SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Know your machine, its safe and proper use! DISCONNECT POWER before adjusting or servicing the saw or changing a blade. FOR ALL TOOLS STAY CLEAR of all moving parts. Keep hands and fingers away form the saw blade. KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in working order. WHEN MOVING SAW, with hinged frame (saw head), secure the head in its down position. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit. Check to see that all keys and wrenches are removed from the tool before turning the tool on.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. The work area should be neat, well lighted, properly ventilated and free of pedestrian or vehicle traffic. Ample room is needed for stock handling and storage, the floors must be free of slipping or tripping hazards as many machines have exposed tooling that can be fallen on.
Operation & Maintenance READ CAREFULLY The MODEL 58B METAL CUTTING BAND SAW is designed for efficient performance. With proper care, it will give you many years of dependable service. READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NEW SAW. After final assembly, each saw is inspected and tested. No adjustment should be needed. This manual has been prepared to assist you in the operation and maintenance of your new saw.
DASH POT MAINTENANCE Wellsaws are equipped with a dash pot (frame check) to stabilize the downward travel of the saw frame to protect the saw blade from damage. The action is hydraulic. The flow of fluid being bypassed through an orifice controls the downward stroke of the saw frame. Fill the dash pot to within 1” of top of the bottom of cylinder with Cities Service “Amplex 05” Hydraulic Oil or equivalent.
BLADE BRUSHES Blade brushes should be cleaned frequently with kerosene or a good solvent. To take advantage of both rows of bristles, invert blade brushes and install them on the opposite side of the blade. For best results, replace worn, filled or sticky brushes. When bolting brushes to the mounting angles, be sure wire bristles are turned in the same direction that the blade travels. BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENT 1.
