ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Safety Standards for electrical connections
Check that the electric supply system to which the machine is to be connected is grounded in
accordance with the relative safety regulations in force.
• Check that the power supply system is equipped with a circuit breaker to protect all
conductors from short circuit overloads.
• Before connecting machine to the electrical system, check that the main voltage
matches the voltage indicated on the machine itself.
• Once connected, to avoid any possible residual risks of tripping and falling, make sure
that the power supply cable lies completely on the ground and is not at any point
raised in the air.
• The saw’s electrical system is fitted with a device which automatically opens the circuit
if the voltage drops below the minimum set limit and inhibits automatic reset of
operating conditions when the voltage returns to the set rated levels.
• Should the machine suddenly cut out there is no cause for alarm. Check that there has
not been a voltage failure in the main supply.
ADJUSTMENTS
Blade configurations, speeds and feeds and cutting pressure recommendations are printed on a
label affixed to the motor housing.
• Put the machine is safe conditions (see “GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS”).
• Wear protective gloves.
• At the end of every adjustment operation, check that all fasteners are securely tightened.
• At the end of every adjustment operation make sure no tools have been left on the
machine.
ADJUSTING BLADE TENSION
Machine with clutch: turn the handwheel (2) clockwise until the clutch engages and clicks.

USE AS A MANUAL CUTTING SAW
The cutting head must be raised to the maximum up position then brought down to un-lock
the head lock feature. Do not force the head down as this may damage the saw.
1. Secure the workpiece to be cut in the vise using the vise adjusting screw (12) or quick
release lever (14).
2. Press button (located in the handle grip1) to start the blade.
3. Lower the cutting head slowly until it comes into contact with the workpiece
To avoid breaking the blade, reduce pressure as soon as the blade comes into
contact with the workpiece.
4. Complete cutting until you break through the cut.
5. Release the button to stop work.
6. Lift the head as far as it will go.
• Never bring hands anywhere near the cutting area until the blade has stopped and head
has been raised to its full height.
• Let the cut piece fall onto the base of the machine. Do not grab the cut part.
• In the event of excessive cutting pressures, the current limiter will trip, back off the cutting
pressure to safeguard the machine and operator.
USE AS AN AUTONOMOUS CUTTING SAW
The cutting head must be raised to the maximum up position then brought down to un-lock
the head lock feature. Do not force the head down as this may damage the saw.
1. Secure the workpiece to be cut in the vise using the vise adjusting screw (12) or quick
release lever (14). Set your cutting pressure as described above.
2. With the cutting head at its maximum height carefully lower the cutting head until the
blade is approx. 1/4” above the workpiece.
3. Activate the trigger switch and trigger lock located in the hand grip to start the cutting
process.
4. Lower the blade onto the workpiece and let go of the handle and it will cut the part
5. automatically. When cut is finished, the blade will automatically stop.
6. When the cut is finished, and the saw shuts off, raise head all the way up to lock it then
remove the cut part.
This saw is equipped with an emergency stop button (15). In case of a problem while
autonomous hands-free cutting, this button can be pushed to stop all the saws functions.

MAINTENANCE - STORAGE - ASSISTANCE - DISPOSAL
Routine maintenance operations which can be performed by the user are described
below.
Have the machine repaired by qualified personnel only. This machine complies with all the
relevant safety prescriptions. Repairs to the machine must be carried out by skilled personnel
only using original spare parts. Failure to observe this recommendation could jeopardize user
safety.
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE WORK THE MACHINE MUST BE
DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE AND LOCKED OUT.
REPLACING SAW BLADE
Tools required: Appropriate hex keys and/or screwdrivers are needed to replace the blade.
Check the rotation of the used blade. Notice arrow direction on the head frame.
Use of used blades is not recommended.
Check the compatibility of the NEW blade for the saw. Only use a blade with a thickness
between .025” and .035”.
The characteristics of the blade must be compatible with the technical specifications.
The SE-5X6 RCT has reverse cutting technology and the teeth of the blade points forward
and rotates toward the front of the saw. If the blade is not welded for reverse cutting
technology, a standard blade that is reversed and inside out will also work. CAUTION
must be taken when reversing the blade and is not recommended for safety.
1. Loosen the blade guide handle and slide the blade guides towards the center of the of
the cutting head. Lightly tighten the handles
2. Remove the rear blade cover by unscrewing the 6 thumb screws. Remove cover and put
it safely out of your way.
WHEN THE BLADE COVER IS OPENED, THE BLADE MAY JUMP OUT.

Dake Corporation

983107-1 17 REV122021
3. Turn the handwheel (2) counter clockwise to loosen and facilitate removal of the blade;
4. First remove the blade from the blade wheels and then from the blade guide bearings.
5. Remove and clean any chips or debris using a small brush.
6. Install the new blade.
7. Make sure, by means of a visual inspection, that the blade is installed with the teeth
pointing in the direction indicted by the arrow on the machine; (Forward) Tighten the
blade tensioning handle lightly.
8. Mount the blade cover by tightening the 6 thumb screws.
9. Turn the handwheel (2) clockwise to tighten blade until the clutch clicks.
TO GET OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR BLADE, CARRY OUT THE BREAK-IN
PROCEDURE. ALWAYS BREAK-IN THE BLADE USING THE BLADE MANUFACTURES
BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS. IF UNAVAILABLE THESE STEPS WILL PROVIDE
GENERIC BREAK-IN PROCEDURES.
Start out making three cuts, putting only a light pressure on the workpiece.
Light pressure: as an example, consider an operation to cut a solid steel bar (e.g. C40, D .2”
dia). This should be cut in about 4 minutes. Once the blade has been broken-in the same
workpiece can easily be cut in about 2 minutes.
LUBRICATION / COOLANT
The machine does not need lubricating / coolant.
CLEANING
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment (e.g. safety glasses, etc.).
• Avoid using compressed air.
• Keep saw and surrounding areas clean from debris.
