FORWARD The Model 1318SA Wellsaws have been designed and manufactured to conform to Wellsaw’s recognized high standards of quality and performance. Each saw must pass a series of final inspection tests, including actual metal cutting operations, before it is shipped. For this saw to provide satisfactory service, it is necessary that it be properly installed, operated and maintained. This manual has been prepared to assist you in carrying out these functions.
Wellsaw SemiͲAutomatic Bandsaw SetͲup and Operation Items needed: 1. Electrical power 2. 7 gallons of water 3. Compressed air, 5 CFM @ 100 PSI 4. Air tool oil for air lubricator. Prior to startͲup Warning! Do not lift saw frame with your hand! Saw frame is raised with a powered system. 1. The saw should be placed on a level surface. This insures correct coolant flow. Leveling pads should be used if needed. 2. Have qualified electrician make the electrical connections. 3.
WARNING - Misuse of this machine can cause serious injury. - For safety, machine must be set up, used and serviced properly. - Read, understand and follow instructions in the operator’s and parts manual. When setting up machine: - Always avoid using machine in damp or poorly lighted work areas. - Always be sure machine is securely anchored to the floor. - Always keep machine guards in place. - Always put start switch in “OFF” position before plugging in machine.
General Electrical Cautions This saw should be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. This work should be done by a qualified electrician. The saw should be grounded to protect the user from electrical shock. 19. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Notes on Sawing Trouble Shooting It is widely recognized that a proficient operator is a key to optimum bandsawing. He makes certain the machine is properly maintained and adjusted for dependable operation. He carefully sets up each cutting job to prevent damage to the machine and obtain the best performance from the equipment. Premature Dulling of Blade Teeth 1. Feed rate too high or low. Check recommendation. 2. Blade speed too slow or too fast. 3. Faulty material; heavy scale, hard spots, etc. 4.
Premature Blade Breakage 6. Blade guides loose, worn or out of alignment. 7. Too many teeth-per-inch. Blade not cutting freely. 8. Chip brush not cleaning teeth properly. 9. Dirty coolant. 10. Check for loose fasteners. 1. Poor weld in the blade. 2. Feed rate set too high. Reduce it. 3. Excessive blade speed. Adjust it. 4. Blade guides set too tight or misaligned. 5. Blade tension set too high. 6. Blade running against flange on wheels. Adjust wheel pitch. Rough Cut / Poor Finish Blade Squeal 1.
increase speed or counter-clockwise to decrease speed. Do not adjust the speed unless the pulley system is in operation (spinning). The handwheel drag is set at the factory during assembly. This drag prevents handwheel “creep” during operation but still permits easy adjustment. Due to normal wear and environment, the drag setting may change. To readjust, tighten set screw in thrust nut.
of adjustment needed in the Horizontal Adjusting Block. The Idle End adjusting block is more likely to require adjustment. Blade Brush The brush should be cleaned frequently in kerosene and reversed to extend effectiveness. For efficient cutting and blade life, keep blade brush adjusted so it has contact with the blade teeth at all times. Replace it as needed. 4. Blade Tilt.
Maintenance Hydraulic Cylinder Caution: Disconnect the electrical supply and press emergency STOP button before performing any maintenance. DO NOT service the Frame Hydraulic Cylinder or Down Feed Valve unless the frame is in the DOWN position or resting on a mechanical stop, such as a block of wood. 1. Inspect annually. Fill to top of plug. Drain and replace every 5 years (10,000 hours). 2. Fill with Mobil Velocite Oil #6 or equivalent. 3. Viscosity at 100°F: SUS 57-61. 4. Military Specification: None.
MACHINE OPERATION 1. Raise the frame and lock it into place by turning the manual flow control valve clockwise (CW) until it stops. 2. Adjust material you plan to saw to the desired cut off length. Turn vise screw handle clockwise (CW) to tighten. Always be sure the material is properly secure before cutting. 3. Push the blade START button to start the machine. NOTE: If the coolant selector switch is in the ON position, the coolant pump will turn on with the motor.
Instructions toyBleed Hydraulic System y Wellsaw models: 1118SA, 1318ͲSA, 1316SͲSA, Also saws with Powered Frame Lift Option Ͳ Air can enter the system through a leak or if the system is run with low oil level. Also, if the saw head is lifted manually air can enter the system. Air will accumulate under the lifting piston and can be bled at the fitting at the bottom of the lifting cylinder with the piston at the bottom of its stroke. This procedure is done with two technicians.
