SAFETY

This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your press be alert to the potential for personal injury. Employer is responsible to perform a hazard/PPE assessment before work activity.

INSTALLATION

• UNCRATING: Remove crating carefully. For ease in handling do not remove from skid until machine has been moved to its approximate location.
• LEVELING: Position machine level, shim under legs if necessary. Wet machines should be more carefully leveled to be certain that the coolant intake remains submerged.

CAUTION: BE SURE ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MOTOR AND SWITCH CORRESPOND WITH ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY. CONNECT INCOMING POWER TO THE STARTER PER APPLICABLE DIAGRAM, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL LOCAL CODES. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN THIS SAW UNTIL THE BLADE ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN CHECK AS PER THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND THE BLADE HAS BEEN PROPERLY RE-TENSIONED.

OPERATION

FEATURES

• OFF/ON Switch: Machines are equipped with a with low voltage, dropout protected manual starter and a limit switch. When the machine frame reaches the end of its down travel it contacts the limit switch, turning off the machine.
• Blade Tension Handle: To keep blade at proper tension turn the screw handle until it is at tight as possible. Check every 8 operating hours and retighten to compensate for possible stretching of the blades. Consult your blade manufacturer for the proper PSI tension.
• Guide Arms: Guide arms should be set as close as possible to the work without interfering. Loosen the handle on the left guide arm to slide arm along the top of the frame, once in desired location tighten the handle to lock guide arm in place.
• Hydraulic Control: The hydraulic control cylinder mounted on the rear of the machine is operated by a control valve mounted on the front of the machine head. To close the valve, turn the control to the right. When the valve is completely closed, the frame will remain stationary, the desired position. To open the valve, turn the control left. Opening of the valve will control the descending speed of frame (or head) and does not control frame weight. This control is mainly used for cutting pipe or thin-walled tubing, structural, etc., to prevent plunging of the saw blade.
• Stock Stop Guide: Consisting of a stock stop assembly and a mounting bar installed in the tip-off block on front of the machine. The stop assembly can be moved along the bar to indicate correct length for duplicate cuts. Stock stop rod has a cap screw in the end for making fine adjustments. Rotate rod right to extend the rod into position in order measure stock and turn left to retract the rod before cutting.
• Vise: The vise can be positioned straight for a 90º cut or at any angle to cut at 45º. The vise swivel jaw adjusts automatically to any position of the stationary jaw.
• Vise Handwheel: Used to open and close the vise jaw, to do so the vise nut must be fully engaged. Turn the handwheel counterclockwise to open the vise and clockwise to close the vise.
• Vise Quick Release: Consists of the vise half-nut, vise lift, lift handle and a sliding hold-down block to which the swivel jaw is attached. To move the vise, lift on the lift handle toward the front of the machine to disengage the vise nut from the vise screw; this allows the swivel jaw to move freely. Move the lift handle towards the rear of the vise to engage the vise nut when clamping.

BLADE SELECTION
Saw blades should be selected by choosing the blade that will give the best results at the lowest cost. Type of material and the speed at which it must be sawed determine the choice. Listed below are general factors affecting blade selection.

1. Blade Type
   • Carbon Steel – Can be used to cut all types of ferrous, non-ferrous and composition materials except alloys containing high percentage of chrome and nickel. Limiting factor: low resistance to heat.
   • Bi-Metal – Designed for cutting ferrous metals in production cut-off applications. Developed to saw high alloy materials that cannot be cut economically by other means. Can be operated at higher speeds and greater feed pressures than carbon steel blades.
2. Tooth Style
   • Standard – Zero-degree rake angle and full round gullets. Best suited for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
   • Skip Tooth – Basically the same as standard except for more widely spaced teeth. Provides added chip room when cutting non-ferrous materials.
   • Hook Tooth – Similar to skip tooth except teeth have positive rake. Effective in sawing non-ferrous metals and large ferrous sections when heavy feed pressures are required.
3. Tooth Spacing
   • Tooth spacing is determined by hardness of material and/or the cross-section. The harder the material, the more teeth per inch. Thin cross-sections require more teeth to avoid straddle. Rule: at least 3 teeth in contact with work.
4. Tooth Set
   • Raker – Most widely used. Consists of a repeated pattern of one tooth set left, one right and one tooth straight. Recommended for production cutting where material is of uniform size, shape, and type.
   • Wavy – Has groups of teeth set alternately to the left and to the right forming a wave-like pattern. Used for cutting thin stock or where the work varies such as in pipe, angles, channels, and extrusions.

BLADE REMOVAL

1. Raise frame a few inches above the bed and close feed cylinder valve to hold frame up.
2. Remove the necessary guarding and blade cleaning brushes.
3. Turn blade tension screw counterclockwise and pull the idle wheel toward the center of the machine.
4. Push blade down, out of blade guides and remove blade from machine.

BLADE INSTALLATION

1. Raise frame a few inches above bed and close the feed cylinder valve to hold frame up.

2. Remove necessary guards and blade cleaning brushes.

3. Turn blade tension screw counterclockwise and pull idle wheel toward center of machine.

4. Grasp blade in center forming two loops. From rear of machine place blade loops under wheels and rest the near portion on right front blade guard. CAUTION: BE SURE TO WEAR GLOVES WHEN HANDLING BLADES.

5. Push blade up into blade guides.
   CAUTION: BE AWARE OF HYDRAULIC & COOLANT LINES.

6. Fit blade up against flanges of the idle and drive wheels and tighten tension screw enough to hold blade in place. Depress side of blade near rear blade guard to hold blade on wheels while tightening tension screw.

7. Check to see that the blade is positioned correctly and tighten screw. Consult blade manufacturer for proper PSI tension.

8. Install blade cleaning brushes and guards that were removed earlier.

BLADE TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
Saw blade should track on each wheel with the back of the blade up to, but not riding on the wheel flange. Adjust as follows:

• Idle Wheel

1. Open top cover on left end of machine to gain access to idle wheel. Idle wheel is mounted on a slide block, which contains the blade height adjustment screws.
2. To raise the blade, loosen the two screws toward center of machine (A, on right) one-half turn and tighten the other two screws (B) one-half turn. Be sure tension screw (C) is properly tightened to not over adjust.
3. Check by running machine after each adjustment.  

To lower blade, reverse procedure – loosen screws (B) and tighten screws (A).

• Drive Wheel

1. To raise the blade, loosen two cap screws (A, on right) and tighten screws (B and C). All four screws must be turned equally and in small increments (about ½ turn) to avoid over adjustment.
2. Check by running machine after each adjustment.  

To lower blade, reverse above procedure – loosen screws (B and C) and tighten screw (A).

BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
Note: The following instructions are for one guide arm; procedure is same for both arms. Left hand guide arm is shown to the right.

1. Loosen nut (A, on right) and turn eccentric axle (B) until there is no light gap between rollers and blade…do not pinch the blade. Tighten nut (A).
2. Vertical and radial adjustment is provided by the clearance in the guide mounting holes (C). This allows squaring of the blade to the bed and holding the blade in the natural blade line.
3. Proper guide adjustment may require adding or removing washer (shims) (D) for correct bearing height (E).

FRAME BALANCE SPRING ADJUSTMENT

• To check for proper balance spring adjustment, lift frame at by the handle with an extension type scale (fish scale). The frame should weigh 12-15 pounds; if not, adjust by turning the nut on the tension screw on bottom of spring.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Raise frame and close feed cylinder valve to hold frame in elevated position.
2. Loosen the vise nut and open the vise. Place work in vise and slide the vise swivel jaw against the work piece. Engage the vise nut and tighten the vise screw to clamp the work securely.
3. Slowly open feed cylinder valve and lower the frame until the blade is ½” to 1” away from the work. CAUTION: IF THE BLADE SHOULD REST UPON THE WORK BEFORE MOTOR IS STARED THE BLADE TEETH CAN BE DAMAGED. IF THE BLADE IS DROPPED ONTO THE WORK THE BLADE MIGHT BREAK. MAKE SURE THE BLADE IS PROPERLY BROKEN IN PRIOR TO CUTTING.
4. Move the adjustable guide arm as close as possible without contact to the work to provide maximum blade rigidity.
5. Check the blade tension, adjust if needed. Consult blade manufacturer for proper PSI tension.
6. Turn coolant valve on. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE WITHOUT SUFFICIENT COOLANT IN TANK. COOLANT MUST BE WATER-SOLUBLE. DO NOT USE OIL.
7. Check blade speed needed for material being cut. Refer to blade manufacturer for proper speeds for materials.
8. To change blade speed, loosen thumbscrew on right end of machine and raise the pulley guard. Move drive belt to proper grooves in both pulleys for desired blade speed (See figure below), then replace the guard.
9. Start motor.
10. Open feed cylinder valve to the proper setting. “Proper” setting depends upon type of material, hardness and thickness of stock and desired accuracy and finish. Soft materials require less feed than hard materials. Thin cross-sections require less feed than solid cross sections. Generally, reduced feed pressure will result in a straighter more accurate cut.

MAINTENANCE

FEED CYLINDER BLEEDING
Air trapped in the hydraulic cylinder can cause the down fed of the machine head to be erratic or “bouncy”. Before taking corrective steps observe CAUTION note.
CAUTION: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE HYDRAULIC TUBING CONNECTIONS BE LOOSENED OR DISCONNECTED WITH THE MACHINE HEAD IN THE UP POSITION.

1. Using AW32 hydraulic oil or equivalent, open the oil cup and fill to top with oil, then close.
2. With your finger over the oil cup lid raise the head of the machine then lower it.
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 until the oil cup is full.
