OPTIONAL SAW GUIDE BLOCKS
(Continued....)
90° Saw Guide Brackets.
2. When these brackets are used, be sure to: (a) Install
the correct size saw guides; (b) Install the saw band
so that it is twisted 90°; when it passes through the
saw guide inserts; (c) Operate the machine at band
speeds under 1500 fpm (450 m/min).
ADJUSTABLE ANGLE SAW GUIDES
1. These saw guides allows the operator to rotate the
saw band a set angle of 45° and 90° from the regular
operating position.
Adjustable Angle Saw Guides.
2. To adjust: (a) Pull the spring plunger out until it
disengages; (b) Turn the housing to the right until it
reaches the 45° preset stop until the spring plunger
snaps back into place: (c) Turn further to the right,
it will snap to the 90° preset stop. (d) Operate the
machine at band speeds under 1500 fpm (450m/
min).
Type II Roller Saw Guides.
2. Roller saw guides are adjusted as follows:
• Select the rollers which match the width of saw band
to be used. Next: (a) Place one (1) back-up roller
(has a rear ange) and one (1) side roller in upper
guide block; (b) Place one (1) back-up roller and
one (1) side roller in the lower saw guide block in
opposite position of the upper guide; (c) Attach the
upper roller guide to the post and the lower roller
guide to the keeper block.
• Place the saw band over the upper and lower
bandwheels. Next: (a) Adjust the saw band tension;
(b) Loosen the roller lock screw; (c) Bring the
rollers toward the saw band by turning the eccentric
bearing shaft with a screwdriver. The rollers should
be just free enough to turn without moving the saw
band.
The bearings will overheat if the rollers are
too tight against the saw band. Conversely,
rollers that are too loose may cause the saw
band to wobble and affect cutting accuracy.
• Tighten the roller lock screws to prevent the
eccentric shaft from turning and changing the roller
adjustment.
90° SAW GUIDE BRACKETS
1. These brackets permit cutting materials longer than
the machine's regular throat capacity. Install the
upper and lower brackets as shown. Then the saw
guide blocks are mounted to the brackets.
