Test-Running The Machine; Cutting Operation - Sharp SW-165HT Instruction Manual

TEST-RUNNING THE MACHINE

Test-running this machine can ensure good machine performance in the future. We suggest you run
the following tests on the machine before first use:
Testing machine performance:
Turn on the power and run a basic performance test after you finish installing the machine. Follow
these steps to test machine performance:
Step 1 – Disassemble shipping brackets and bolts.
Step 2 – Install roller table (optional)
Step 3 – Turn on the relay switch in the control box.
Step 4 – Elevate the saw bow. (If your coolant pump is in reverse and the machine cannot run, please
change the electrical phase.)
Step 5 – After the saw bow ascends, extend the quick approach device.
Step 6 – Remove the rust-prevention grease with cleaning oil or kerosene.
Step 7 – Start the coolant pump.
Step 8 – Test these functions under manual mode:

vise clamping/unclamping

saw bow ascending/descending

CUTTING OPERATION

Step 1 – Check before you cut

Power: Check the voltage and frequency of your power source.

Coolant: Check if you have sufficient coolant in the tank.

Hydraulic: Check if you have sufficient (at least two-thirds or higher) hydraulic oil.

Workbed: Check if there is any object on the feeding bed that may cause interference.

Blade: Check the blade teeth and make sure there is no worn out teeth along the blade.

Light: Check the work lamp or laser light (optional) and make sure there is sufficient lighting.

Roller: Check all the rollers on the front and rear workbed can roll smoothly.

Saw bow: Check the saw bow to see if it can be elevated and lowered smoothly
Step 2 – Place your workpiece onto the workbed manually or by using a lifting tool e.g. a crane.
Before loading, make sure the vises are opened to at least wider than the width of the
workpiece.
Step 3 – Position your workpiece.
Step 4 – Clamp the workpiece.
Step 5 – Turn the cutting pressure control knob to adjust cutting pressure according to the material.
Step 6 – Adjust blade descend speed control knob to obtain a suitable blade descend speed for your
material.
Step 7 – Start running the blade.
