3. T h e f o l l o w i n g a r e o p e r a t o r t e n s i o n i n g
recommendations:
• Reduce the recommended band tension when
using saw bands with a coarser pitch or lighter
gage.
• Increase the recommended band tension when
using heavier gage saw bands.
Saw Band Tracking
1. The upper bandwheel can be tilted a maximum of
three (3) inches (76.2 mm) forward and backward
to help obtain correct saw band tracking. A saw
band is tracking properly when the saw band
center follows the center of both crowned rubber
bandwheel tires.
2. The following tracking procedures are to be
performed with the band drive motor off and the
transmission in "neutral": (a) Open both bandwheel
doors; (b) Manually turn the bandwheels to observe
how the saw band is tracking.
Tilt Adjustment Handles.
3. To adjust bandwheel tilt if tracking is not correct:
(a) Loosen the tilt lock handle; (b) Turn the tilt
adjustment handle until the saw band tracks
correctly on the bandwheel tires; (c) Retighten the
tilt lock handle.
4. Close both bandwheel doors.

Worktable.
2. The worktable can be tilted manually up to 10° left
and 45° right primarily for sawing compound angles.
The amount of worktable tilt is indicated by a pointer
and a trunnion-mounted calibrated scale.
3. To tilt the worktable: (a) Use the wrench provided
to reach through the machine frame and under
the worktable to loosen the tilt locknut; (b) Tilt
the worktable manually until the pointer reaches
desired angle shown on the scale; (c) Tighten the
tilt locknut.
4. The worktable is drilled and tapped on three (3)
sides to attach accessory equipment. Its removable
center plate can be replaced with optional plates for
band ling and band polishing and other various
options.
WHEEL BRUSH AND CHIP REMOVAL
1. A brush, located on the lower bandwheel
approximately in the ten (10) o'clock position, cleans
metal chips from the bandwheel during machine
operation. Removed chips drop into a removable
pan in the machine base. This pan should be
emptied periodically.
DO NOT open the bandwheel doors until saw
band has completely stopped.
2. During operation, chips and other depris may
accumulate around such machine areas as saw
guides, worktable surfaces, bandwheels, slides,
etc. Remove this debris as soon as possible. The
DoALL Company recommends removing chip
collections at least twice per each eight (8) hour
shift, and more often with heavier use.
TYPICAL SAWING PROCEDURES
Set-Up
1. These procedures assume that the following
machine conditions exist: (a) The machine has
been properly installed and aligned; (b) The band
drive motor is off; (c) The proper saw band has been
installed, is correctly tracked and tensioned; (d) All
lubrication procedures have been carried out.
Procedure
1. Raise the post high enough so that the upper saw
guide can not be damaged while stock is being
loaded onto the worktable.
2. Tilt the worktable to the desired angle and lock it in
place.
3. Load stock to be cut onto the worktable. Clamp the
stock if necessary.
4. Lower the post until the upper saw guide is just
above the stock, but NOT touching.
5. Determine the band speed range and desired band
speed for the procedure to be undertaken. Then:
(a) Use the transmission gear shift lever to choose
between "high" and "low" band speed ranges; (b)
Push the Band Start button; (c) Turn the Band
Speed knob to the band speed desired.
6. Carefully move the stock toward the saw band and
begin the cut. Adjust the band speed as necessary
during the cutting procedure.
7. After the cut has been nished: (a) Turn the Band
Speed knob to its lowest speed; (b) Push the Stop
button; (c) Remove the piece just cut from the
worktable; (d) Reposition the stock to begin another
cut; (e) Push the Band Start button and then set
the band speed.
Contour Sawing
1. Procedures for stock set-up and band speed
adjustment are the same as noted for production
sawing except that contour sawing of large, heavy
stock will require the use of optional air-operated
power feed or air-powered worktable and a heavy
gage saw band.
2. The following are important contour sawing
precautions which should be observed:
Reduce the feed force when cutting into an
opening to prevent saw band damage.
WORKTABLE AND TILT ADJUSTMENT
(Continued....)

11
DO NOT feed work so rapidly that saw band
twisting or bowing occurs.
For future reference, keep a record of band
speed, feed pressure and coolant application
settings for successful jobs.
3. A hole is usually drilled in the stockpiece when a
sharp corner is to be cut, as shown in the illustration.
However, a corner may also be by-passed by cutting
a curve, and leaving the remainder to be notched
out later.
Starting Hole for Sharp Contour Cutting.
Internal Contours
1. To prepare for internal contour sawing: (a) Drill a
starting hole in the stock; (b) Run the saw band
through the hole; (c) Weld the saw band. Insulate
the saw band from contact with the stock or the
worktable will insure a better weld.
Internal Contour Sawing.
TYPICAL SAWING PROCEDURES
Continued....)
2. The diameter of the drilled starting hole is determined
by the size of the saw band being used. Use the
widest possible saw band for cutting the curve.
3. Attempting to cut too small a radius with too wide
a saw band will cause binding, and the lower
bandwheel may become grooved. The chart on
the Job Selector shows minimum radii cuts possible
with various saw band widths.
4. Radii chart recommendations are based on sawing
relatively thin stock. Consider these variations: (a)
Use a heavy gage saw band for heavy stock sawing;
(b) Use a narrower than recommended saw band
when sawing stock more than one (1) inch (25.4
mm) thick.

1. Wipe oil onto the post occasionally. Then move the
post up and down through the slide block several
times.
2. Oil the upper bandwheel slide and band tension
screw each month.
3. Wheel bearings are sealed and lubricated for life.
TRANSMISSION
1. Drain, ush, and rell the transmission yearly. Fill
to the bottom of the check plug opening with oil
recommended by the Lubrication Chart.
Checking Oil Level.
2. Check often for seal leaks around the shaft.
3. Immediately investigate any loud or unusual noises,
or rough operating vibration.
4. Return a faulty transmission to the factory for
repair.
Correct new transmission installation is
extremely important because careful alignment
is necessary. Installation by a DoALL service
representative is highly recommended.
WHEEL BRUSH
1. Check the lower bandwheel brush occasionally for
correct position. Adjust the brush so it just touches
the bandwheel tire.
Too much pressure of the brush will score the
bandwheel tire.
2. Replace the brush when necessary.
MACHINE CLEANING
Stop the machine when cleaning the machine
or opening bandwheel doors or covers.
1. Keep the machine and its parts as clean as possible
to prevent excessive wear and damage.

2. Remove the chip pan and dispose of the chips when
necessary.
3. Metal chips and other waste materials may
collect around areas such as: saw guides,
table surface, T-slots, bandwheels, slides, etc.
Remove these materials as soon as possible. The
DoALL Company recommends removing chip
collections at least twice per each eight (8) hour
shift, and more often with heavier use.
BAND DRIVE BELT
1. The belt driving the input sheave will stretch during
use. This stretch should be taken up by moving the
drive motor on its mounting plate.
2. To replace the belt: (a) Loosen the screws that
mount the drive motor and slide the motor to the
left; (b) Slip the old belt from the pulleys and install
the new one; (c) Slide the drive motor to the right
to tighten the belt so there is very little deection of
the belt; (d) When correct belt tension is acheived,
tighten the screws.
MIST COOLANT
1. Intermittent coolant stream indicates an air leak.
Check all joints.
2. Clogging may occur if waxed-based or other
coolants are used. Your DoALL sales representative
can provide complete information about various
coolants.
3. Keep the mist applicator nozzle and lter clean.
If the center nylon coolant tube needs replacing,
remove the entire applicator tube. Insert new nylon
tube and trim off excess ush with nozzle. Make
sure all joints are sealed and tight after applicator
tube is reinstalled.
BAND MIST LUBRICATOR
1. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance instructions
for the lubricator. These instructions are located in
a pocket inside the electrical box enclosure.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Repair and adjustment procedures should be
made by experienced maintenance personnel,
or by a DoALL service representative.
Reference to the machine's electrical
schematic will be helpful.
MACHINE WON'T START
1. Make sure the disconnect switch is in the "ON"
position.
2. Make sure the bandwheel doors are closed.
3. Circuit breakers may have tripped.
4. Make sure the Emergency Stop pushbutton is reset
(turn the button head clockwise).
5. Check the overload reset on the drive motor starter.
Starting and stopping the machine a number of
times in quick succession, or an overload, will trip
the starter overload switch. Locate and correct the
trouble, then push the overload reset switch.
6. Check the transformer for faulty operation.
MACHINE VIBRATION
1. Check for unbalanced bandwheels.
2. Check for worn or unbalanced band drive belts.
3. Check for an incorrectly shimmed machine base.
SAW BAND VIBRATION
1. Incorrect band speed or feed force is being used.
2. Choice of blade pitch is incorrect.
3. Stock is not being clamped rmly to the worktable
and/or optional vise jaws.
4. Check for worn or improperly adjusted saw guide
inserts.
5. Check for a worn saw guide back-up bearing.
6. Check for a loose post. Adjust the two (2) spring
plungers if necessary.
7. Check for a poor weld in the saw band.
8. Check for an incorrect saw band tension setting.
SAW BAND IS CUTTING INACCURATELY
1. Check for worn blade teeth. Inserts that are too
wide for the blade will damage the teeth set.
2. Check for scale on the stock.
3. The saw band may be too wide if a radius is being
cut.
4. Check for incorrect saw band, post or insert
alignment.
5. Incorrect band speed or feed force is being used.
6. Coolant (if supplied) is not being applied evenly to
both sides of the saw band.
7. Check for an incorrect saw band tension setting.
8. The upper saw guide is not located close enough
to the stock.
9. Check for worn or loosely-adjusted saw guide
inserts.
EXCESSIVE INSERT AND BLADE WEAR
1. Inserts or roller saw guide are adjusted too tightly
on the saw band.
2. High band speed is causing friction (using roller
saw guides may be adviseable). Increase coolant
(if supplied) volume to better lubricate the saw
band.
3. The back-up bearing may need replacement.
4. Check for incorrect saw band tension setting.
PREMATURE BLADE TEETH DULLING
1. The saw band is not being "broken" in on the rst few
cuts. Reduce the feeding pressure when making
these cuts.
2. Band speed is too high (this causes abrasion).
3. Saw band pitch is too coarse.
4. Coolant (if supplied) is not properly covering the
saw band.
5. The cutting rate is too high.
