Do not remove the riving knife for saw operations.

For slotting or grooving, the riving knife has to be adjusted in such a way that the upper part of the riving knife is never set lower than the highest sawtooth in use.

Starting the Machine

NOTE: The machine will not start if the blade cover or the rear door is open.

When starting in Star-Delta mode, proceed as follows (Figure 19):

1

– Turn Main Switch to position "I".

Figure 19

2

– Turn Star-Delta switch into star position "Y".

 

3

– Push Main Motor start button.

 

2– After five seconds, put Star-Delta switch into delta position "".

This five second delay is necessary for the motor to gain full speed before switching to delta. If you forget to switch to delta, the motor will operate at full speed but without power, and the motor may become damaged.

4 – Push Scoring Motor start button (main motor must be running).

5 – Emergency stop button halts both main and scoring motors.

The main motor is equipped with an automatic brake which stops the motor within 10 seconds after the machine is shut off.

Fuses are located inside the electrical control panel. The machine must be disconnected from power supply when opening this panel.

This machine has overload protection on both main and scoring motors. Should the motor be shut off by one of these protectors, wait a few minutes until the overload has cooled down before restarting.

Dust Collection

It is strongly recommended that a dust collection system be connected to the HPS67. The dust collector should have sufficient capacity for this size machine. Both the outlet on the blade guard and on the machine base should be connected to the dust collection system.
