GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Failure to follow the safety rules and other basic safety precautions, may result in serious
injury.
Always use eye protection: When operating this machine, eye protection should be worn. Grind-
ing particles and the possibility of wheel breakage make eye protection necessary. Also face or
dust mask if operation is dusty. Use adequate ventilation.
Use ear protection: If operation is creating excessive noise.
Disconnect power: To machine when NOT in use.
Keep Clear: Of grinding wheels and pinch points when machine is running.
Don’t over reach: Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Saws are sharp: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when handling saw blades.
Mounting of wheels: Should only be done by persons with mechanical aptitude and good knowl-
edge of mounting, care, and inspection of grinding wheels. Wheels must be rated for the RPM of
the machine.
Dress properly: Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Nonskid foot wear is recommended. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
Avoid dangerous environments: Don’t use in wet location. Keep work area well lit. Do not use
this machine in the presence of flammable liquid or gasses.
Keep children away: Do not let VISITORS contact this machine.
Keep work area clean: Cluttered areas invite accidents.
All electrical covers: Must be in place before applying electrical power to this machine. Electri-
cal service must be locked out prior to removing any electrical covers on machine guards. Access
to electrical components must be restricted to trained personnel only to avoid possible electrical
shock.
Voltage greater: Than specified on name plate can result in serious injury to user.
Never stand on this machine: Serious injury could occur if the machine tipped or if the grinding
wheel is accidently contacted.
Follow safety precautions: For the wheels, coolant and material being ground. This information
is available on the Safety Data sheet for each of these products.

PRE SET UP
COOLANT
Coolant capacity is 7 to 10 gallons. A rust inhibiting grinding coolant MUST be used or severe
rust damage to machine can result. Mix coolant according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Coolant pump plugs into female receptacle on back door of the machine.
RUST DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY
MOUNTING GRINDING WHEELS
All grinding wheels must be rated for the RPM of this machine. Wheels exposed
to higher than rated RPM are dangerous.
Mounting of the grinding wheel should only be done by persons with mechanical aptitude
and good knowledge of mounting, care, and inspection of grinding wheels.

The useful life of this machine can be dramatically extended if the following
rules of operation are followed.
1. Clean the machine regularly.
2. A good rust inhibiting coolant must be used in the correct ratio. Too weak a mix will
cause rust problems and too thick will damage the paint and load the Diamond wheels.
3. Do not clean the machine with high pressure air or water. This can blow grit into the
internal parts of the machine and cause rusting problems which is not covered by warranty.
MAINTENANCE
DAILY 1. Check coolant level and filter.
2. Clean exterior of machine.
3. Check hydraulic oil level. (periphery grinder)
WEEKLY 1. Check coolant tank for carbide buildup.
2. Replace coolant filters.
MONTHLY 1. Grease index linear bearing.
or 100,000 CYCLES 2. Inspect feed finger for wear.
3. Inspect clamp jaws for wear.
4. Inspect roller hold down bearings.
EVERY 6 MONTHS 1. Inspect spindle drive belt.
or 500,000 CYCLES 2. Clean spindle motor fan.
3. Remove stainless splash guards and clean completely.
4. Inspect index system linear slide bearing assembly for
excessive clearance.
EVERY 24 MONTHS 1. Replace spindle drive belt and inspect pulleys.
or 1,000,000 CYCLES 2. Inspect pulleys for wear.

CONTROL PANEL
A. Control Joy Switch has 5 positions. Left for side #2 (Manual Finish Head In only), right for
side #1 (Manual Rough In only), down for Automatic #1 (Rough Grind only) up is for Automatic
#2 (Rough and Finish Grind only.) Machine must be running for these controls to work.
B. Saw Up / Saw Down only function when saw clamp is open. Index Forward / Reverse
only function when saw clamp is closed and machine is not running.
C. Tooth Counter only counts in the Automatic #2 position.
D. The Load Meter monitors the power required to grind with the periphery Heads. The Load
Meter is set by accessing the SET and the HYS screens.
The meter controls the set point which is a nominal amp draw with no grind load. The hystersis
is what established the amp draw during the grind, which suspends forward grind motion if
the Finish Head hits a tooth that is wider than expecxted, this load meter will slow the speed
as necessary to reduce the chance of wheel or saw damage.
E. Pull to start - Push to stop.
F. Indicator light shows power to machine.
G. Open position - Opens saw clamp jaws. Run position - Closes clamp jaws and allows the
machine to be started. When machine is not in use turn to Off position.

LOADING SAW
1. Turn Switch (G) to Open. Move Saw carrier Down by moving Switch (B) to Saw Down.
2. Place saw in carrier track. Move Switch (B) to Saw Up. As saw is traveling up through
the Clamp Jaws, make certain that the Index Fingers are over a gullet. Otherwise the fingers
and saw tooth may be damaged.
HANDS MUST BE KEPT CLEAR OF PINCH POINTS DURING THIS OPERATION
3. The band saw is in the proper position when the tooth is 1/8" above the Index Finger.
NOTE: The more accurate the height is set, less variation in Kerf will be experi-
enced. If the tooth is placed higher a wider Kerf will occur. If lower, a narrower Kerf
will occur.

LOADING SAW
SET UP (CONTINUED)
4. Tighten Band Saw Hold Down at each end of the Saw Clamp Bar. If too tight the index will
not be able to slide back, and if too loose the band saw will lift up when indexing.
5. After making sure the Index Finger is in the gullet, turn Switch (G) to Run. This will close
the Clamp Jaws. Move Joy Switch (B) to the left until a tooth passes the Index Finger. Then
allow Joy Switch (B) to return to center position.
6. At this time a saw tooth should be against the Index Fingers. If the index stroke is insuf-
ficient, adjust as shown on page 10
7. Set Tooth Counter (C) on the number of teeth to be ground.
8. Place Joy Switch (A) in center position, pull Start button.
9. After coolant flow is on tip, place Joy Switch (A) into Automatic #1.
10. The grinding head will travel down and grind a tooth. Set speed and stroke as neces-
sary.
11. Adjust In-Feed knobs as necessary on the grinding head to achieve desired finish kerf
width. Set speed and stroke as necessary.

TOOTH GEOMETRY
The W-1904 is set at what we consider AVERAGE tooth angles when it leaves
our factory.

30 Degree Hook - 8 Degree Back 3 Degree Tangential 3 Degree Radial
ROUGHING HEAD
30 Degree Hook 0 Degree Tangental 1 Degree Radial
NOTE: The Roughing Head must be set on 0 degree tangental.
If different angles are desired, adjust as follows.
RADIAL ANGLE
Loosen Radial Lock Bolts, move In-Feed handle up or down as necessary to
set desired radial angle. Radial scale reads in degrees.
TANGENTAL ANGLE
Loosen Tangental Lock Bolts and move Spindle Housing as necessary to set
desired tangental angle. Tangental scale reads in degrees.

INCREASE RADIAL ANGLE VS TANGENTAL ANGLE
Loosen bolts that attach head to base and rotate head using adjustment bolt.
INCREASE RADIAL AND TANGENTAL ANGLE
Loosen feed finger tower bolts and move tower to the right to increase both
angles. Move tower to the left to decrease angles. Rotating head clockwise
increases radial angle and decreases tangental angle. Rotating head counter-
clockwise increases tangental angle and decreases radial angle.
