BREAKING-IN THE BLADE
When a new saw blade is used, be sure to first break in the blade before using it for actual, extended
operation. Failure to break in the blade will result in less than optimum efficiency. To perform this
break-in operation, the following instructions should be followed:
Step 1 - Reduce the blade speed to one-half of its normal setting.
Step 2 - Lengthen the cutting time to 2-3 times of what is normally required.
Step 3 - After the break-in operation is completed, set all parameters back to normal settings.
CUTTING OPERATION
Step 1 – Check before you cut
y
Power: Check the voltage and frequency of your power source.
y
Coolant: Check if you have sufficient coolant in the tank.
y
Hydraulic: Check if you have sufficient (at least two-thirds or higher) hydraulic oil.
y Blade: Check the blade teeth and make sure there is no worn out teeth along the blade.
y
Saw bow: Check the saw bow to see if it can be elevated and lowered smoothly.
Step 2 – Place your workpiece onto the workbed manually or by using a lifting tool e.g. a crane.
Before loading, make sure the vises are opened to at least wider than the width of the
workpiece.
Step 3 – Position your workpiece.
Step 4 – Clamp the workpiece.
Step 5 – Adjust blade descend speed control knob to obtain a suitable blade descend speed for your
material.
Step 6 – Start running the blade.
Before you start cutting, check again that there is no other object in the cutting area.
Step 7 – While the blade descends, adjust the blade speed if necessary. Please refer to Adjusting
Blade Speed.
Step 8 – Select the proper cutting condition according to different material.
Step 9 – After the entire cutting job is completed, MS1318M will stay at lower limit position and
MS1318SA will go up to the upper limit position. Open the vises to remove the workpiece.
Step 10 – Clean the workbed by removing chips and cutting fluids.
Step 11 – Lower the saw bow to a proper position then turn off the power.
