Attention for usage of new saw blade selected

  1. Before loading the new saw blade, keeping the cleaning of the saw blade wheel and checking the coolant and hydraulic system
  2. Fine and coarse teeth saw blade should be applied according to size of stocks, please check the above item 3 to choose the suitable saw blade for your stock so that no any teeth of saw blade broken;
  3. Cutting speed should be lower while cutting the material with quite high hardness
  4. The saw blade selected also was considered as per the shape of the stock, teeth-change blade should be used for the profile stock, keep at least two tooth inside the stock constantly
  5. Reasonable to choose coolant liquid for variable stock, oil and water ratio can be 1 :5 for high alloy steel and 1: 10 for low alloy steel and carbon steel

Installation methods for the saw blade

  1. checking the saw blade and welding coupling before installation
  2. up rise the saw frame and open the front cover, follow the marks instruction and rotating up the lead screw 5-7cm, and open the adjustment crews on the left and right
  3. keep the new blade into the leading box and adjusting the nuts and clamping the blade gently as per the instruction, the clamping force of blade was normally about 25N.M
  4. power on and off and make the blade rotating gradually till the saw blade into normal working
  5.  keeping the machine into free working for 2 minutes for checking without any abnormal happened

Fixture stock

See the figure 1 for the clamping of variable stocks

Hydraulic system

The hydraulic system was used for:

  1. up and down of saw frame
  2. clamping and unclamping of stock
  3. blade feeding speed, system pressure: 1.8-2Mpa,see below

Operation and maintenance

  1. checking the power source with correct wire connecting and keep the suitable coolant liquid and hydraulic oil
  2. Idle running machine and assure the machine with right rotating direction and fluent coolant and moving of up and down
  3. adjusting the stock stopper with right position of cutting length, and stock is in clamping status
  4. keeping the stock bracket at suitable height
  5. adjusting the up-valve and down-valve and make the saw blade 2cm higher than the stock, and changing the stroke quill and make sure that the stroke switch can be touched properly during up rising and cutting off of saw blade, cutting speed should be increased slowly while cutting into the stock
  6. lubrication oil No.32 was applicable for the sliding parts, such as camping vise, main column, sub-column
  7. Lubrication oil should be changed periodically
  8. Any parts of the personal body should be away from the running blade
  9. Overload operation will cause a hard damage to the machine
  10. Blade changing should be operated after power off
  11. Keep clean environment around the machine
  12. Power off the main switch while stopping the machine and rise-up the bracing, opening the vise and saw blade

Usual major faults and solution

mechanical parts

Faults Main reason caused solution
Teeth broken 1.high feeding rate Decrease the feeding rate
2.oversize teeth selected Change blade with smaller teeth
3.wrong fixture of irregular stock Revise the fixture
4.no match up of blade Test blade firstly
Teeth tip wear off High speed rotating of saw blade Lower speed
Higher hardness of material Change the saw blade into high hardness
Cutting coolant liquid density Increase the density
Wrong coolant liquid chosen Change the coolant liquid number
Higher feeding rate Lower the feeding speed
Harsh e•ction of saw blade Higher feeding rate
Wrong coolant chosen Choose the suitable coolant
Unqualified saw blade Change the blade
Sharp sound while cutting 1.over speed of saw blade Decrease the speed
2. irregular surface of welding joint Grind the welding joint
3. Wrong coolant chosen Change the coolant
Faults Main reason caused solution
  4.tolerance between leading box and saw blade Adjust the tolerance again
  5.over feeding rate and higher pressure Lower the feeding speed
