CUTTING FLUID
The S-23A uses a pump and reservoir to circulate the necessary cutting fluid to the blade for maximum blade
life. Your saw blade supplier will be able to provide information to the cutting fluid products that are available for
your needs. No cutting fluid (coolant) is supplied with the machine. There are two types of coolant available:
- oil based; dilute 1:10 ratio ( one part concentrated coolant to 10 parts water)
- synthetic; dilute as recommended by manufacturer.
LEVELLING THE SAW
Use a machinist's level across the vise table to level the
saw. Adjust the level with the levelling bolts supplied.
Consideration should be given to the flow of the coolant as
it returns to the coolant trough at the vise end of the saw.
Levelling to give a small incline towards this area helps to
ensure the coolant supply returns to the container.
HYDRAULIC OIL and TANK
The S-23A is supplied with a Texaco 46 hydraulic oil
in the oil tank. Substitutes should be a 46 grade of
hydraulic oil. See Section 3 for instructions on changing
brands of oil. The oil tank should be topped up to the
top line on the gauge . The oil pressure gauge indicates
system pressure.
SPEED ADJUSTOR INSTALLATION
The speed adjustor is packaged seperately for shipping purposes and must be installed prior to connecting the
power supply. Failure to do so will cause a safety hazard. Refer to page 74 for installation instructions.
