Preliminary check list for cutting operation
To guarantee complete safety during cutting cycles, the operator should work
through a check l ist of the entire apparatus, checking:
" blade tension;
" that the blade guide head bracket is locked in the correct position;
" that the cutting angle is correct and the cutting head is locked;
" that the work piece is properly clamped in place;
" that the blade teeth are correct for the job to be begun;
" that the speed selected is right for the kind of piece to be cut;
" that all protections are in place and correctly locked;
" the level of lubricant/coolant and that the electropump is activated;
" That the blade descent speed is correct.
Semi--automatic operating cycle
Semi---automatic cutting sequence:
" power up the machine by turning the main switch;
" position the workpiece in the vice.
During this programming phase of the cycle, do not position the workpiece per-
pendicular to the blade so that the head may be moved up and down without
colliding with the workpiece.
" Select semi---automatic mode by pressing the corresponding button on the
control console.
