CUTTING FEED RATE/ SAW ARM TENSION
A hydraulic cylinder allows adjustments to the downfeed speed of the arm to control cutting speed.
Note: The valve must to be open in order to adjust the cutting feed rate.
- Turn the knob A clockwise to increase the cutting
feed rate.
- Turn the knob A counterclockwise to reduce the
cutting feed rate.
Note: Forcing the blade into the workpiece increases
the risk of blade breakage and can affect the quality
of the cut (burrs, chips, etc.).
A tension spring helps lift the arm into the the vertical
position and slows down its descent. If too little tension
makes it difficult to raise the arm, proceed as follow:
1. Loosen the jam nut B and tighten bolt C a few turns.
2. Repeat as needed until desired tension is achieved
and then retighten the jam nut B.
Note: for less tension, loosen bolt C.

MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORM-
ING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.
The switch D allows you to turn on or turn off the pump
of the coolant system. You can also stop the flow of the
liquid coolant by closing the tap E.
Make sure that the level of liquid coolant in the tank
located under the work table is between 3 liters (mini-
mum) and 5 liters (maximum).
Don’t start the pump during vertical cuts.
Note: To reduce the risk of blade breakage and ob-
tain cleaner cuts, it is recommended to turn on the
pump systematically when using the machine, ex-
cep for the vertical cuts.
