MECHANICAL CONTROLS
Chip Auger Throttle
A throttle valve is provided to permit regulation of chip auger speed. Speed should be between 7 to 10 rpm. Speeds below
5 rpm may result in stalling of the auger. Never adjust the auger speed with the auger running. Always turn the hydraulic
pump off before adjusting auger speed, because the auger starts automatically with the head feed.
Coolant Controls
The main coolant control is found on the control panel.
If the optional Mist Coolant Option is supplied the Flood/Mist push button determines which system is active.
Flood Coolant – the pump output is directed to four outlets:
• The wash gun is provided for clearing chip accumulations down into the chip auger.
• Each of the other three outlets has a 90-degree ow control shut-off valve.
• The guide arm outlets should be adjusted to apply an even covering of coolant to the blade. When cutting wide
work pieces the exible nozzle should be used to direct extra coolant into the saw kerf at about mid span of the
cut.
Mist Coolant (Optional) – the air powered pump delivers a regulated number of pulses of lubricant to a single applicator
nozzle.
The unit has two control screws:
• Pulse / Minute – adjusts the rate of lubricant use. About 8 to 12 pulses per minute is optimum – more is not better.
• Air Screw – regulates the jet of air that projects the lubricant from the nozzle onto the blade. Adjustment should be
such that lubricant covers the blade without blowing the mist beyond the back edge of the blade.
