1-2 FEATURES
PRECISION-PROCESSED FEED CHAIN AND GUIDE TRACK
The feed chain block and guide track are made of special cast iron. The high-
grade steel connecting pin are heat-treated and ground for maximum durability.
EIGHT PRESSURE ROLLERS HOLD THE WORKPIECE
STABLY
Eight pressure rollers arranged in six rows on both sides, the front and rear of
sawblade and supported by hinges so that they are smooth and stable in motion.
PRECISION-BUILT SAW ARBOR MOUNTING
Made of nickel-chrome steel, through heat-treated, accurately ground and
dynamically balanced, it runs on precision angular-contact ball bearings which
eliminate any radial run-out and axial thrust at high speed of 4500 r.p.m. and
then ensure accuracy of sawblade and workpiece profile.
POWERFUL ARBOR DRIVE MOTOR
Saw arbor is driven with a motor by means of V-belts. There are 3 choices on
saw motor: 7.5HP, 10HP or 15HP, depending on work requirement.
VARIABLE FEEDING SPEEDS
The feeding speed can be adjusted variably at any speed between 17~40 Meter
per minute, easy to operate.
RIGID CABINET CONSTRUCTION
Cabinet machine base is welded with steel plate. The rigid structure ensures
the strength and stability of the machine.
MOVABLE AND FIXED ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS
The unique design of auto-adjust anti-kickback fingers to be installed between
the first and the second rollers. This anti-kickback fingers will always retain
at the most safe position while raising or lowering pressure rollers. The
operators need not to adjust the fingers. Also, the first row of upper anti-
kickback fingers is independently mounted on an overarm hanger, and one row
of bottom anti-kickback fingers is fitted in front of feed chain.
These three rows of anti-kickback fingers and lateral safety guard prevent the
operator from the dangers of workpiece kickback, ensure the operator’s safety
completely.

SELF LUBRICATION
The central lubrication system ensures a permanent oil film between feed chain
and guide track. If the oil in tank is below the safety level, the warning lamp
will light up and the feed chain will stop running automatically. This fully
ensures the service life of the feed chain and track.

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION
2-1 PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
To ensure optimum performance from your machine, the following checks should be
made before installation:
◎ Is there any damage to the package of the machine?
◎ Does the appearance of machine show any sign of having been hit after
opening the package?
If either of the above situations has been happened, please contact the local dealer
immediately. Let the qualified technicians manage this matter.
2-2 MOVING THE MACHINE
There are 2 ways to move the machine：
1. Firstly, remove the bolts which fixed the machine on the base of the crate.
Then, lift the machine up by using a strong cable or chain as shown below：
2. Pick up the machine from the bottom by a forklift of grade at least 2 tons.

SRS-12H MANUAL Chapter 2: Installation

2-3 FIX THE MACHINE IN POSITION
1. PROPER LOCATION FOR THE MACHINE：
◎ The floor must be strong enough to support the machine's weight as well as the
vibrations produced while it is running.
◎ The directions of feed workpiece in and out from the machine must not be facing
the area where people may be passing frequently.
2. LEVELING THE MACHINE：
Place a leveler on the top of feed chain blocks. According to the indication of
the leveler to adjust the height of 4 sets of foundation screws on the lower of the
machine until the axial tolerances of the X and Y axes are all within 0.3mm/m.
After complete the leveling process, be sure to re-tighten the foundation screws.
2-4 POWER CONNECTION
)The power source should be connected by a qualified electrician.
◎ All wirings must conform to international safety guidelines, choose a most
suitable size of cable subject to the voltage and mounting motors.
◎ A suitable breaker should be installed on the cable that between the main power
supply and the machine, so that the power supply to the machine can be shut off
when not in use.
◎ Check and confirm the machine is proper grounded while in use to protect
the operator from electric shock.
2-5 START-UP TEST
After the machine has been installed in accordance with the above regulations and a
check has been made to ensure that there is no obstruction surrounding the machine,
the following start-up test should be performed:
1) Be sure the power supply has been connected and check if the power indicator
lights up.

SRS-12H MANUAL Chapter 2: Installation

2) Press the sawblade START button to start the saw arbor. Make sure the saw
arbor is turning in counter-clockwise direction. If not, the operator must
shut off the power supply immediately. Exchange any two of cables and
rewire the machine, then start the saw arbor again. The green lamp of sawblade
START button will light up.
3) Make sure the machine can be started normally and then press the saw blade
STOP button to stop the running of saw arbor.

2-6 CONNECTION OF DUST COLLECTION
APPARATUS
The dust collection outlet is Ø100mm which can connect with one flexible tube of
caliber 4 inches. The air speed has to be higher than 25m/sec and the air
consumption can not be less than 700m3/h.

CHAPTER 3: OPERATION
3-1 INSTALLING AND REMOVING BLADES
1) Take out the “special open-end wrench” and “special offset wrench” from
tool box (see the picture below). Open the saw arbor cover. Use the
“special open-end wrench” to fix the saw arbor, then, take the hex. bolt off by
turning the “special offset wrench” in anticlockwise. Then, you can take off
the “lock washer” in order to install/remove saw blade.
2) Before install saw blade, the user has to make sure the diameter of saw blade
is correct (refer to the following drawing). Also, clean the contact faces of
saw blade, saw arbor and the lock washer with a clean cloth. Any wood
chips or foreign substances (objects) between them will cause sway and
vibration while the saw blade is running. These sway and vibration will
make the sawn wood imprecise, even cause the inaccuracy of machine.

SRS-12H MANUAL Chapter 3: Operation
13
3) Release “saw arbor locking lever”, then, raise the saw arbor by turning “saw
arbor height-adjustment handwheel” until it is up to the place for installing
thesawbladeonit.
* Notice: the direction of the sawblade teeth (refer to the above picture)!
4) Installed the saw blade and put the lock washer back. Then, fix the hex. bolt
of saw blade with the wrenches we mentioned at the step 1.
5) When saw blade is placed back, lower saw arbor till the sawblade teeth is
below feed chain by 0.5mm~1mm and then twist “clamp lever of saw arbor
rise/down” tight. (Notice: If lower the sawblade too much, it will both
damage feed chain and the sawblade teeth!)

SRS-12H MANUAL Chapter 3: Operation
14
In the case of sawblade removal, the user has to raise the saw arbor slightly at first
(same as the step 3). Raise the saw arbor for 3-5mm so that the sawblade teeth may
not be damaged while removal. Then loosen the hex. bolt of sawblade.
3-2 CHECKING SAFETY DEVICES
1) Close the saw arbor cover, check and make certain all limit switches and the
lateral safety guard are at the functional position. And, the top anti-
kickback fingers hang down in a row and point to the direction of feed chain,
also, can be lifted up smoothly. The bottom anti-kickback fingers can be
pressed down and lifted up smoothly when the fence moving on the table.
2) Make sure the electricity power is connected and the “power-on indicator”
lights up. Also, the emergency stop button does not be pressed.

3-3 RAISE/LOWER PRESSURE ROLLERS
ASSEMBLY
The height of pressure rollers ( *It is a complete assembly of pressure rollers and
housing, but we will only mention with pressure rollers in the following description. )
depends on how thick the to-be-cut wood is. First release “pressure roller locking
lever”, turn “pressure roller height-adjustment handwheel” (clockwise - UP,
anticlockwise- DOWN) till the rollers reach desired height. And then pull tight the
“clamp lever” to secure pressure rollers. Pressure roller height is read with an
indicator. (The scale reading is in fact 2~3mm lower than wood, in order to have
additional pressure on the wood.)
* For example：
Presume the to-be-cut wood is 50mm thick. The user should only adjust the
height of pressure rollers till the scale is indicated at the position of 47~48mm.
3-4 START SAW BLADE
Press “ saw blade start button” to start the saw blade
