HOW THE DAKE PARMA SXC OPERATES

5 DAKE/PARMA SXC
SXC ADJUSTMENT
ABLADE TENSION HANDLE – Used to remove and install saw blade. Also used to set
the correct blade tension – Be sure blade is tight.
B&C UPPER BLADE WHEEL CONT ADJUSTMENT – If your saw should get out of
adjustment and the blade runs off the wheel or runs back against the lip, loosen the two
bottom bolts on the wheel slide (B) Turn the set screw (C) in or out to make the blade
run approximately 1/32 ” away from the lip on the back of the wheel. Tighten the two
wheel slide bolts. IMPORTANT: If the blade is allowed to run against the lip on the
wheel it will wear the lip off.
D GUIDE BAR LOCK – Used to lock the roll guides in position.
E ROLL GUIDES – Should be adjusted so they clear your work by approximately ½”. This
will insure maximum blade rigidity.
F STOP CLAMP – Has two uses: 1) The stop clamp can be set for depth of cut. 2) The
stop clamp, if placed behind the neck, will lock the frame in a forward position for
contour work.
G ANGLE PLATE – Used to hold stock in place for cutting. Graduations are provided to
set angle cuts.
H C-CLAMP – Used mainly for round stock. Flat stock needs no clamping.
I COUNTERWEIGHT – Used to maintain the blade pressure you desire.
J HYDRAULIC CYLINDER – This should be adjusted to allow the frame to travel rapidly
but not free fall. This is a safety device and should be kept properly adjusted.

BLADE SELECTION
For operator convenience, a blade selector chart is located inside the saw cover. It
provides recommended blade speeds, required teeth per inch, and minimum cutting radius for
various blade widths. The following chart can be used to select the blade needed:
Standard Tooth Applications
Thickness of Material Teeth per Inch
Up to 1/8”
1/8” to 1/4"
1/4" to 1/2"
1/2" to 1”
1” to 3”
3” to 6”
6” and longer
18T
14T
10T
8T
6T-4T
4T-6T
3H
Note: 1) A minimum of 3 teeth into your work is required or blade damage will result.
2) For straight cuts, a 3/4" blade is best.
Blade Speed (Feet per minute)
To change blade speeds, bring the frame all the way forward. Lift the motor and
move the V-belt to one of the three speeds offered: 70, 140, 270, or 540. Refer to the
blade selector chart inside the cover on your SXC for the appropriate speed.
Blade Removal and Installation
To remove the blade, release the blade tension handle (A). Remove the blade.
To install blade, place the blade over the bottom wheel, then on the top wheel.
Teeth must point down toward the table. Tighten the blade tension handle enough to
hold the blade firmly in place, and the push the blade into the roller guides. Turn the
machine on to allow the blade to position itself, and then finish tightening the blade.
IMPORTANT: Blade must be tight to insure straight cut.
Please Note: The most common causes of the SXC not cutting straight are:
1) Blade tension is too low.
2) Blade is dull or worn on one side.
3) Blade was installed upside down. The teeth must point down toward the
table.
LUBRICATION
Gear Box Your SXC gearbox is filled at the factory. Check the fluid level on arrival,
and then check every six months thereafter. Use 90-weight gear lube to
maintain fluid level at the fill/check pipe plug.
Cylinder Keep the cylinder reservoir 1/2 to 3/4 full. Use light hydraulic oil to refill.
