Dinasaw® Bandsaw Sharpener
ATOMATIC MODELS ONLY:
First connect the power supply to the grinder making sure that the polarity is correct. With the power switched on the green indicator light should glow and the red function light should be off. To make setup adjustments use the Inching buttons, these will feed the blade at a speed determined by you. Once setup adjustments have been made, press the Stop button.
If you wish to sharpen your blade only once then place the magnet on the blade so that it will pass directly in front of the magnetic reed switch (see Fig. 6), then press the start button followed by the Grinder button. This will only allow the magnet to pass the reed switch once. To sharpen your blade more than once, place the magnet on the blade as described before, press Stop / Reset (this will clear all previous instructions), press the Counter button the required number of times you wish to sharpen your blade.(eg: press button 5 times and the magnet will pass the proximity switch 5 times). The display will confirm how many times you press the button. Once you have done this press “Start” then “Grinder”. The sharpener has been programmed to start at a slow speed with the grinder motor off to minimise accidental damage due to incorrect setup.
To alter the feed speed of your machine when in run mode (ie. Both red and green lights on) press the “Inch Fwd” or “Inch Rev” buttons.
To only turn the grinder motor on press “Stop” then “Grinder”.
The control module has a built in protection feature which will shut down the unit in the event of a mechanical or electrical failure. Once the module has shut down a two to three minute “cool down” period is required to allow the module to reset. Do not operate the machine immediately after it has automatically shut down.
When the machine is in run mode (ie. Both red and green lights are on), the feed speed may automatically alter. This is a normal feature of the controller. If the module senses any excess load on the feed motor (kinked or gummed blades), it will automatically adjust the speed to compensate.
For manual sharpeners, only turn the handle in a clockwise direction.
It is not recommended to run the sharpener at slow speeds for long periods.
