SAW CUTTING CONTROLS
This section has been prepared to give the operator the ability to set up the saw for most cutting situa tions. The saw is
equipped with variable blade speed control and hydraulic feed control, as well as an extensive door chart to guide the
operator to the correct setting of these controls.
HYDRAULIC FEED CONTROL
The hydraulic feed controls are located on top of the control console and consist of the Feed Force Setting knob, the Feed
Rate knob and the Head Fast Approach lever. These controls allow the operator to independently control both the Feed
Force and the Feed Rate; two essential settings which are required for an optional cut.
