4.5.1 Verify the Proximity Sensor Installation
To properly validate the installation of your machine, you must
verify that the proximity sensors are correctly installed.
To verify the proximity sensor installation:
1. Find the four proximity sensors on the machine as shown
in the following image.
Figure 4-19: Proximity sensors on the bandsaw.
2. Inspect each proximity sensor to verify that there's a
0.55 mm to 0.75 mm gap.
Figure 4-20: Proximity sensor.
3. You've successfully verified the proximity sensor
installation. Now, you must verify the machine's
electronics. Go to "Power On the Machine" (below).
4.5.2 Power On the Machine
To properly validate the installation of your machine, you must
understand how to power on and off the machine and use the
