BELT REPLACEMENT

1.Release tension on the v-belt and remove old belt.

2.Make sure the new belt is properly situated into the v-grooves of the pulley.

3.Tension new belt.

OPERATION

WARNING: Do not place your hands close to the guard/clamp at any time during operations. All guards must be installed before using the machine.

1.Start the motor and the air supply.

2.Adjust height of clamp so it clears the workpiece by about 1/8".

3.Set the appropriate stop(s) on the roller table and load the stock on to the machine from the infeed side.

4.When the stock is situated, press the foot pedal to make the cut.

WARNING: If the motor is shut off, but the air is still on, the clamp will still be in raised position. Turning off the air will cause the clamp to lower suddenly. Keep hands clear! Re-starting the air will cause the clamp to rise suddenly.

MAINTENANCE

Frequently drain any water out of the pneumatic valve.

The exposed metal areas on the table and fence should be kept clean and free from rust. Apply a coat of paste wax as needed. Another option is to briskly rub talcum powder into the surface with a clean blackboard eraser.

Bearings should be greased through the fitting on the center of the arbor housing (Fig. 18).
