7.8 Material stop
Refer to Figure 7-10.
The material stop is generally used when cutting
multiple pieces to the same length. Position stop
block (H) desired distance away from blade and
tighten knob.
If closer reach is needed over table, insert small rod
and upper knob (J).

7.9 Coolant flow
Coolant pump must be
submerged before operating to prevent damage
to pump.
The blade guides are fitted with coolant valves.
Coolant is provided to the fittings through
interconnecting tubing, and is dispensed directly
onto saw blade.
Adjust coolant flow valves to provide desired flow.
The flow should be no more than blade can draw
into the workpiece by its movement through the
material.
The coolant flow can be stopped in two ways: Turn
off coolant pump switch on control panel, or close
coolant flow valves.
8.0 Control panel
Refer to Figure 8-1.
Figure 8-1: control panel
Feed rate control (A) – Sets amount of downward
force that is applied to saw blade. The feed rate is
proportional to opening of valve. Increasing valve
opening (counterclockwise) increases feed rate;
decreasing valve opening (clockwise) reduces feed
rate. When set to zero, bow is locked in raised
position.
Start button (B) – Press to start main motor/blade.
Stop button (C) – Press to stop main motor/blade.
Coolant will still flow.
Bow movement (D) – Raises or lowers bow.
Coolant switch (E) – Turn arrow to “I” to turn on
coolant flow. Turn arrow to “O” to stop coolant flow.
Power indicator light (F) – illuminates whenever
machine is operating.
If bulb is out, light will not be
on but machine may still have power.
Manual/auto selector (G) – Choice of manual or
automatic bow movement.
Vise close (H) – Press and hold to clamp workpiece
in vise. Vise will stop when pressure reaches
10kg/cm

.
Vise open (I) – Press and hold to release
workpiece.
LED readout (J) – Identifies blade speed in surface
feet per minute.
Blade speed selector (K) – Clockwise increases
speed.
Emergency stop button (L) – Press to immediately
stop all machine functions. To restart machine,
rotate button clockwise until it disengages.
9.0 Operation
9.1 Automatic shut-off
9.1.1 Cut completion
Limit switches (A, Figure 9-1) control bow
movement. Saw must automatically shut off when
cut is completed. The switches are pre-set by the
manufacturer, but can be adjusted if needed.
