6. Operation

Turn the knob slowly clockwise to start the spindle. When the spindle has to
stop turn the knob towards OFF.
When this lamp lights the motor has stopped. This may be because both the
spindle and the cutting table have been stopped by the STOP SCREW and
the cutting therefore is finished, or because the motor has run warm due to
thermal overload.
The motor cannot start until the knob SPEED has been on OFF.
Indicates the spindle speed in rpm. It has two scales: 0-1000 and 0-3000
depending on which gear ratio has been chosen.
Is used to adjust the speed of the cutting table. When the knob is turned
counter-clockwise the speed is increased.
Press the button for fast forward movement of the cutting table.
Measures the actual pressure in the hydraulic braking circuit. Is used to
monitor the cutting.
The lamp indicates whether there is power on the apparatus. If the fuse has
been cut-out it can be cut-in again by pressing the button.
Stops the cutting table mechanically and switches off the motor electrically.
The lamp TABLE STOP OR OVERLOAD (fig. 1.2) lights.
Adjust the screw before the cutting starts so that cutting table and motor are
stopped when requested (when the specimen has been cut through, or
when the requested cutting depth has been obtained).
Retains the cutting table in its starting position.
Adjusts the working area of the dial gauge. The rod is held by friction. The
size of the friction is set with the hexagon-headed screw. The friction is
increased by turning the screw clockwise. The friction is adjusted so that the
rod can be moved by pushing it manually, without loosening the screw.
The force on the cutting table is increased by pulling the chains backwards.
The drive must be symmetric.
