Parkanson Powered Hacksaw
G’day everyone I’m wondering if anyone has a manual for this Parkanson powered hacksaw? If you have one of these more modern ones what speed is it running at roughly?
You can see it running here https://youtu.be/knXdlCh65F8

I have the same machine. I'm restoring it. Came with 3 phase motor, so I'm installing a VFD to run of 240 single phase. The hydraulic lift seems very worn, but the rest looks in very restorable condition. So, some work needed to re-manufacture the pump/lift mechanism. Someone has replaced the coolant pump with a stand alone 240v unit, so that's not a problem.
To your question...sorry I don't have a manual. I searched on line and found very little on this model.
Damn good looking saw, I reckon. Strong and should cut straight. Looking forward to finishing the resto and putting her into service.
Cheers, Tony

I had one for a while, but sold it last year when I got my big horizontal bandsaw.
Here's mine running https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHEMVzLvJjM
Looks to be about the same speed as yours.

Nothing to say that mine is turning the right way. It was definitely cutting on the pull stroke and lifting on the return (push stroke). That was how I connected the motor up - definitely worked well but I’m not sure if it’s “correct”.

My PHS is almost identical to yours (hydraulic lift cylinder looks a little more beefy on mine). Works great but I still need to put a seal of some sort on the lift plunger. Mine runs the same speed as all of yours. Cannot recall if it cuts on the push or pull stroke.
I have a thread on here somewhere with the plumbing of the hydraulics if that helps.

I have the same machine, it has 3 phase motors for the main motor and coolant pump.
Mine cuts on the push stroke.
