3. INSTALLATION: 3.1 Moving and lifting: Unpack your machine carefully, and use a crane or forklift to set it in position. If a crane is used to lift the machine attach the lifting cable carefully to the machine as shown in the fig 2. If forklift is used then fig 3.
3.2 Foundation layout and set-up: (1) Foundation: The foundation should be constructed of reinforced concrete and must be level and flat. After the proper leveling position has been obtained, anchor the machine with anchor bolts. The position of anchor bolts and floor dimensions are shown in fig 4: Contact portion with floor Position of anchor bolts...

(2) Leveling: The production accuracy of all precision machinery depends on the accuracy which the machine is installed . Manufacturing tolerance of the machine can only be guaranteed if the machine is firmly and properly installed . Once the machine is lowered on the prepared foundation . Machinist levels should be Used alternately on the vise slide plates and the work feed table , and adjust the left-and-right and fore-and-aft level of the machine with leveling bolt .
4. OPERATION 1. Control Panel (1) Emergency Stop -- This switch is used for emergency case to stop the machine only. Turn this switch clockwise makes power source on. When this switch is pressed, all machine's operation stop immediately. (2) Pilot Lamp -- This light will comes on when the power supply is on.
4.2 OPERATING PREPARATION There are several steps will be taken before start the machine. (1) CHOOSE PROPER SAW BLADE : Select the saw blade best suited to the workpiece to be cut, Size and shape of the workpiece , and type of material should all be considered when selecting the saw blade to be used .
(8) SELECT THE SAW BLADE SPEED : There are 6 speeds provided : 25, 32, 42, 55, 70, 80 M/min If a optional variable speed drive is equipped the speed to be 20 to 80 M/Min steplessly. 4.3 MANUAL OPERATION : Place the workpiece to be cut on the work table , decide how long you want the off-cut , and carry out all the procedures as described above in [2] Operating Preparation.
4.5 BREAK-IN OPERATION: When a new blade is used , be sure to first break in the blade before using it for extended operation. Failure to break in the blade will shorten the service lift of the blade ,and result in less than optimum efficiency.
5.2 Oiling and Lubricant The operator should be responsible for the proper lubrication of the machine. The grade and quality of lubricant are given in the lubrication chart below : Oil Lubrication chart Lubricating Point Lubricant Quantity Oiling Frequency Transmission DAPHNE GEAR LUBE 320 30 liters Twice a year Gear Box...
5.3 OTHERS VARIABLES WHICH AFFECT BANDSAW BLADE LIFE 1. The Operator - The operator is the most important variable at any test. He can make or break any test and often has a great deal of influence over whose bandsaw blades are used. He can also be a good source of information on what is going on, competitive situations, relationships with manufacturers or distributors, etc.

12. Machine Condition-Whether a machine is old or new, and whether well maintained or not contributes to how well it runs and how long the band last. The better shape a machine is in, the better the bands will run. Poor machines ruin bandsaw blades. 13.
6. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE The following charts contains some typical troubles along with the probable causes and remedies for each. 6.1 Sawing Problems and Solution Vibration during cutting Failure to cut Short life of saw blade Curved cutting Broken blade Use blade with correct pitch, Use of blade with incorrect pitch suited to workpiece...
