As with the blade height adjustment, there is also a require- ment to adjust the product clamps to adequately clamp differ- ent size products. The clamps are reversible and can be used for clamping round or flat items. If you are running a round product such as pipe or tubing, the side of the clamp that has a "V" notch should be used and for flat surfaced products, the straight side of the clamp should be used.

To remove and/or adjust each clamp assembly:

Lock out and tag out the power to the saw. See Section 1: Introduction, How to use the Lockout Device.

Wait at least five minutes for the blade to stop completely.

Pull the hitch pin from the clamp keeper pin and remove both pins.

Slide the clamps to the desired position.

Re-insert the keeper pins.

Re-install the hitch pins.

IMPORTANT: The clamps should be set approximately 1/8"-1/4" above the product in the "up" position to allow for positive clamping. Always check to see if setting is correct before operating in line.

This equipment is powered by either 230 or 460 VAC , Three Phase, as specified on the machine nameplate.

POWER SUPPLY

Connect the machine power through a fused discon- nect of proper rating. Make sure the power is grounded through the power cable to the plant electrical ground.

The operator control panels are located on the front of the saw frame. The pneumatic control panel is located to the left of the operator controls platform. It consists of a pressure regulator, pressure gauge, and flow controls. All items are labeled, easily accessible and lockable.

The electrical control panel is located just to the right of the pneumatic control. It consists of start and stop pushbuttons, a power on light, a manual cut pushbutton and an emergency stop extended pushbutton. All items are labeled and easily accessible.
