(5).RE-CHECK blade tension after initial cut with a new blade.
(6).TO RPOLONG BLADELIFEALWAYS releases blade tension at the end of each work day.
4
(7).CHECK COOLANT DAILY. Low coolant level can cause foaming and high blade temperatures. Dirty
or week coolant can clog pump, cause crooked. Cust, low cutting rate and permanent blade failure. Dirty
coolant can cause the growth of bacteria with ensuing skin irritation.
(8).WHEN CUTTING MAGNESIUM NEVER use soluble oils or emulsions (oil water mix) as water will
greatly intensify any accidental magnesium chip fire. See your industrial coolant supplier for specific
coolant recommendations when cutting magnesium.
(9). TO PRNMT corrosion of machined surfaces when a soluble on is used as coolant pay particular
attention to wiping dry the surfaces where a soluble on is used as coolant, pay particular attention to
wiping dry the surfaces where fluid accumulates and does not evaporate quickly, such as between the
machine bed and vise.

3. 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. The material size and shape dictate tooth
selection.
5
TOOTH SELECTION
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.
6
Burned heavy chips-reduce feed rate and/or band speed.
Curly silvery and warm chips-optimum feed rate and band speed.
Electrical connections
Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury
Disconnect machine from power source before changing any voltage components !
Confirm that power available at the saw’s location matches that for which the saw is wired. Refer to the
electrical wiring diagram supplied with your machine for instructions on how to connect saw to power
source.

motor and coolant pimp.
7. If the motor stops before the cut is completed or continues to run after the cut is completed, the limits
switch (D) Fig.3. Can be adjusted up or down by loosening the two screws.
NOTE:
There is an interlock switch on pulley cover; the machine
will Fig.7
stop when the cover is opened. Do not remove this switch
for any reason, and inspect its function frequently.
8
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. inch (psi). For car-bon
blades (similar to the one supplied with the machine) the
blade should be tensioned at 20, 000 psi. For bi-metal Fig.8
blades, the blade should be at 30,000 psi. Always release
blade tension at the end of each work day to prolong blade
life.
10
5. Pivot the right vise jaw (C) all the way to the left as shown
in Fig.15, and lock spring loaded clamp handle. (D)
6. Using a combination square (E), place one end of the
square the vise jaw and the other end against the blade,
as shown in Fig.15. And check to see if the vise jaw is at
45 degrees to the blade.
Coolant
The use of proper cutting fluid is essential to obtain maximum
Fig.15
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. The rate of coolant flow is controlled by the stop
valve lever (B) Fig.16 which directs the coolant onto the blade
at (C). The lever (B) is shown in the off position.
Fig.16
Adjusting stock advance stop
The stock advance stop is used mainly when more than one
piece of work is to be cut to the same length. Simply position
the stop (A) Fig.17 the desired distance away from the blade.
The stop may be repositioned by loosening lock screw (B)
and moving the rod (C) in or out accord-ingly. Then tighten
lock screw (&). Fine adjustment to the stop can be made by
loosening nut (D) and turning stop screw (A). To move the
stop (A) out of the way, loosen set screw (E) and move arm
(F) to the down position.

6. Release blade tension by turning the blade tension hand
wheel (C) Fig.21 counterclockwise.
7. Remove the blade from both wheels and out of each blade
guide.
8. Make sure the teeth of the new blade are pointing in the
right direction. If necessary, turn the blade inside out.
9. Place the new blade on the wheels, in the blade guides
Fig.22
and adjust blade tension and blade guides.
Gear box
The gear box should be drained and refilled after the 50
hours of use and thereafter every 5 months, with mobile
synthetic gear oil, SHC-636, ISO viscosity grade 680. This oil
