Adjusting Coolant Flow; Adjusting Blade Speed; Breaking-In The Blade - Sharp SW-165HT Instruction Manual

ADJUSTING COOLANT FLOW

Step 1 – Press the saw blade start button to start the saw blade drive motor.
Step 2 – Press the saw bow down button to lower the saw bow.
Step 3 – Use the flow control valve (shown below) to adjust the amount of fluid flowing to the cutting
area.
Adjust the flow amount if you observe the following changes to the chips generated from
cutting.

ADJUSTING BLADE SPEED

Step 1 – Set the flow control to "0" position.
Step 2 – Press the saw blade start button to start the blade..
Step 3 – Turn the blade speed control knob to adjust the blade speed. The blade speed should be
adjusted based on the size and the material of the workpiece.

BREAKING-IN THE BLADE

When a new saw blade is used, be sure to first break in the blade before using it for actual, extended
operation. Failure to break in the blade will result in less than optimum efficiency. To perform this
break-in operation, the following instructions should be followed:
Step 1 - Reduce the blade speed to one-half of its normal setting.
Step 2 - Lengthen the cutting time to 2-3 times of what is normally required.
Step 3 - Start the break-in operation.
Step 4 - After the break-in operation is completed, set all parameters back to normal settings.
If the chips are sharp and curved, increase the coolant
flow amount.
If the chips are granulated, decrease the coolant flow
amount.
