Daito saw

[rpgfire88]

Hello garage journal I was looking for some help with this Daito GA 260w horizontal saw. Currently the saw powers on, but I cannot raise the saw blade, I am not sure what I am missing. I have tried to reach out to the person who sold it to me, but have not heard back yet. I did see the saw working when I bought it, but I seem to be missing something. I cannot get the hydraulic clamp to close but do hear a clicking when I push the controller. I also tried to buy the manual, but that seems to be a dead end also. Not sure if this saw needs air but I did see two fittings in the 3rd photo. Let me know if you need any Information, thanks in advance for the help. I will be on again tomorrow morning at 10am.

I'm not familiar with that saw, but I would bet there is a pneumatic cylinder lift involved. Hook up some air and lift with the touch of a button.
Edit, I just noticed the lift cylinder in the next to last photo.

That’s a good point.

It'd be a miracle if someone here could dig up a schematic, but it’s happened many times before. This place in its members pull off rockstar moves all the time.

I hooked up some air to these two fitting and saw some movement in the hydraulic clamping system, but then the front cover started leaking so I will be draining the fluid and remaking the gasket and going from there, not sure how much psi it will need? Thanks for your help
