-
Loosen screw (C), nut (D), and set screw (D) to widen the
passage between the pads (A and B).
-
Loosen the nut (E) and set screw (E) and rotate the shaft
screw (F) with a flat head screw driver to widen the
passage between the bearings (F and G).
-
To mount the new blade:
Adjust the pad (B) to the blade then loosen the setscrew
(D) to allow a play of 0.04 mm for the movement of the
saw blade. Lock the screw (C), then secure the set screw
(D) and nut (D).
Rotate the shaft (F) until the bearings rest against the
blade, then secure the set screw (E) and nut (E).
8.7 Changing the Blade
WARNING:
Before performing the following operations, the electric power
must be disconnected.
To change the blade:
-
Lift the saw arm.
-
Loosen the blade with the blade tension hand wheel,
remove the mobile blade-guide cover, open the flywheel
guards and remove the old blade from the flywheels and
the blade guide blocks.
-
Assemble the new blade by placing it first between the
pads and then on the race of the flywheels, paying
particular attention to the cutting direction of the teeth
(Fig 8-10).
Figure 8-10: Blade Cutting Direction
-
Tension the blade and make sure it perfectly fits inside the
seat of the flywheels.
Figure 8-11: Wheel Guard Micro Switch
-
Assemble the mobile blade-guide cover and the flywheel
guard.
Make sure the safety micro-switch (N, Fig 8-11) is activated
otherwise the machine will not start.
CAUTION:
Always assemble blades having dimensions as specified in this
manual and for which the blade guides have been set.
Otherwise, see chapter 8.6
9.0 Maintenance
The maintenance jobs listed below are divided into daily,
weekly, monthly and 6-monthly intervals. If the following
operations are neglected, the result will be premature wear or
the machine and poor performance.
WARNING:
Before performing the following operations, the electric power
must be disconnected.
9.1 Daily Maintenance
-
General cleaning of the machine; remove accumulated
chips and shavings.
-
Clean the lubricating coolant drain holes to avoid excess
fluid.
-
Top up the level of lubricating coolant.
-
Check the blade for wear.
-
Lift the saw bow to top position and partially slacken the
blade to avoid useless yield stress.
-
Check functionality of the guards and the emergency stop.
9.2 Weekly Maintenance
-
Thorough cleaning of the machine; remove chips and
shavings, especially from the coolant tank.
-
Remove coolant pump from its housing
-
Clean the filter of the pump suction head and the suction
area.
-
Use compressed air to clean the blade guides (guide
bearings and coolant drain hole)
-
Clean the flywheels and flywheel housings.
-
Check the hydraulic tank oil level, top up with hydraulic oil
if necessary.
9.3 Monthly Maintenance
-
Check the tightening of the motor flywheel screws.
-
Check the condition of the blade guides (guide bearings
and guide pads)
