COOLANT FLOW
A generous ow of coolant should be applied in order to increase
production and blade life. The machine is provided with a switch on
the control panel as well as two independently controlled coolant
spouts. One is on the adjustable guide arm, this one should always
ood the blade with coolant. Slight adjustment may be required
when changing the blade speed. A properly adjusted ow of coolant
should cover the blade which in turn will carry it into the cutting area.
The ow adjusting tap is shown below. The second is mounted on
the fence for the coolant hose which should be used in cases when
cutting solid bars, bundles or wide structurals. The ow of coolant
should be directed into the opening created by the blade.
NOTE: When cutting materials that do not need coolant (cast iron)
some coolant ow is required to provide blade lubrication to prevent
blade scoring by carbides

HEAD UP AND DOWN LIMIT SETTING
Head Up Limit: In order to maximize production in the automatic cycle the Head Up Limit should be set to just clear the
height of the material.
Head Down Limit: This limit is factory set and under ordinary cutting requirements should not be changed. If changed, it
may cause the machine to malfunction in the automatic cycle.
