2518.0 TroubleshootingFault Probable Cause Suggested RemedyExcessive bladebreakage Incorrect blade speed or feed rate. Check Machinery’s Handbook forspeed/feed appropriate for the materialbeing cut.Teeth too coarse for material. Check Machinery’s Handbook forrecommended blade type.Incorrect blade tension. Adjust hydraulic setting for proper bladetension.Blade rubs on wheel flange. Adjust blade tracking.Misaligned guides. Adjust guides.Cracking at weld. Blade requires longer annealing cycle.Premature blade dulling Blade teeth too coarse. Use a finer tooth blade.Blade speed too fast. Reduce blade speed.Inadequate feed pressure. Increase feed rate.Hard spots in workpiece or scale on/inworkpiece.Increase feed pressure (hard spots).Reduce speed, increase feed pressure(scale).Work hardening of material. Increase feed pressure.Insufficient blade tension. Increase tension to proper level.Bad cuts (out-of-square) Workpiece not square with blade. Make sure vise is square with blade. Workmust be clamped tightly in vise.Feed pressure too fast. Decrease feed pressure.Guide bearings not adjusted properly. Adjust guide bearing clearance to 0.001inches (0.002 inch max.).Inadequate blade tension. Gradually increase blade tension.Span between the two blade guides toowide.
