Adjusting Feed Rate; Coolant - Grizzly G1011Z Instruction Manual

Adjusting Feed Rate

The hydraulic cylinder connected to the saw bow
regulates the rate at which the blade is lowered
into the workpiece. Opening and closing the valve
on the control panel (See Figure 13) controls the
feed rate.
There is a by-pass valve on the side of the
hydraulic cylinder which is preset at the factory.
This by-pass allows the pressure to be relieved
if for some reason the saw bow is forced down-
ward. Do not attempt to adjust the by-pass valve
setting.

Coolant

Use of the coolant system is optional and is
dependent upon the type of material being cut
and the quantity. Directing coolant on the cut
keeps the blade and workpiece from overheating,
and it flushes the metal chips away from the tooth
area to keep a good cutting surface.
The coolant tank is at the bottom of the machine
on the right hand side. See Figure 14. Add
the coolant solution to this tank, and locate the
submersible pump so the suction intake is com-
pletely submerged. Generally water soluble fluids
will work best. Refer to the specific mixing and
replacement instructions of the coolant manufac-
turer. A drain plug is located at the corner of the
tank to allow the easy draining of the coolant.
Turn the coolant pump on at the control panel,
and direct the coolant nozzle directly at the cut.
