HEAD SWING and BRAKE
An integral function of the S-23P is the ability to make mitred
cuts at angles between 90
O
and 45
O
. The Head swing of the S-
23P is easily changed to set a different cutting angle by first
releasing the Angle Brake lever, and then manually moving the
Head to the cutting angle desired. An angle scale with a pointer in
clear view of the saw operator allows for accurate setting of the
cutting angle.
The Angle Brake lever is then locked in position by forcing it
into the down position. It should be noted that the angle brake
should be locked into position whenever cutting with the saw. The
photograph illustrates the Angle Brake in the locked position at
88
O
. To set the saw to the 90
O
position, the Head (in the fully
down position) is moved until the frame meets the 90
O
stop bolt
which is located on the vise post.
HEAD UP LIMIT SETTING
The Head Up limit setting allows the operator to set the height that the Head
will ascend to after a cut is completed. By adjusting this limit the operator can
reduce cycle time as the Head does not need to fully ascend between cuts. The
Head Up adjustment lever is located on the rear side of the head below the
gear box as shown below. Raising the lever will shorten the distance the head
will move. Lowering the lever all the way down will allow the head to travel to it's
full height.
