gear box. 2．Disconnect the machine from the power source. 3. Raise the saw arm to its maximum position and close the feed rate control knob. 4.
