WHAT YOU NEED
Tools:Security Torx Key SetPen
Safety Equipment:Standard Personal Protective Equipment
- Start a rehoming cycle then press the red STOP button on the operator console when the follower is roughly half a metre away from the end of its travel close to the saw.
- Isolate the saw electrically.
- Remove the rear side guard from the infeed feeder.
-
From the rear of the infeed feeder, use a pen to operate the manual override button for the follower paddle air supply valve (marked "FOL") on the valve bank multiple times and observe the actuation of the paddle.
Note: this should actuate with roughly a 1-second rise and fall time.
- If too fast or too slow, adjust the restrictors until the desired actuation speed is observed.
- Refit the rear side guard on the infeed feeder.
- Turn on the electrical isolation switch on the front of the saw.
