UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

Unpacking

A: Remove box or shrink wrap. Carefully inspect the machine for any physical damage. If damage is noted, notify the
truck line at once. They may require an inspection and a claim to be filed.

B: Remove the metal banding that holds the machine to the skid.

WARNING!!!!!

The banding can be sharp and cause injury.

C: Check that all standard parts and optional accessories are with the machine. Some accessories may be located in

chip drawer or behind access doors. Each machine should include one blade, one gallon of coolant, tool kit, owner’s manual,
and saw pitch calculator.

D: Remove the machine from the skid. If using an over head hoist, place a sling (part “A” shown below) around the
gear box Put the sling (part “B” shown below) around the feeder portion of the machine. DO NOT PLACE SLING AROUND
THE FEED CYLINDER! The sling is to stabilize the machine while lifting, and is not intended for lifting a large load.

When lifting the 370 Semi-Automatic saw, use only one sling around the gear box. Always take proper precautions

when lifting these machines. If the machine slips or moves while lifting injury may occur. If a fork lift is used to move
the machine, make sure the weight is distributed evenly and the forks are all the way through before lifting.

E: Set the machine in the location where it will be operated. Make sure saw is located in such a way that it will not
interfere with surrounding equipment. The machine must not be in a location where unsafe working conditions may
exist.

F: Discard packing materials in a safe manner. Make sure all the accessories and literature have been removed.

Installation

A: Clean off all surfaces that have been greased or coated with rust inhibitor.

B: After machine is in place on a level flat surface, adjust leveling bolts located in the foot flange of the machine base.
Adjust the machine so that it does not rock from floor irregularities.

C: From the main power, source connects power to the machine. This power source must supply the machine with a
separate breaker of proper amperage. For a 220 volt machine a 20 amp service is recommended. For a 440 volt machine a

370 S 370 S L 370 PP 370 PP L

16 amp service is recommended. Machines are rated at +/-10%. The wires are connected to the terminal block inside the control
cabinet.

WARNING!!!!!

All electrical connections should only be made by a qualified electrician. Before turning on power,
check that all electrical components are in place. They may have come loose in shipping. If you have
any questions please call Dake or consult your electrician.

D: Locate the air regulator on the rear of the vertical column. With a quick disconnect or hard plumb air to the
regulator. It is recommended to have an emergency air shut off valve. Once all the fittings are secure, turn the air supply on to

the machine. The gauge should read at 90 PSI. If the reading is more or less adjust the regulator to 90 PSI.

Incoming air

from the air compressor must be clean and dry. Use all precautions and water traps as necessary.

E: If loading or unloading tables were ordered install them now. Make sure the tables are level and in precise
alignment with the feeder unit.

WARNING!!!!!

Failure to align tables and level to the correct height of the feeder may cause material to roll or
catch on other components.

Continuation of the set up is on page 9.

INSTALLATION OF THE BLADE

WARNING!!!!!

Before performing the following operations, the electrical supply must be LOCKED OUT.

Installing the blade (Ferrous head)

Open the Plexiglas cover. Open the magnetically latched blade guard. Remove the spindle flange bolt using the socket wrench
provided with the saw. (Standard threads) Remove the blade flange, and wipe the blade surface of the flange and spindle clean.
Carefully slide the blade up through the coolant distribution tubes. Take care not to bend these tubes. With a rolling motion of
the blade counter clockwise, push against the chip brush and slide blade over the spindle shoulder. Rotate the blade on the
shoulder to align the two large drive pin holes. Insert the flange pins through the drive pin holes and insert bolt, finger tighten at
this point. The back lash must be removed from the blade. This is done by pushing the blade against rotation, until it
bottoms out on the drive pins. (Push Downward) While holding the blade against the pins tighten the spindle bolt securely.

Failure to remove the back lash may result in blade breakage and personal injury!

BLADE INSTALLATION

A: Clean spindle and flange faces, so there are no chips on the faces.
B: Install blade on the spindle shaft shoulder, so the teeth are facing down, for clockwise rotation, and install blade
flange. Take care that you do not hit any machine parts with the carbide tips; this may affect the blade performance.
C: Screw the spindle bolt in finger tight
D: Holding the spindle shaft with the wrench tighten bolt securely.
E: Close blade cover.

WARNING!!!!!

Before performing the following operations, the electrical supply must be LOCKED OUT.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO CUT STEEL OR FERROUS MATERIALS WITH THE NON-FERROUS
HEAD INSTALLED. IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, OR FIRE!

CAUTION!!!!

USE CARE, CARBIDE TIPS ARE SHARP.

BLADE INSTALLATION

A: Clean spindle and flange faces, so there are no chips on the faces.
B. Remove item B using wrench d, put wrench D on shaft C. Then use wrench E to remove bolt F. (Left Hand
Threads).
C: Install blade on the spindle shaft shoulder, so the teeth are facing down, for clockwise rotation, and install blade
flange. Take care that you do not hit any machine parts with the carbide tips; this may affect the blade performance.
D: Screw the spindle bolt in finger tight
E: Holding the spindle shaft with the wrench tighten bolt securely.
F: Close and tighten blade cover.

NOTE: The blade pins may have been removed from your blade flange, to allow easier blade sizing, and safety. If you
reinstall the pins for carbide blade or HSS blade cutting, backlash must be removed from the blade while installing. See the
section on blade installation on page 0 of this manual.

Close the safety guard then turn on the power to the machine. Close the head feed control knob to the “0” setting. (
370PP Place the Automatic / Semi-Automatic switch in the Semi-Auto mode The hand symbol). Make sure head is in the up
position (making contact with the upper parameter limit, this limit is the bottom one). Place the speed selector switch on either
“1” or “2”. Press the start button (370PP the green button 370S the yellow button) and take notice of the blade rotation, to stop
the blade rotation press the emergency stop button.

If properly wired the blade will rotate: (in accordance with the arrow on the blade guard)
Ferrous Head in a Counter Clockwise direction
Non-Ferrous Head in a Clockwise direction
If rotation is incorrect consult your electrician.

Add coolant to the machine. Using the coolant supplied with your saw (or any water Soluble coolant concentrate) mix
per manufactures instructions (normally 10 to 1) in a container or bucket. Next pour the mixed coolant into the machine coolant
pan, which can be pulled outward to fill. With the machine in Semi-Auto mode, (be sure the head feed control knob is set at
“0”) press the start button. (With the 370PP you will have to push the yellow button after pushing the green button for the
coolant to come on). This will start the motor and the coolant will flow. The valve right above the blade guard on the right will
allow you to regulate the flow of coolant. This can be varied to the type of cutting you doing.

Do not use cutting oil in this machine!!!

Proper Blade Selection 370PP 370S

The most important decision you will make on your machine is selecting the Right Blade for the Material. The larger
the part, the more coarse of blade. The smaller or thinner the part the less coarse of bladeAn improper blade will sacrifice the
quality of cut, safety and blade life. When in doubt use the slide pitch calculator provided with the machine. If you are not sure,
do not hesitate to call DAKE for a recommendation.

Familiarize your self with all the warning labels

. Check with your safety committee on the proper lock

Take time now to familiarize your self with the control panel’s functions, using the graphic on

BLADE SELECTION SPEEDS AND FEEDS

Warning!!!!!!

Never use a blade that is cracked, dull, or missing teeth

Different blade types

There are many different grinds that can be put on a blade. A special grind may work for you. Call Dake for
information on these blades. Special coated blades are also available, such as cobalt. These blades can increase blade life
considerably on certain applications. The blade thickness can affect the way the blade will cut. A thinner blade may work better
for you if you are cutting thin wall tubing. The thinner blade has to remove less kerf, meaning the blade cuts less material, and
cuts faster without out distorting the tube. A thicker blade such as a 3mm is more rigid and will flex less cutting heavy material.
Each high speed steel blade can be reground up to about 20 times. If done properly.

CAUTION!!!!

Always have blades reground by a qualified professional. Always use blade with proper pin hole
spacing.

Speeds and feeds

The best way for determining this, is by sound, and chip appearance. With the proper blade the machine will cut
smooth and throw a curly chip. The chip should be shinny, curly, and cool to the touch. If the chip is bent into a curl, discolored
and/or hot, the feed rate may be too fast. If the chip is powdery or splintered the feed rate may be too fast, too slow or the
incorrect blade is being used. Rule of thumb, if it sounds good and the chips look good you have it set right.
