CUTTING AND BLADE TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEMS
1) Saw is cutting out of square.
2) Blade comes o󰀨 wheels.
3) Blade stalls while
cutting.
4) Blade vibrates
excessively.
5) Excessive blade
breakage.
6) Tooth strippage.
7) No coolant ow.
SOLUTION
1a) Change the blade and check alignment
with new blade.
1b) Replace the worn guide or adjust the
guide until the blade is cutting square.
2a) Blade tension is determined by system
pressure. Check. (Extended head, check if
blade tension gauge reads 650psi.)
2b) Have tracking set to blade specication.
3a) Blade tension is determined by system
pressure. Check. (Extended head, check if
blade tension gauge reads 650psi.)
3b) Reduce the Feed Force pressure and
attempt cut.
4a) Blade tension is determined by system
pressure. Check. (Extended head, check if
blade tension gauge reads 650psi.)
4b) Reduce the blade speed to eliminate
vibration.
4c) Adjust the distance between the guide
arms to minimum possible.
5a) Reduce the feed rate and check system
pressure.
5b) Blade tension is determined by system
pressure. Check.
6a) Select a blade with a coarser pitch for
cutting.
6b) Replace or adjust the blade brush.
6c) Reduce the feed rate. Check calculations
for rate.
6d) Reduce the feed force pressure maxi-
mum setting.
7a) Add coolant to the reservoir. Check for
leaks.
7b) Use compressed air to blow obstruction
out of the line.
7c) Check the pump output and replace if
necessary.
CAUSE
1a) Blade is worn.
1b) Blade guide is worn or not
adjusted.
2a) Blade tension is insu󰀩cient.
2b)Blade tracking out of adjustment.
3a)Blade tension is insu󰀩cient.
3b) Excessive feed force.
4a) Blade tension is insu󰀩cient.
4b) Blade speed excessive.
4c) Guide arms too far apart.
5a) Excessive feed rate.
5b) Excessive blade tension.
6a) Blade Pitch is too ne.
6b) Blade brush is not cleaning.
6c) Excessive feed rate.
6d) Excessive feed force.
7a) Coolant reservoir low or empty.
7b) Coolant line is blocked.
7c) Coolant pump not operating.
