FOREWORD
Put Safety First!
This Safety Section contains important information to help you work safely with your machine and describes the dangers
inherent to bandsaws. Some of these dangers are obvious, while others are less evident.
It really is important to PUT SAFETY FIRST. Make it a habit to consider the hazards associated with any action BEFORE
you do it. If you feel any uncertainty, stop and find a safer approach to the action. If you’re still uncertain, ask for advice
from your supervisor.
The SAFETY FIRST approach is particularly necessary when you do something new, or different, and most people
instinctively recognize this, although impatience may still cause them to take unnecessary risks.
Danger also lurks in the routine task that we have done over and over. Here, familiarity, boredom, or tiredness may lull us
into unthinking, automatic repetition. Be alert for this, and when you feel it happening, stop and take stock of your
situation. Review the safety hazards associated with what you are doing. That should get your brain working again.
Certainly production is important, but if you think you’re too busy to put safety first, think how much production you’ll lose if
you get hurt.
You owe it to yourself, your family, and your co-workers to PUT SAFETY FIRST.

BASIC RULES
Intended Use
Our machines are designed and built in line with the state of the art, and specifically in accordance with
American National Standards Institute Standard B11.10 Safety Requirements for Metal Sawing Machines.
However, all machines may endanger the safety of their users and/or third parties, and be damaged,
or damage other property, if they are operated incorrectly, used beyond their specified capacity, or for
purposes other than those specified in this Manual.
Exclusion of Misuse
Misuse includes, for example:
Sawing hazardous materials such as magnesium or lead.
Sawing work pieces which exceed the maximum workload appearing in the Specifications.
Operating the machine without all original safety equipment and guards.
Liability
The machine may only be operated:
When it is in good working order, and

Manual, and
When all operations and procedures are in compliance with this Manual.
Hyd-Mech Group cannot accept any liability for personal injury or property damage due to operator errors
or non-compliance with the Safety and Operating Instructions contained in this Manual.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE OWNER
Organization of work
This Operation and Maintenance Manual must always be kept near the machine so that it is accessible to
all concerned.
The general, statutory and other legal regulations on accident prevention and environmental protection
must also be observed, in addition to the Manual material. The operators and maintenance personnel
must be instructed accordingly. This obligation also includes the handling of dangerous substances and
the provision and use of personal protective equipment.
Choice and qualification of personnel

Ensure that work on the machine is only carried out by reliable persons who have been appropriately
trained for such work.
Training
Everyone working on or with the machine must be duly trained with regard to the correct use of the
machine, the correct use of safety equipment, the foreseeable dangers that may arise during operation of
the machine, and the safety precautions to be taken.
In addition, the personnel must be instructed to check all safety devices at regular intervals.
0.3

Define responsibilities
Clearly define exactly who is responsible for operating, setting-up, servicing and repairing the machine.
Define the responsibilities of the machine operator and authorize him to refuse any instructions by third
parties if they run contrary to the machine’s safety.
Persons being trained on the machine may only work on or with the machine under the constant
supervision of an experienced operator. Observe the minimum age limits required by law.
Condition of Machine and Workplace

Ensure that the machine and its safety equipment are kept in good working order.
Ensure that the work area is well lit, and protected from the elements, such as rain, snow, abrasive dust,
and extremes of temperature.
Ensure that the machine is installed with sufficient clearance around it for the safe loading and unloading
of work pieces.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE OPERATOR AND MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL
Safety equipment
All machines are delivered with safety equipment that must not be removed or bypassed during operation.
The correct functioning of safety equipment on the machine must be checked:
• At the start of every shift.
• After maintenance and repair work
• When starting for the first time, and after prolonged shutdowns
Emergency Stop Button (E-Stops)

Always be aware of the location of the Emergency Stop Button(s). Do not allow material or objects to
block your access to an Emergency Stop.
Damage
If any changes capable of impairing safety are observed in the machine or its operation, such as damage,
malfunctions, or irregularities, then appropriate steps must be taken immediately, the machine switched
off, locked-out, and the fault reported to the responsible person.
Safe operation
The machine may only be operated when in good working order and when all protective equipment is in
place and operational.
Keep a safe distance from all moving parts – especially the blade and vises.
Stock should not be loaded onto the saw if the blade is running.
Long and heavy stock should always be properly supported in front of and behind the saw.
Faults
The machine must be switched off and locked-out before starting to remedy any faults.
Safety hazard labels
Safety hazard labels and other instructional labels on the machine must be observed. They must be
clearly visible and legible at all times. If they become damaged they must be replaced.
0.4

Clothing, jewelry, protective equipment
Personnel operating or working on the machine must not wear un-restrained long hair, loose-fitting
clothes and dangling jewelry.
When operating or working on the machine, always wear suitable, officially tested personal protective
equipment such as safety glasses and safety boots and any other equipment required by plant
regulations.
Gloves
Experience has shown that careless use of gloves around machinery is a major factor in serious hand
injuries.
Gloves should not be worn when operating or adjusting the machine, except:
Wear protective gloves when handling bandsaw blades at blade changes.
Gloves may be worn when handling work pieces, only if the machine is in Manual Mode and the
bandsaw blade is not running.
If the machine is running in Auto Mode, and only if the cut parts are greater than 24 inches
long, it may be possible to safely wear gloves for handling the cut parts, but the wearer of the
gloves must never put his hands near the blade for any reason. If the cut parts are less than 24
inches long, it is required to arrange their automatic flow into a parts bucket or other suitable
arrangement to avoid the necessity to pick them off the machine by hand.
Hearing protection
Ear protection must be worn whenever necessary.
The level and duration of noise emission requiring hearing protection depends upon the national
regulations in the country in which the machine is being used.
The actual level of noise emission by band sawing machines depends upon work piece size, shape and
material, blade type, blade speed and feed rate.
The only practical course of action is to measure the actual noise emission levels for the type of work that
is typically done. With reference to national standards, decide upon the necessary hearing protection
required.
In the absence of such measurements, it is advisable for anyone exposed to long periods of moderate to
loud noise to wear hearing protection. It is important to understand that hearing loss is gradual and easily
goes un-noticed until it is serious and irreversible.
Workplace
A clear working area without any obstructions is essential for safe operation of the machine. The floor
must be level and clean, without any build-up of chips, off-cuts, coolant, or hydraulic oil.
The workplace must be well lit, and protected from the elements, such as rain, snow, abrasive dust, and
extremes of temperature
Nothing may ever be placed on, or leaned against the machine, with the obvious exception of the work
piece on the table and conveyor of the machine.
0.5

Master Disconnect
Lock-out the machine before undertaking any maintenance or repair work on it. ‘Lock-out’ refers switching
off the master electrical disconnect switch, and locking it out so that it cannot be switched on again
without authorization.
On Hyd-Mech machines the Master Disconnect Switch will be of one of four types:
• Rotary switch mounted in electrical control cabinet door and inter-locked with door.
• Rotary switch mounted on the side of the operator interface console.
• Lever switch mounted in separate box mounted on the machine.
• Supply disconnect switch supplied by user at installation and usually wall-mounted within sight of
the machine, depending upon local regulations.
In almost all jurisdictions, it is required that owners of industrial equipment establish and post
lock-out procedures. Know and use the lock-out procedures of your company or organization.
Residual Risks
The machine is still not completely de-energized if an electrical cabinet door type switch is
locked-out.
The line side of the disconnect switch itself remains energized.
Variable speed blade drives store dangerous voltage in their capacitors, and this requires time to
dissipate. After locking out power, wait 3 minutes before beginning to work on machine electrical
circuits.
If compressed air is supplied to the machine to power a mist lubrication system or other devices,
it should be disconnected, and any stored air pressure released before working on the machine.
The weight of individual machine components represents stored potential energy that can be
released if they fall when disconnected. Secure these components with adequate hoisting gear
before disassembly.
SAFETY HAZARD LABELS
The safety hazard labels attached to your machine represent important safety information to help you avoid personal injury
or death.
All supervisors, operators, and maintenance personnel must locate and understand the safety information associated with
each hazard label prior to operating or servicing the machine.
The safety hazard labels shown below are located at various positions on the machine to indicate possible safety hazards.
The location and re-order part number of all the safety labels associated with this particular model of bandsaw are indicated
at the end of this section of the manual. It is important to replace any safety hazard label that becomes damaged or illegible.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE INSIDE

Contact with high voltage may cause death or serious injury. Never perform
maintenance on, or near, electrical components until the machine’s electrical
power source has been disconnected. Lock-out power in accordance with your
company’s lock-out procedures before any such maintenance. The “Stop” or
“Emergency Stop” push button does not disconnect the machine’s power supply.
Hazardous voltage is still present in the machines electrical circuits.
The machine’s Electrical Disconnect Switch does disconnect voltage from the
machine’s circuits; however hazardous voltage is still present inside the main electrical cabinet, on the infeed (line) side of
the main fuses. Therefore keep hands and tools away from the infeed side of the control panel main fuses. If these fuses
need to be replaced, use a fuse puller.
Allow three minutes after locking-out power before opening any electrical enclosures. Your machine may be equipped with a
variable frequency drive that stores high voltage within its capacitors. Three minutes will allow sufficient time for this voltage
to safely discharge.
Never spray coolant directly at electrical components or cabinets.
0.6

MOVING BANDSAW BLADE WILL CUT
Do NOT operate with guard removed.
Do NOT place hands or fingers near moving bandsaw blade.
For blade changing, always follow the proper Blade Changing Procedure, as given in
Section 3 of this manual.
PINCH POINT
Machine parts may move without warning, either because the machine is operating automatically, or because another
person initiates the motion. Keep hands clear of all labelled pinch points, whenever the machine is running. Machine vises
can exert great force and cause severe injury. Keep hands clear of vises and work piece when vises are opened or closed.
Be aware that vise closing or opening may result in potentially dangerous work piece movement. Be aware also that the
opening motion of a vise may create potential pinch points.
MOVING PARTS CAN CRUSH AND CUT

Keep hands clear of chip auger. Lock-out power in accordance with your company’s lock-out procedures before attempting
to clear a jam in the chip auger.
Be aware that the chip auger may start unexpectedly, either because the machine is operating automatically, or because
another person initiates the motion.
If the chip auger is stalled because of a jam, it may start without warning when the jam is cleared, unless the machine power
is locked out.

SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
Upon delivery of your new S23P II saw, it is imperative that a thorough inspection be undertaken to check for any damage
that could have been sustained during shipping. Special attention should be paid to the electrical and hydraulic systems
to check for damaged cords, hoses and fluid leaks. In the event of damage caused during shipping, contact your carrier to
file a damage claim.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The S23P II has been designed to give years of reliable service. It is essential that operators be alerted to the safe opera-
tion of this saw, and the practices to avoid that could lead to injury. The following safety rules are at the minimum neces-
sary for the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of the saw. Take every precaution for the protection of operators
and maintenance personnel.
• POWER HOOK-UPS AND REPAIRS SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED ONLY BY QUALIFIED TRADESMEN.
• THE SAW SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WITH SUFFICIENT ROOM TO SAFELY LOAD STOCK INTO
THE SAW. SECURE THE SAW TO THE FLOOR.
• THE AREA AROUND THE SAW SHOULD BE MAINTAINED IN A CLEAN AND TIDY CONDITION TO AVOID
OBSTACLES OPERATORS COULD TRIP OVER.
• THE S23P II SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED ACCORDING TO THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE SAW. AVOID
UNSAFE USAGE PRACTICES.
• IF AT ANY TIME THE SAW DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE OPERATING PROPERLY IT SHOULD BE STOPPED
IMMEDIATELY AND REPAIRED.
OPERATOR:
• THE SAW SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED UNLESS ALL GUARDS AND DOORS ARE IN PLACE AND
CLOSED.
• KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE FROM ALL MOVING PARTS - ESPECIALLY THE BLADE AND VISES.
• LOOSE CLOTHING AND GLOVES SHOULD NEVER BE WORN WHILE OPERATING THE SAW. COVER LONG
HAIR.
• STOCK SHOULD NOT BE LOADED ONTO THE SAW IF THE BLADE IS RUNNING.
• LONG AND HEAVY STOCK SHOULD ALWAYS BE PROPERLY SUPPORTED IN FRONT OF AND BEHIND THE
SAW.
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO DISLODGE OR MOVE STOCK WHILE THE BLADE IS MOVING. TAKE THE TIME TO
STOP THE SAW BLADE, REMOVE OBSTRUCTIONS, AND RESTART BLADE.
• MUST WEAR EYE PROTECTION
• MAINTAIN PROPER ADJUSTMENT OF BLADE TENSION, AND BLADE GUIDES
• HOLD WORK PIECE FIRMLY AGAINST TABLE
• DO NOT REMOVE JAMMED CUTOFF PIECES UNTIL BLADE HAS STOPPED
NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE MACHINE ARE PERMITTED WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM HYD-MECH. ANY AP-
PROVED MODIFICATIONS SHOULD ONLY BE UNDERTAKEN BY TRAINED PERSONNEL.
1.1

LIFTING THE S23P II WITH A FORK LIFT
The S23PII is shrink-wrapped and shipped

on a pallet. When lifting the pallet with a
forklift truck make sure that the load is firmly
balanced. The pallet dimensions are 94”
(2388mm) x 110” (2794mm). Minimum fork
length of 48” (1219mm) is recommended to
safely lift the machine.
Remove the wrapping from around the saw.

Complete the inspection for signs of damage.
Remove the bolts that hold the saw to the pal-
let. Retain these bolts to use for levelling. The
larger diameter hole is for use with concrete 16” (0.406m)
floor anchors. The smaller diameter, threaded 32” (0.813m)
holes at each corner are used for levelling the
saw properly.
The machine should be lifted from the FRONT

as shown. Locate one fork 16” from the idler
side of the machine. Forklift spacing should be
about 32” apart.
NOTE: DO NOT position the forklift to allow contact with the electrical cabinet. DAMAGE WILL RESULT!
FOUNDATION, LEVELLING AND ANCHORING
Machine location should be carefully selected. A flat con-

crete floor area should be chosen. It should have enough
free space surrounding the machine to enable free access
for safe operation and maintenance. The machine should be
leveled in both directions (from side to side & from front to
back). Six leveling screws used for securing the machine to
the pallet during transport, should be installed, one in each
corner of the machine base, as shown below. It might be
required to place steel plates under leveling bolts to pre-
vent their sinking into the concrete floor. In cases when the
machine is to be anchored permanently, anchoring holes are
provided. They are located next to the leveling screw holes.
The larger diameter hole is used for retaining during shipping
and for use with concrete floor anchors. The smaller diam-
eter threaded hole at each corner, are used for leveling the
saw.
Using a level on the machine out-feed table, level machine
front to back and side to side.
NOTE: In some cases leveling the saw infeed with a slight
slope towards the blade is recommended. This will prevent
coolant from running down the raw stock. (This is especially
true when cutting tubing or bundles).
1.2

CUTTING FLUID
The S23P II uses a pump and reservoir to circulate the necessary cutting fluid to the blade for maximum blade life. Your
saw blade supplier will be able to provide information to the cutting fluid products that are available for your needs.
No cutting fluid (coolant) is supplied with the machine. There are two types of coolant available:
- Oil based; dilute 1:10 ratio (one part concentrated coolant to 10 parts water)
- Synthetic; dilute as recommended by manufacturer.
HYDRAULIC OIL
The S23P II is supplied with FOX YE 32 hydraulic oil. Substitutes

should be of the same viscosity hydraulic oil.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
After the machine is leveled and anchored the necessary power hook-up needs to be performed.
Check that there is no sign of shipping damage to the electrical conduits, cords or hydraulic hoses.
As supplied, the S23P II is built to run on three phase AC Voltage, as indicated on the machine serial plate and voltage
label. Machine voltage is customer specific and should be indicated while ordering the machine. If machine voltage does
not match available power source contact factory.
Power connection to the machine is made in the junction box, located on the back side of the machine. The power cable
can be routed through the supplied hole in the junction box, and connections made to L1, L2, L3, and ground terminals.
Proper strain relief should be used on the incoming power cable.

MECHANICAL CONTROLS
HEAD SWING and BREAK
An integral function of the S23P II is the ability to make mitered cuts at angles between 90 and 30 degrees. The Head
swing of the S23P II is easily changed to set a different cutting angle by first releasing the Angle Brake lever, and then
manually moving the Head to the cutting angle desired. An angle scale with a pointer in clear view of the saw operator
allows for accurate setting of the cutting angle. The Angle Brake lever is then locked in position by forcing it into the down
position. It should be noted that the angle brake should be locked into position whenever cutting with the saw. The photo
illustrates the Angle Brake in the locked position at 65 degrees. To set the saw to the 90 degree position, the Head (in the
fully down position) is moved until the frame meets the 90 degree
stop bolt.

2.5

COOLANT FLOW
The S23P II bandsaw is equipped with a coolant pump supplying coolant flow to four coolant outlets.
• The wash gun is provided for clearing chip accumulations.

• Guide arm coolant nozzles, one at each guide arm, are equipped with a flow control shut-off valve. The guide arm
nozzles should be adjusted to apply an even covering of coolant to the blade.
• The flexible nozzle can be pointed directly where necessary. It should be used when cutting wide work pieces,
bundles, or structurals. Set extra coolant into the saw kerf at about mid span of the cut. The flexible nozzle has a
flow control shut-off valve.
NOTE: When cutting materials that do not need constant coolant, such as cast iron, some coolant flow is still required for
blade lubrication to prevent blade scoring by carbide pads as the blade moves through them.
GUIDE ARM POSITIONING
The S23P II idler side guide arm is adjustable to accommodate varying material widths. The guide arm should be adjusted
as close to the material as possible while still allowing it to pass. This process of matching the guide arm spacing to the
material size is important to optimize blade life and ensure straightness of the cut.
Locking handle
To adjust the guide arm:
1. Move locking handle counter clockwise to release the handle.

2. Slide the guide arm to the required position.
3. Move locking handle clockwise to lock in to position.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT/CONTROLS
WORK STOP
The work stop is used to set a consistent cut length from 0 to 34 inches. The photo shows the stop at a short length, which
is adjusted with one or both of the locking handles. The bar with the actual stop attached to it can be removed, turned 180
degrees end for end, and inserted for longer lengths. The work stop may also be swung out of the work area when it is not
required.

BLADE BASICS
Technology is rapidly changing all aspects of production machining. Metal cutoff is no exception. The advances made in
the bandsaw industry have definitely brought down the cost per cut, despite the three-fold increase in the price of newer
technology blades. Variable pitch (following pages), bi-metal blades (like the ¾ or 4/6 bi-metal blade supplied with the
Hyd-Mech machine) last much longer, cut faster and more accurately than the conventional carbon steel blades. In order
to take advantage of the superiority of bi-metal blades, it is critical to properly “break in” a new blade. This is accomplished
by taking two or three cuts through solid four or five-inch diameter mild steel at an extremely slow feed rate. These two or
three slow cuts sufficiently lap (polish) the new blade so that it does not snag the material being cut. Proper break-in will
alleviate blade vibration, improve surface finish and accuracy, and improve expected blade life.
1. A new blade must be properly “broken-in”. Proper break-in will alleviate blade vibration, improve surface finish
and accuracy, and improve expected blade life. The most convenient way to do this is to cut the intended work-
piece, at the standard recommended blade speed for that material, but with the feed rate reduced to about 25% of
normal. Near the end of the first cut, increase the feed rate again, and once again when the blade approaches the
end of the second cut. Keep increasing feed rate in this fashion, so that normal feed rate is reached after 300 to
400 square centimeters of cutting.
2. Generous coolant application is essential with almost all materials. A high quality and well-mixed coolant will
dramatically extend blade life, and will increase cutting rate and surface finish. On those few materials where cool-
ant is undesirable, a slight coolant flow or periodic oiling of the blade is necessary to prevent the blade from being
scored by the carbide guides.
3. The Stock being cut must be securely clamped in the vises. Stock movement during cutting will strip blade
teeth. Noticeable stock vibration reduces cutting performance and blade life – consideration should be given to
reorientation of the stock, or additional clamping measures (e.g. wood between vise jaws and work-piece).
4. The proper blade speed for the work-piece material must be selected. Use the following chart as a starting
point:
Blade speeds higher than recommended will quickly dull the blade. Blue chips are evidence of excessive blade
speed.
Lower than recommended speeds will not prolong blade life, and will require reduced feed rate. However, reduced
speeds may be helpful in reducing vibration, and therefore may increase blade life.
5. The proper feed rate must be applied. Feed rate is the speed which the head “free-falls” and is set with the feed
rate control knob. The head will descend more slowly when the blade encounters the work-piece. Verification of
proper feed rate is provided by the appearance of the cut chips, which ideally form nicely curled “clock springs”.
Note that cast irons and interrupted cuts result in short, broken chips even at ideal feed rates. Excessive feed rate
will result in short blade life and/or crooked cuts.
2.7

DETERMINE OPTIMUM BLADE PITCH – TEETH PER INCH (T.P.I.)
Selecting a blade with proper tooth pitch is important in order to achieve optimal cutting rates and good blade life. For
cutting narrow or thin wall structural materials, a fine blade with many teeth per inch (T.P.I.) is recommended. For wide
materials a blade with a coarse pitch should be used. See the sketch below for the blade pitch changes for differing effec-
tive material widths.
It is impractical to change the blade to the proper pitch every time a different width of material is cut and it is not neces-
sary, but remember that the optimum blade will cut most efficiently. Too fine a blade must be fed slower on wide mate-
rial because the small gullets between the teeth will get packed with chips before they get across and out of the cut. Too
coarse a blade must be fed slower because it has fewer teeth cutting and there is a limit to the depth of a cut taken by
each tooth.

SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
SAFETY DURING MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
“Lock-out”, or “Lock-out Tag-out” are terms that refer to procedures taken to prevent the unexpected start-up, or other re-
lease of energy, by a machine, whenever anyone is required to remove or bypass safety guards or devices, or whenever
anyone is required to place part of his body in a hazard area.
In almost all jurisdictions, it is required that owners of industrial equipment establish and post lock-out procedures. Know
and use the lock-out procedures of your company or organization. In the absence, of such posted procedures, use the
following procedure.
LOCK OUT PROCEDURE
Whenever work is to be performed on a machine, which requires removal or bypassing of safety guards or devices, or the
placement of part of anyone’s body in a hazard area, the following steps shall be taken:
1. Operator shuts down the machine. The head must be lowered fully, or onto suitable supports, before any
hydraulic service is performed, to prevent the head from moving unexpectedly.
2. The supervisor in charge of the machine must be informed of the intention to Lock-out the machine.
3. The Main Power Disconnect Switch must be turned off, and locked in the off position by means of a padlock.
The key for this padlock must be kept by the person performing the work on the machine. If more than one
person is performing work on the machine, then a multiple lock hasp shall be used, and each person shall ap-
ply his or her own lock to the hasp.
4. Prior to starting any work on the locked-out machine, the supervisor shall attempt to start the machine to
ensure that the lock-out device provides adequate protection. Operating controls must be reset to the “off”
position after this test.
5. Work on the locked-out machine may now proceed.
The main power disconnect switch used for safety lockout purposes.
RESTORING MACHINE TO USE
After completion of all repairs or maintenance to the locked-out machine, it shall be restored to use as follows:
The person(s) who performed the work shall verify that all areas around the machine are safe, before the machine is
re-energized. No-one shall be permitted in un-safe areas around the machine. All guards and covers shall be properly
installed.
Each lock-out padlock shall be removed by the person who applied it.
After the lock-out padlocks are removed, and before the machine is started, the supervisor and all other employees who
use the machine, shall be informed that the lock-out has been removed. After notification is made, the machine may be
re-started.
3.1

BLADE CHANGING PROCEDURE
NOTE: Wear gloves for protection from the sharp blade.
1. Raise the head 4” off the table at the datum jaw, and swing to 60°. Open the blade door.
2. Loosen the Blade Tensioner by turning counter clockwise.
3. Loosen the carbide tension handles by turning counter clockwise ¼ turn.
4. At the top of the head, the saw blade runs in behind two blade retainers. Grip the blade at each end of these
retainers and twist the blade teeth down past each and slide the blade forward. Let the blade rest, and then
slide the blade down and out of the carbide guides.
5. Your new blade will be in a coil. While wearing gloves, hold the blade away from yourself, and twist the blade
to uncoil it. Do not let the blade teeth bounce on the concrete floor as this may cause some damage.
6. Place the new blade in the carbide guides and then slide the blade over the wheels. The teeth should be
pointing towards the drive side as they pass through the carbide guides.
7. With the blade in place, turn the tensioner handle clockwise. Recommended blade tension is between 1000 -
1200 kg (2200 - 2650 lbs). If the blade is under tensioned the blade motor will not start.
8. Turn the two carbide-locking handles clockwise to the locked position.
BLADE TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
1. Jog the blade a few rotations to check that the blade is not moving in or out on the blade wheels. NOTE: As
the blade tracking will stay fairly constant, it should be checked occasionally as shown on the drive wheel-
tracking photo below. The blade teeth should protrude from .185” to .200” (4.7 - 5.1mm) from the face of the
blade wheels. If the tracking requires adjustment, follow the instruction below.
2. BLADE TRACKING ADJUSTMENT – First, inspect the blade wheels for wear or damage and repair as re-
quired. Blade tracking adjustment should always begin at the wheel where the tracking is farthest out of speci-
fication. Using the instructions below, adjust the worst wheel, jog the blade and recheck both wheels. Repeat
this process until both wheels are within specification.
a. IDLER WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
Remove the Idler Box Front Cover to access the Blade Tension Slider Assembly
The tracking is adjusted by regulating the “push” set screws and the “pull” hex bolts. Before making any
adjustments, bolts A & B should be loosened but remain snug. This will allow easy movement for the
slide assembly. Loosening bolt A and turning in set screws C by equal amounts will move the blade on to
the wheel. Loosening bolt B and turning in set screws D by equal amounts will move the blade off of the
wheel. After each C or D adjustment, tighten bolts A & B, run the blade and then check the tracking.
3.2

C A C D B D
b. DRIVE WHEEL ADJUSTMENT – On the wall behind the drive wheel are two adjusting bolt assemblies
and two hex bolts. Loosen all four of them with a ¾” socket and turn the larger hex head bolts ¼ turn with
a 1 1/8” socket and extension and then tighten the two bolts in the assemblies. Then tighten the two hex
bolts at the left. Turning the 1 1/8” bolts clockwise will pull the blade onto the wheel and turning counter
clockwise will push the blade off. Each ¼ turn will move the blade approximately .02”.
10. Check the blade brush adjustment to be sure the blade is being cleaned properly.
BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
At the bottom of the guide arms are the carbide blade guide assemblies, the photo shows the carbide-locking handle.
These assemblies will need to be adjusted occasionally as the carbide pads become worn. To adjust properly, follow this
simple procedure. Loosen the hex nut on the locking handle and loosen the handle. Turn the setscrew clockwise until tight
and then loosen 1/8 turn and tighten the hex nut. This should put just enough pressure on the blade to permit you to push
the blade down approximately 1/8” (3.2mm).
3.3

BLADE BRUSH ADJUSTMENT
The machine leaves the factory with the blade brush adjusted for maximum life of the brush. This setting places the ends
of the blade brush wires so as to contact the blade at the bottom of the blade gullets. The plastic drive wheel that is driven
by the drive wheel face should be held against the blade face with the minimum force that is necessary. As the blade
brush wears it is necessary to periodically adjust it closer to the blade or if a new brush is installed, further away from the
blade.
As shown, there are two springs on socket set screws holding the brush assembly against the blade. There is also an ad-
justing socket set screw with a hex nut on it. Loosen the hex nut and turn the setscrew counter clockwise. This will move
the brush closer to the blade. Adjust the setscrew so that the brush cleans to the bottom of the blade gullets and tighten
the hex nut.
ANGLE BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
The clamping force on the swivel brake can be adjusted to ensure that the Head is held securely and does not move
during cutting. The brake handle should be adjusted so that it does not “bottom out” or hit its movement limit, yet hold the
head securely.
ANGLE BRAKE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE:
Step 1 – Loosen locking cap screws “B” with a 6mm Allen key
Step 2 – Tighten all 4 setscrews “A” until snug with a 4mm Allen key
Step 3 – Back out the “A” screws ¼ turn
Step 4 – Tighten the locking cap screws “B”
Step 5 – Swing the head to 45° and back to ensure that the head moves freely and does not bind on the pivot surfaces.
Continue to step 6 if necessary.
Step 6 – Adjust the clamping force bolt “C” with a 19mm wrench. If not tightened enough, the locking handle will “bottom
out” and not hold the head firmly.
3.4

LUBRICATION
The S23P was designed to minimize the maintenance requirements. Moving assemblies and contact faces need lubrica-
tion on a regular schedule whether they are in heavy use or not. The lubrication requirements of the S23P are primar-
ily the saw pivot points and shuttle assembly which are equipped with grease fittings, and metal to metal surfaces that
require lubrication to prevent wear and seizure.
It is recommended to use LPS ThermaPex Hi-Load bearing Grease manufactured by LPS Labratories or equivalent, for
lubrication of the shuttle assembly. For other points of lubrication general purpose grease is sufficient.
The lubricant should be applied as frequently as required. Main lubrication points are indicated on the following pictures.
SWIVEL PIVOT HEAD PIVOT
SLIDER FRONT VISE
GEARBOX LUBRICATION
The machine is equiped with a worm gear which is permanently lubricated and therefore maintenance free. The box has
no filler cap, level cheker and drain, as it already contains the correct quantity of synthetic oil, guaranteeing perpetual
lubrication of the crown and worm gear. Below is a short list of synthetic oils for permanent lubrication:
BE Energol SG XP220
KLUBER Syntheso D220EP
ESSO Glycolube Range 220
IP CT614
SHELL Tivela Oil SC 320
Gearbox Capicity - 0.084 Gallons (0.320 Litres)
3.5

CLEANLINESS
The heavy-duty design should endure heavy operating conditions and provide the customer with flawless machine perfor-
mance. To extend good performance some care is required especially where cleanliness is concerned.
The following areas should be kept clean:
• Control console free of dirt and grease
• Door charts free of dirt and grease
• Wheel boxes free of chips
• Blade guides free of chips
• Out-feed tables free of chips
• A large chip build-up should be avoided in the base of the saw
NOTE: All parts must be cleaned before any repair service may be performed on them.
