LEVELLING THE V18
It is important that the V18 be levelled and provision is made to secure the saw with concrete anchors to the oor.
* See foundation plan below *
Using a machinist’s level, level the saw from side to side and from front to back. When any additional conveyor(s) are be-
ing attached to the machine, they must be aligned to the table of the machine properly.
HYDRAULIC OIL
The V18 bandsaw is supplied with Texaco Rando HD46 oil. If it is necessary to change the oil to a dierent brand it is
good practice to empty the hydraulic tank using a pump. Fill the hydraulic tank approximately 1/3 full with the new brand
of oil and operate the saw through several cycles with maximum cylinder extension. Drain the hydraulic tank again and
then rell to capacity with the new brand.
CUTTING FLUID
As the V18 operates with an open reservoir to contain the cutting uid, no cutting uid can be shipped with the saw. There
are two main types of cutting uids available, oil based and synthetic. For oil based uids the dilution ratio is 1:10. One
part concentrate to ten parts water. For synthetic cutting uids dilution, if required, should be done to the specications as
recommended by the manufacturer.
