MACHINE

FRAME AND

SUPPORT

SYSTEM

The machine frame is constructed of welded steel that has been primed and painted to resist corrosion and provide a maintenance free finish. The frame is supported by, four level- ing screws, that both permanently fix the position of the unit and also help accommodate any uneven flooring. These screws have a welded hex nut to allow adjustment with a wrench.

The motors and machine components are mounted inside the frame and completely guarded for operator safety.

These and all guards should always remain securely in place when machine is running and should be re-installed after any maintenance procedures that have required their removal.

BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The saw blades are mounted to and driven by a 3500 RPM arbor motor. This motor is mounted on a pivot assembly, which guides and secures the saw blade through the cutting process.

There is adjustment for how high the saw blade will extend through the table depending on the product being cut. For maximum cut cycles, the saw blade should be adjusted so that the blade just passes through the product before returning home. Too much blade extension will waste valuable time and limit the amount of cuts that will be available per minute. This adjustment is made externally with the hand knob positioned at the rear of the cutting table. Turning the knob counterclock- wise will allow the blade to extend farther up through the table and turning the knob clockwise will reduce the amount that the blade will come up.
