Electrical Connections
The HVBS-7MW bandsaw is rated at 115/230Vand
comes from the factory prewired at 115V. To switch
to 230V operation, follow the wiring diagramfound
on the inside of the motorjunction box. The plug
end will have to replaced with a plugthat is rated at
230V. The coolant pump wiring will have to be
changed also. Follow the diagramfound on the
cooling pump head to switch to 230V operation.
This bandsaw is designed for use on a circuit with an
outlet that looks like (A) in Figure 5. The bandsaw
has a grounding prong as illustrated in (B). A
temporary adapter (C) may be used to connect the
plug to a two pole receptacle (0) if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should only be used until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician. The green colored lug must be securely
fastened to the cover plate screw.
Before hooking up to the power source, be sure the
power and coolant switches are in the off position.
Hydraulic Feed Selector Operation
The hydraulic feed selector is used to control the
blade feed rate and to lock the arm inthe vertical
position. To increase the feed rate, turn knob (A,
Fig. 6) counter-clockwise. To decrease the feed
rate, turn knob (A, Fig. 6) clockwise. To turn off the
flow of hydraulic fluid, turn lever as in figure 6. To
turn the hydraulic cylinder on, raise lever (B, Fig. 6)
to the 12 o'clock position.
For a detailed discussion of proper feed rate and
cutting speed, refer to the enclosed booklet "Lenox
Guide to Bandsawing" published by American Saw
Manufacturing Company. Used by permission.
