7.9.2 Angle cutting
19mm wrench required
1. Loosen both bolts on right/fixed jaw (M
1
) and
swing jaw to desired angle, according to scale
at rear of bed. For more precise angles, use a
protractor. Tighten bolts.
2. Position workpiece against right jaw.
3. Make sure bolts on left/floating vise (M
2
) are
loosened. Use handwheel to push vise against
workpiece until it conforms to workpiece angle.
Tighten bolts.
4. To expand clamping capacity, remove fixed jaw
from inner holes and install it in outer holes.
7.10 Work stop adjustment
The work stop assembly (Figure 7-7) allows multiple
pieces to be cut to identical length.

7.11 Limit switch adjustment
The limit switch has been set so that the motor shuts
off immediately after blade has cut through the
material and just before the head comes to rest.
Adjustment is needed if blade continues to run after
completion of cut, or blade shuts off before
completion of cut. Loosen jam nut and turn stop
screw (V, Figure 7-6) as required. Retighten jam nut.
8.0 Operating controls
Refer to Figure 8-1.
Power indicator light (A) – Illuminates when
machine is receiving electrical power.
Blade start (B) – Press to start blade movement.
Emergency stop (C) – Press to instantly stop all
electrical functions (bow will continue its descent).
To restart machine, rotate E-stop button clockwise
until it releases.
Coolant switch (D) – Turn knob to “I” to start
coolant flow. Turn to “O” to stop coolant flow. Flow
can be regulated by the two valves behind the slide.
Feed rate control (E) – Sets speed of bow descent,
i.e. amount of downward force that is applied to
workpiece. The feed rate is proportional to the
opening of the valve; turn knob counterclockwise to
increase feed rate; clockwise to reduce feed rate.
