INSTALLATION
UNCRATING: Remove crating carefully. For ease in handling do not remove from skid until
machine has been moved to its approximate location.
LEVELING: Position machine level, shim under legs if necessary. Wet machines should be
more carefully leveled to be certain that the coolant intake remains submerged.
CONNECT INCOMING POWER TO THE STARTER PER APPLICABLE DIAGRAM, AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ALL LOCAL CODES.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN THIS SAW UNTIL THE BLADE ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN CHECK
AS PER THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND THE BLADE HAS BEEN PROPERLY RE-
TENSIONED.
OPERATION
FEATURES
OFF/ON Switch: Machines are equipped with a with low voltage, dropout protected
manual starter and a limit switch. When the machine frame reaches the end of its down
travel it contacts the limit switch, turning off the machine.
Blade Tension Handle: To keep blade at proper tension turn the screw handle until it is
at tight as possible. Check every 8 operating hours and retighten to compensate for
possible stretching of the blades. Consult your blade manufacturer for the proper PSI
tension.
Guide Arms: Guide arms should be set as close as possible to the work without
interfering. Loosen the handle on the left guide arm to slide arm along the top of the
frame, once in desired location tighten the handle to lock guide arm in place.
Hydraulic Control: The hydraulic control cylinder mounted on the rear of the machine is
operated by a control valve mounted on the front of the machine head. To close the
valve, turn the control to the right. When the valve is completely closed, the frame will
remain stationary, the desired position. To open the valve, turn the control left. Opening
of the valve will control the descending speed of frame (or head) and does not control
frame weight. This control is mainly used for cutting pipe or thin-walled tubing, structural,
etc., to prevent plunging of the saw blade.

985017/985018 8 REV122021
Stock Stop Guide: Consisting of a stock stop assembly and a mounting bar installed in
the tip-off block on front of the machine. The stop assembly can be moved along the bar
to indicate correct length for duplicate cuts. Stock stop rod has a cap screw in the end for
making fine adjustments. Rotate rod right to extend the rod into position in order
measure stock and turn left to retract the rod before cutting.
Vise: The vise can be positioned straight for a 90º cut or at any angle to cut at 45º. The
vise swivel jaw adjusts automatically to any position of the stationary jaw.
Vise Handwheel: Used to open and close the vise jaw, to do so the vise nut must be
fully engaged. Turn the handwheel counterclockwise to open the vise and clockwise to
close the vise.
Vise Quick Release: Consists of the vise half-nut, vise lift, lift handle and a sliding hold-
down block to which the swivel jaw is attached. To move the vise, lift on the lift handle
toward the front of the machine to disengage the vise nut from the vise screw; this allows
the swivel jaw to move freely. Move the lift handle towards the rear of the vise to engage
the vise nut when clamping.
BLADE SELECTION
Saw blades should be selected by choosing the blade that will give the best results at the lowest
cost. Type of material and the speed at which it must be sawed determine the choice. Listed
below are general factors affecting blade selection.
1. Blade Type
a. Carbon Steel – Can be used to cut all types of ferrous, non-ferrous and
composition materials except alloys containing high percentage of chrome and
nickel. Limiting factor: low resistance to heat.
b. Bi-Metal – Designed for cutting ferrous metals in production cut-off applications.
Developed to saw high alloy materials that cannot be cut economically by other
means. Can be operated at higher speeds and greater feed pressures than
carbon steel blades.
2. Tooth Style
a. Standard – Zero-degree rake angle and full round gullets. Best suited for cutting
ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
b. Skip Tooth – Basically the same as standard except for more widely spaced teeth.
Provides added chip room when cutting non-ferrous materials.

Dake Corporation
1809 Industrial Park Dr
Grand Haven, MI 49417
www.dakecorp.com
985017/985018 9 REV122021
c. Hook Tooth – Similar to skip tooth except teeth have positive rake. Effective in
sawing non-ferrous metals and large ferrous sections when heavy feed pressures
are required.
3. Tooth Spacing
a. Tooth spacing is determined by hardness of material and/or the cross-section.
The harder the material, the more teeth per inch. Thin cross-sections require more
teeth to avoid straddle. Rule: at least 3 teeth in contact with work.
4. Tooth Set
a. Raker – Most widely used. Consists of a repeated pattern of one tooth set left, one
right and one tooth straight. Recommended for production cutting where material
is of uniform size, shape, and type.
b. Wavy – Has groups of teeth set alternately to the left and to the right forming a
wave-like pattern. Used for cutting thin stock or where the work varies such as in
pipe, angles, channels, and extrusions.
BLADE REMOVAL
1. Raise frame a few inches above the bed and close feed cylinder valve to hold frame up.
2. Remove the necessary guarding and blade cleaning brushes.
3. Turn blade tension screw counterclockwise and pull the idle wheel toward the center of
the machine.
4. Push blade down, out of blade guides and remove blade from machine.
BLADE INSTALLATION
1. Raise frame a few inches above bed and close the feed cylinder valve to hold frame up.
2. Remove necessary guards and blade cleaning brushes.
3. Turn blade tension screw counterclockwise and pull idle wheel toward center of machine.
4. Grasp blade in center forming two loops. From rear of machine place blade loops under
wheels and rest the near portion on right front blade guard. CAUTION: BE SURE TO
WEAR GLOVES WHEN HANDLING BLADES.
5. Push blade up into blade guides. CAUTION: BE AWARE OF HYDRAULIC & COOLANT
LINES.
6. Fit blade up against flanges of the idle and drive wheels and tighten tension screw
enough to hold blade in place. Depress side of blade near rear blade guard to hold blade
on wheels while tightening tension screw.

985017/985018 10 REV122021
7. Check to see that the blade is positioned correctly and tighten screw. Consult blade
manufacturer for proper PSI tension.
8. Install blade cleaning brushes and guards that were removed earlier.
BLADE TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
- Saw blade should track on each wheel with the back of the blade up to, but not riding on
the wheel flange. Adjust as follows:
Idle Wheel
1. Open top cover on left end of machine to gain
access to idle wheel. Idle wheel is mounted on
a slide block, which contains the blade height
adjustment screws.
2. To raise the blade, loosen the two screws
toward center of machine (A, on right) one-half
turn and tighten the other two screws (B) one-
half turn. Be sure tension screw (C) is properly
tightened to not over adjust.
3. Check by running machine after each
adjustment.
To lower blade, reverse procedure – loosen screws
(B) and tighten screws (A).
Drive Wheel
1. To raise the blade, loosen two cap screws (A, on
right) and tighten screws (B and C). All four screws
must be turned equally and in small increments
(about ½ turn) to avoid over adjustment.
2. Check by running machine after each adjustment.
To lower blade, reverse above procedure – loosen
screws (B and C) and tighten screw (A).

BLADE GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
FRAME BALANCE SPRING ADJUSTMENT
- To check for proper balance spring adjustment, lift frame at by the handle with an
extension type scale (fish scale). The frame should weigh 12-15 pounds; if not, adjust by
turning the nut on the tension screw on bottom of spring.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Raise frame and close feed cylinder valve to hold frame in elevated position.
2. Loosen the vise nut and open the vise. Place work in vise and slide the vise swivel jaw
against the work piece. Engage the vise nut and tighten the vise screw to clamp the work
securely.
3. Slowly open feed cylinder valve and lower the frame until the blade is ½” to 1” away from
the work. CAUTION: IF THE BLADE SHOULD REST UPON THE WORK BEFORE
MOTOR IS STARED THE BLADE TEETH CAN BE DAMAGED. IF THE BLADE IS
DROPPED ONTO THE WORK THE BLADE MIGHT BREAK. MAKE SURE THE
BLADE IS PROPERLY BROKEN IN PRIOR TO CUTTING.
Note: The following instructions are for one guide
arm; procedure is same for both arms. Left hand
guide arm is shown to the right.
1. Loosen nut (A, on right) and turn eccentric axle (B)
until there is no light gap between rollers and
blade…do not pinch the blade. Tighten nut (A).
2. Vertical and radial adjustment is provided by the
clearance in the guide mounting holes (C). This
allows squaring of the blade to the bed and holding
the blade in the natural blade line.
3. Proper guide adjustment may require adding or
removing washer (shims) (D) for correct bearing
height (E).

985017/985018 12 REV122021
4. Move the adjustable guide arm as close as possible without contact to the work to provide
maximum blade rigidity.
5. Check the blade tension, adjust if needed. Consult blade manufacturer for proper PSI
tension.
6. Turn coolant valve on. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE WITHOUT
SUFFICIENT COOLANT IN TANK. COOLANT MUST BE WATER-SOLUBLE. DO NOT
USE OIL.
7. Check blade speed needed for material being cut. Refer to blade manufacturer for proper
speeds for materials.
8. To change blade speed, loosen thumbscrew on right end of machine and raise the pulley
guard. Move drive belt to proper grooves in both pulleys for desired blade speed (See
figure below), then replace the guard.
9. Start motor.
10.Open feed cylinder valve to the proper setting. “Proper” setting depends upon type of
material, hardness and thickness of stock and desired accuracy and finish. Soft materials
require less feed than hard materials. Thin cross-sections require less feed than solid
cross sections. Generally, reduced feed pressure will result in a straighter more accurate
cut.
