Remove Transportation Strap
The Arm is secured for transportation
purposes with a metal strap, shown in Fig.
4. Remove the two bolts, arrowed, and
retain both the strap and bolts.
Prepare the Coolant Tank
Pull out Coolant Tank from the rear. Lift
off the lid and fill with Clarke Cutting Oil,
(see page 2), or Coolant (soluble oil),
mixed according to the manufacturers
recommendations. Do not allow to run
dry. Ensure the coolant is clean and
always of the correct consistency.
Change coolant frequently to preserve
the machines efficiency and prolong
blade life.
Overview
The machine comprises a 1 HP Motor which drives the blade via drive belts and pulleys,
allowing blade speeds to be selected, depending upon the type of material being cut.
The workpiece is held in a Vice which may be swivelled to provide accurate angle
cutting, and a work stop provides for stock pieces of equal length to be cut without
having to measure each piece individually.
Downwards pressure exerted by the blade is adjustable, via an hydraulic ram
acting on the Arm, and a coolant pump delivers coolant to the cutting area to
cool the blade, maximising blade life. The machine will stop automatically once
the cutting operation is complete.
Raising and Lowering the Arm
The hydraulic ram and other fittings, used to control the lowering of the Arm are
shown in Fig. 3a at A and B.
To RAISE the Arm, Using the handle adjacent to the Blade Tension Adjuster Knob,
lift the Arm so that it pivots to the vertical position, where it will remain.
To LOWER the Arm, first turn Knob ‘A’ Fig. 3a Fully clockwise, then turn the lever ‘B’ so
that it is at 6 o’clock, i.e. fully open.
