7.0 Set-Up and Assembly Tools required for assembly: 12mm wrench 3, 4, and 6mm hex keys 7.1 Unpacking and cleanup Inspect contents of shipping container for shipping damage. Report any damage to your distributor. Remove all contents from carton, and compare to the contents list in this manual. Report any part shortages to your distributor. Do not discard carton or packing material until machine is assembled and running satisfactorily. Exposed metal areas have a rust preventative applied.
Figure 4 4. Use properly rated lifting equipment (hoist or forklift) with straps placed beneath cast iron portion of saw. 5. Band Saw should be disconnected from electrical power during assembly and setup. Position saw atop base and secure with four screws and washers (HP-1/6/7). 6. Install work stop assembly (A/B/C) into hole on saw base. 1. Assemble base parts (J,K) according to Figure 4. 7. Install handle (G), and place filter screen (D) over coolant drain hole in pan. 2.
7.4 Vertical cutting plate These steps are only necessary when using band saw in vertical position. 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Open valve on hydraulic cylinder (lever parallel to cylinder) and raise bow to vertical position. 3. Remove two screws and remove seat plate, as shown in Figure 5. Figure 7 Figure 5 4. Guide blade through slot in vertical cutting plate (F, Figure 5), and tighten with the two screws. 5.
7.6 Coolant system Local codes take precedence over recommendations. Make sure there is coolant in the tank before operating, to prevent damage to pump. 8.1 Grounding instructions 1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools: Use of a water-soluble coolant will increase cutting efficiency and prolong blade life. Do not use black cutting oil as a substitute. 1. Remove coolant return hose (A, Figure 10) from filter cup, and slide tank out of saw base. 2. Fill tank to approximately 80% of capacity.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in D, Figure 11. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in D. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this tool.
9.0 Adjustments The settings on your band saw, such as blade squareness and tracking, were carefully performed by the manufacturer. You should, however, verify these before operating, in case misalignment has occurred during shipping. 9.1 Squaring blade to table 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Place machinist’s square (A, Figure 14) on table and against blade. 3. Check to see that blade contacts the square along entire width of blade. 4.
9.4 Miter cuts 1. Loosen handle (G, Figure 17). 2. Rotate bow to desired angle up to 45-degrees, using scale indicator on front of base. 3. Tighten handle. Figure 18 9.6 Counterbalance spring The counterbalance spring helps control the amount of weight the saw bow puts on the workpiece when the hydraulic control valve is fully open. The hydraulic cylinder will not compensate for improper counterbalance.
2. Raise bow to vertical position, and secure in place by turning off hydraulic cylinder. 3. Remove red blade guard (A, Figure 19) by removing two screws. 11. Close back cover and secure with knobs. 12. Install red blade guard, and brush assembly. 13. Connect machine to power source. 14. Run machine to verify that blade is tracking properly. See section 9.9, Blade tracking. Red blade guard must be reinstalled after new blade is fitted. 9.
Blade tracking has been tested at the factory. Adjustment is rarely required when the blade is used properly and if the blade is correctly welded. If a tracking problem occurs, first inspect blade condition, then adjust tracking as follows: accurate, quieter cutting and longer machine and blade life. 9. When the paper is cut, back off the set screw slightly. This assures that the blade is not touching the flange of the wheel. 1.
9.11 Setting blade speed 1. Turn machine OFF. 2. Turn lever (Figure 23) to desired setting: turn freely with this clearance. If the clearance is incorrect, the blade may track off the drive wheel. #1 – 145 sfpm #2 – 200 sfpm #3 – 245 sfpm 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Raise bow to vertical and secure in place by turning off hydraulic cylinder. 3.
9.14 Limit switch 11.0 Operation The stop screw (F, Figure 27) activates a limit switch to shut off the saw when it reaches down position. 11.1 Pre-Operation inspection Give machine an overall inspection and verify the following: The stop screw has been set at the factory. If future adjustment is needed, loosen the hex nut and rotate the screw, then retighten the hex nut. Figure 27 1. Guards and covers are in place and in working order. 2. Blade tooth direction matches diagram on bow. 3.
2. Place workpiece in vise and tighten vise. The workpiece should be fitted directly between the jaws without adding other objects. If chips formed are curled, but colored — that is, either blue or straw-colored from heat generated during the cut — then the feed rate is too high. When workpiece to be cut is a profiled section, flat piece or special shape, refer to examples in Figure 29 for proper clamping positions.
12.1 Coolant level Maintain coolant level. Low coolant level can cause foaming and high blade temperatures. Replace dirty coolant; dirty or weak coolant can clog the pump, cause crooked cuts, a low cutting rate and/or permanent blade damage. To fill the tank, remove the filter cup and pour coolant into the hole to about 80% of full capacity. Full capacity is 9 liters (2.5 gal). Follow coolant manufacturer’s instructions for proper use and disposal. 2. Place bow in vertical position. 3.
Trouble Probable Cause Remedy Cuts not square. Feed pressure too great. Decrease feed pressure. 90° angle stop is not set correctly. Adjust stop until blade is square with vise. Incorrect blade toothing in relation to workpiece. Check Machinery’s Handbook for recommended blade type. Blade is worn, cutting crooked. Replace blade. Incorrect adjustment of bearing guides and guide assembly. Re-adjust guide assemblies. Workpiece incorrectly positioned in vise.
