When the blade drive button is pressed, the cutting fluid pump begins to operate
causing the cutting fluid to flow out the coolant lines. Adjust the cutting fluid flow
with the fluid controls so that the proper amount of fluid will flow from the blade
inserts, the quick approach and the wire brush case.
The flow of cutting fluid should be adjusted, depending upon the material.
Saw chips which are fine and curve require an increase in the amount of
cutting fluid.
Saw chips which are fine and grained require a reduction in the amount of
cutting fluid.
5. Adjust both the cutting force and the descending speed of the saw blade and
begin cutting the work piece.
a. Turn the cutting pressure control to the zone corresponding to the
material (or shape) of the work piece to be cut. When the work piece
is large (or difficult to cut), turn the control to the right end of the
corresponding zone. When the work piece is small (or easy to cut),
turn the control to the left end of the corresponding zone. Always turn
the cutting pressure control to the point most suitable for the work
piece to be cut.
b. Slowly turn the flow control clockwise from zero to the point just
before the blade begins to vibrate. As the flow control is turned, the
saw blade begins to descend and the actual cutting of the work piece
begins. After completion of the cutting, the saw blade stops at the
lower limit position (only LE13A).
