10.2 Coolant flow
The coolant pump must be
submerged before operating to prevent damage
to pump.
1. The blade guides are fitted with coolant fittings.
Coolant is provided to the fittings through
interconnecting tubing. The coolant is
dispensed directly onto the saw blade.
2. Adjust the coolant flow valves on the top, rear
of the saw head as required to provide the
desired flow. The flow should be no more than
the blade can draw into the workpiece by
movement of the blade.
3. The coolant flow can be stopped in two ways:
1) By using the coolant pump switch on the
control panel, or
2) By closing the coolant flow valves on the top,
rear of the saw head.
10.3 Coolant mixture and quantity
The general purpose coolant is a mixture of water
soluble oil and water. Mix one part of soluble oil
(TRIM SOL) to ten parts of water (one quart oil, ten
quarts of water). The eleven quarts of coolant is the
amount required for the coolant pump to operate
properly.
There are numerous coolants on the market that are
formulated for special applications. Consult your
local distributor for details in the event you have a
long range production task, or are required to cut
some of the more exotic materials.
10.4 Controls
The operating controls for the saw are provided in a
control panel on the left side of the machine. The
control panel is mounted on a pivoting tube. The
pivoting tube allows the operator to position the
control panel in a convenient location.
Figure 14: control panel
The upper row of controls includes the following:
• Power On light indicates when power is
connected to the machine.
• Saw Head Up pushbutton raises the head.
• Saw Head Down pushbutton lowers head
onto workpiece.
The center row of controls includes the following:
• Start pushbutton is used to start saw blade
drive motor and hydraulic pump motor. The
hydraulic pump provides the hydraulic
pressure required to raise and lower the saw
head.
• Feed Rate control is used to set the rate at
which the blade feeds through workpiece.
The bottom row of controls includes the following:
• Stop pushbutton is used to stop saw blade
drive motor.
• Emergency stop pushbutton is used to
quickly disconnect electrical power to
machine.
• Coolant On/Off selector switch is used to start
and stop coolant pump motor.
10.5 Other controls
Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for location of the following
controls:
• Drive motor speed control: used to set drive
motor speed in meters per minute.
