V. Installation and Trial Run of the Machine

(I) Installation and Debugging

Before installation, be familiar with foundation installation drawing,
and install as per the following steps:
1. Pour concrete foundation in accordance with foundation
installation drawing, and install after the foundation is fully dried.
2. The step of installing band saw machine and its driving motor is
as follows:
(1) Install band sawing machine on the foundation, adjust wedge
blocks and correct level with a gradienter. The reading error of
gradienter shall not exceed 0.05/1000mm.
(2) Before installing lower saw wheel, clean the interface between
base and lower saw wheel. Then install lower saw wheel and adjust
its position so that its extending end is towards timber outputting
direction after the saw wheel is installed.
(3) Adjust the positions of upper and lower saw wheels. The end of
upper saw wheel should extrude 2-7mm above lower saw wheel.
The frontal end of outer edge of both saw wheels shall be in a same
plumb line. Examine and if necessary, fasten bolts after adjusting.
No loosing is allowed.

-4-
(4) Install the motor and starter of band sawing machine, put on
delta belt and adjust tension. Then fasten the motor securely.
(5) Switch on the power supply of all motors.

(II) Trial Run

1. Preparation Before Trial Run
(1) Check whether each joint is secure.
(2) Check whether all transmission mechanisms are in good order.
(3) Check whether all operating mechanisms are in good order.
(4) Check whether the insulation and rotary direction of motor are in
good order.
(5) Check whether belt is put on.
(6) Check whether wiring meets requirement and grounding.

(III) Procedure of Trial Run

1. Put on band saw blade and adjust its tension. During adjusting,
wait until balance bar is lifted, observe the elasticity and check
whether balance weight is kept at balancing position.
2. To start band sawing machine, switch on master switch and
press elevation button. First begin idle run for 15-30 minutes to
check whether it operates smoothly. Then stop the machine and
check whether every component meets its requirement of operation.
No irregular striking sound or periodic scream is allowed for the

is normal.
3. Adjust the position shift of saw blade: Disengage the clutch of
large hand wheel, and then rotate the large hand wheel to lean
upper saw wheel (if large hand wheel rotates clockwise, saw blade
-5-
will move inwards, if large hand wheel rotates counterclockwise,
saw blade will move outwards.) The lean is appropriate when tooth
top of band saw blade extends 15-20mm above the edge of upper
saw wheel, in order to prevent saw blade falling off and
counterbalance the pressure of sawn timber on saw blade.
4. When starting the machine for sawing timber, disengage worm
clutch. Check saw wheel rotates clockwise. After confirming that
idle running is in good order, begin trial run of sawing timber.
5. Press the elevating button of saw vice to check if the saw vice
elevated easily without abnormal noise.
6. Stress Test. Take sawing various specifications of timber of
12mm thickness for instance, use round log with a diameter
of >  400mm to conduct maximum power test until a specified
power is reached.In the course of sawing, the requirement of good
stability and micro vibration should be satisfied.

VI. Safe and Technical Operation Regulation

1. Operator shall be familiar with operation specifications and

procedures, and carefully read operation instructions.
2. Band saw blade to use must be processed by donkey engine
(roller mill). Under normal condition, band saw blade can be used
for 1-1.5 hours.
3. During sawing, regularly wipe band saw blade with diesel oil for
lubrication and cooling; and water can also be used for cooling.
4. The span between upper saw vice and sawn timber is preferably
5-10cm.
5. When the machine stops, upper saw wheel should be lowered to

-6-
loosen band saw blade.
6. Maintenance such as adding lubricant or fastening screws is
prohibited during the operation of machine.
7. Upper and lower saw vices should be fixed with hard wooden
blocks to limit the swinging of band saw blade. Do not clamp too
tight to avoid heating of saw blade.

VII. Lubrication and Maintenance

1. Before operation, conduct machine lubrication and maintenance

as required.
2. Add high-temperature and high-speed grease to rolling bearings.
Replace grease after half a month for the first time (under normal
operation) and replace once every three months.
3. Clean foreign matters on the machine before and after operation.
Wipe out dirt on the surface of machine and keep the appearance
of machine clean.
4. Treat with oil seal on guide rail surface and sliding surface of the
machine to avoid rusting.
