Requirements to the air supply
The pneumatic band saw works optimally at an operating pressure of 6 bar, measured at the
air inlet.
The distance from the air supply to the pneumatic band saw has to be adjusted to the
application conditions on site.
We recommend installing an oiler or a maintenance unit upstream the machine for
compressed air preparation. Use acid and resin-free lubricating oil, like SAE 5W - SAE 10W.
Attention! Do not use viscous oil.
Use an antifreeze lubricant during winter time or when the compressed air is very moist, e.g.:
•
"Kilfrost"
•
or "Kompranol N74".
The supplied compressed air has to be free of:
•
Foreign particles,
•
humidity.
Pay attention that all hoses:
•
Have a cross section being large enough,
•
do not have any restrictions or kinks,
•
are designed for a minimum operating pressure of 6 bar,
•
are replaced regularly at preventative maintenance,
•
have an oil resistant inner surface and an abrasion-resistant outer surface,
•
are proved and specified to be non-conductive when being used next to electric conductors.
Always use hoses, lubricating oil and antifreeze lubricants, which meet the local safety
requirements for use in areas exposed to explosion hazards.
Connecting the air supply to the pneumatic band saw.
Remove the locking cap from the air connection 3 (see fig. 3). Connect the pneumatic hose
(not contained in the scope of delivery).
The reciprocating saw is used with a clamping device. The appropriate clamping device and
the saw blade depend on the material of the work piece. During cutting, the saw blade has to be
cooled, respectively lubricated, with water, drilling emulsion, oil or cutting paste.
