ASSEMBLING THE MACHINE
*picture may vary by model*
Fit the components supplied as indicated in the above diagram:
Part 1: Screw the trigger handle into the head (main casting) and use the provided nut to tighten
it firmly in place as shown in the picture.
Part 2: Screw the cut length stop rod into the right-hand side of the vise casting as shown in the
picture, use the provided nut to tighten firmly in place.
Part 3: Attach and align the work support bracket on the left-hand side of the saw base using
the two bolts provided
CHOOSING A BLADE
The saw will come with a “DAKE Saw Pitch Calculator” to assist in blade selection.
First the pitch of the teeth must be chosen, suitable for the material to be cut, according to these
criteria:
•Parts with a thing and/or variable section such as profiles, pipes, and plates, need fine
toothing, so the number of teeth used simulations cut.
•Parts with solids sections need wide spread toothing penetration.
•Material made of soft plastic, light alloys and mild bronze also require coarse toothing.
•If still unsure what blade to purchase contact your blade provider or DAKE.
