Adjustment
of
Valves for Whirlwind Model 216 Cut-Off
Saw
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your Whirlwind model 216 cut-off saw was run-in for 4 - 5 hours and then adjusted
to
factory
specifications. The double palm manifold requires
no
adjustment and
all
other valves should be
adjusted properly. Adjustments to cycle speed may be made for various applications. This adjust-
ment
is
outlined below.
CAUTION: CUT OFF ELECTRICITY & LOCK OUT DISCONNECT BOX BEFORE ADJUSTING
VALVES.
Cycle speed
is
adjusted by two alien cap adjustment screws located
on
the pilot valve. The upper
screw adjusts the speed of the cylinder expanding. The lower screw adjusts the speed of the cylinder
contracting. The speed of this expansion and contraction should be equal. The model 216 saw
should be adjusted to cycle 40 times per minute without lumber under the guard. When the saw
is
cutting lumber, cycle speed will increase. This is due to the fact that the guard
is
traveling less
distance. Maximum cycle time while cutting
is
approximately
40
cuts per minute.
NOTE: Exceeding 40 cuts per minute may reduce the life of the machine.
