1. BEFORE POWERING THE SAW, CHECK THE OIL LEVEL IN THE RESERVOIR (A). It
should be approximately 2-1/2 inches below the top of the reservoir when the saw head is in the
UP position. Over filling the reservoir will cause hydraulic oil to be forced into the air system.
Use a SAE 10W (ISO 32) non-foaming hydraulic oil, such as Mobil DTE 10 or equivalent
2. Slide the shuttle valve (C) to its CLOSED position and connect the air supply.
3. Slide the shuttle valve to its OPEN position and shut the flow control valve (B) off. Then, open it
one turn.
4. The down feed rate is adjusted using the flow control valve (B). The down feed rate should be set
during the set up of an operation while the AUTOMATIC/MANUAL switch is in the MANUAL
position. The setting of the down feed rate is done by sound. Slowly adjust the rate as the saw
makes a cut. Once the blade starts to chatter or the saw starts to load up, back the rate off by 1/4
of a turn. Many things, including the type of material being cut, the blade RPM and the condition
of the blade, will affect the down feed rate.
6.5 MATERIAL CLAMPING
Page 37
CAUTION: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE REMOVING THE
FILLER PLUG FROM THE RESERVOIR. IF THE FILLER PLUG IS REMOVED
WHILE THE MACHINE IS CONNECTED TO AIR PRESSURE, THE FLUID IN THE
TANK WILL BE PURGED THROUGH THE OPENING UNDER PRESSURE.
All work pieces must be clamped securely in the vise. Any slippage of the material can result in broken or
damaged blades. The material should be clamped so that the contact surface between the material and
the blade is as small as possible. For this reason, when cutting flat stock material, we recommend
standing it up and cutting it through the thinnest section, whenever possible. We also recommend cutting
square tubing through the diagonal section and angle iron with the web up. FOR EXAMPLES, SEE
FIGURE 25 ON PAGE 35. Some thin walled round sections and profiles will require special jaws to hold
them.
