u. After properly adjusting the position of the work piece, turn the vise
clamp selector to “back vise open”, so that the work piece is securely
clamped with the front vise.
v. Adjust the blade speed to the proper speed section 4.4
w. Turn on the coolant by turning the coolant switch. The flow of cutting
fluid should be adjusted, depending upon the material.
x. 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.
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 by pushing the green blade drive button.
a. Turn the cutting pressure control (page 13 for description) 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 feed 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.

automatic switch to automatic (see section 4.1).
Warning!!!!!
Always turn the machine power off before changing the blade
speed.
