• In "MANUAL", the foot switch is disconnected and
standard operation is active.
• In the "CONTOUR" setting, the foot switch operates
the table in "FORWARD" or "REVERSE" settings of
the table feed control valve at controlled feed rates
set by the operator.
• The "PRODUCTION" setting operates the table at
controlled forward feed rate but with a fast table
return stroke.
3-Way Foot Switch.
3. The foot switch is connected to the machine by a
exible cable so that it can be located at operator's
convenience.
• Pressing the left pedal or "FORWARD" moves the
table forward when the table feed control valve is
in the "FEED" position.
• Pressing the right pedal or "REVERSE" will reverse
table direction when the table feed control valve is
in the "FEED" position.

FULL CYCLE OPTION
1. This factory installed option allows a full cycle
operation of the sawing sequence.
2. A selector switch on the control box with "MANUAL"
and "AUTOMATIC" setting determines the operating
mode. There is also a pilot light indicating that auto
cycle is running.
3. To operate: (a) Preset the band speed, feed rate
and cut depth and table return proximity switches;
(b) Position stock to be cut and clamp; (c) Push
BOTH Cycle Start buttons located on the left and
right sides of the table; (d) Table feeds through
the stock until it trips the proximity switch and then
returns to "HOME" position; (e) Saw band stops and
the operator can then relocate the stock for the next
cut.
OPTIONAL SAW GUIDE BLOCKS
(Continued....)
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.
FOOT SWITCH (3-Way)
1. Many sawing operations are made easier by using
a table feed foot control. The foot switch has
"FORWARD", "REVERSE" and "STOP" positions
and a selector switch mounted on the control box
above the standard controls with "MANUAL",
"PRODUCTION" and "CONTOUR" settings.
2. The selector switch enables the operator to select
the table feed mode best suited for the job.
