HYDRAULICSYSTEM
1. The hydraulic and band drive systems operate
independently.Thisallowstheoperatortoperform
following tasks while the banddrive motor is not
running: (a) change saw bands; (b)raise or lower
the saw head; (c) clamp or unclamp vises; (d)
positionstockmanually.

manualforrecommendedoils.
COOLANTSYSTEM
Coolantselection
1. The main cause of tooth failure during band
machining is excessive heat built‐up. Using the
