• Some machines had tilt knobs instead of handles
but the procedure is still the same.

4. Close all bandwheel doors.

10

POST ADJUSTMENT

1. Post and upper saw guide elevation can be adjusted

to accept workpieces with heights varying up to 12
inches (304.8 mm) (standard work height) by means
of a handwheel located on the right side of the saw
head.

2. Post and upper saw guide can be adjusted by

turning the handwheel clockwise to "raise" the post
and upper saw guide, counterclockwise to "lower"
them.

3. Always keep the post and upper saw guide as close
as possible to the workpiece and the band guard in
place at all times while sawing.

WORKTABLE AND TILT ADJUSTMENT

1. The standard hydraulically powered worktable
measures 27.0 by 34.0 inches (685.8 by 863.6 mm)
with a table stroke of 12 inches (304.8 mm). Table
controls are mounted on the front column and has
feed range of 0 to 6 fpm (0 to 1.8 m/min.). Its load
capacity is 500 pounds (226.8 kg).

4. The worktable can be tilted manually up to 10º left
and 45º right primarily for sawing compound angles.
The amount of worktable tilt is indicated by a pointer
and a trunnion-mounted calibrated scale.

5. 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.

MIST COOLANT

1. Mist coolant uses plant air, a valve with sight glass
and a one (1) quart (0.95 liter) supply bottle mounted
on the rear side of the head.

 Themachinemust beboltedtotheoorfor

table loads over 100 pounds (45.4 kg).

2. The worktable is drilled and tapped on the right
side to attach accessory equipment. Its removable
center plate can be replaced with optional plates
for various options. The worktable also has two (2)

1/2 inch (12.7 mm) wide T-slots for tool and xture

mounting purposes.

Hydraulically Powered Worktable.

3. Two (2) adjustable work stops, located on the table's

left side, limit table travel. The front stop controls
the cut depth, the rear stop minimizes unnecessary

table travel. They can be adjusted by loosening the

lock nuts and slide the work stops to the desired
position.

Typical Mist Coolant.

2. Air and coolant are mixed in a manifold to form a ne
mist. Adjust the exible tube to direct mist stream

onto saw band and workpiece. Regulate mist with

adjustable valve at a rate of one drop per second

as seen through the sight glass.

3. Your DoALL Sales representative can provide
complete information on various coolants.

WHEEL BRUSH AND CHIP REMOVAL

1. A br u s h locat e d o n the lowe r b a ndwhe e l
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.

11

WHEEL BRUSH AND CHIP REMOVAL

(Continued....)

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.

3. See the "Maintainence" section of this manual for

cleaning and adjustment procedures.

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. Set the table work stops to desired cut depth and
table travel and lock in place.

3. If necessary, tilt the worktable to the desired angle
and lock it in place.

4. Load stock to be cut onto the worktable. Clamp the

stock if required.

5. Lower the post until the upper saw guide is just

above the stock, but NOT touching.

8. Turn the Feed Force and Table Speed knobs to
"0" or low settings. Then: (a) Position the saw
band to the starting point of the cut by moving the

Table Feed control to "forward" and turn the Feed
Force knob until the table is in position; (b) Turn the
Table Feed control to "FEED" and turn the Table
Speed knob slowly to move the saw band into the

workpiece.

9. Carefully move the stock toward the saw band and
begin the cut. Adjust the band speed and feed force

as necessary during the cutting procedure.

10. After the cut has been nished: (a) Turn the Band
Speed knob to its lowest speed; (b) Push the Drive
Stop button; (c) Remove the piece just cut from the

worktable; (d) Reposition the stock to begin another
cut; (e) Push the Drive Start button and then set
the band speed.

11. The following are important sawing precautions
which should be observed:

Reduce the feed force when cutting into an

opening to prevent saw band damage.

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.

Contour Sawing

1. Procedures for stock set-up and band speed
adjustment are the same as noted for production

sawing except that: (a) Contour sawing of large,
heavy stock may require the use of optional ball
transfer strips, work slides, etc. and a heavy gage
saw band; (b) The operator should use optional

Servo-Contour Feed for sawing intricate contours.

6. 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 Drive Start and Hydraulic Start buttons;
(c) Turn the Band Speed knob to the band speed

desired.

7. Before starting the cut, make sure to adjust the

mist coolant spray onto the saw band and cutting
area.

Starting Hole for Sharp Contour Cutting.

12

TYPICAL SAWING PROCEDURES

(Continued....)

2. 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.

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.

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.

Typical Procedure For Internal Contour Sawing.

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.

or rough operating vibration.

4. It is recom mended that you r eturn 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.

16

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. System pressure is factory set at 100 psi (6.9 bars).
A relief valve located above the hydraulic pump
is used to set the system pressure. A test station
port is provided for installation of a pressure gauge.
Hydraulic pressure will drop if dirt is lodged in the
relief valve.

Bleeding Air From The System

2. Replace the brush when necessary.

BAND DRIVE BELT

1. The drive belt may stretch slightly after initial
use. This stretch must be removed for proper
operation.

2. To replace the belt: (a) Loosen the bolts that mount
the motor to the bracket; (b) Slide the motor to the
left to release belt tension; (c) Remove the belt.

3. Install a new belt around the transmission and motor
pulleys. Then: (a) Slide the motor to the right to

tension the belt. Only slight deection of the belt

should be present at the center span of the belt;
(b) Tighten the motor mounting bolts.

4. Tension the belt by loosening the motor mounting
bolts, slide the motor to the right until correct tension
is obtained and then tighten the bolts.

MIST COOLANT

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.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

1. Keep the hydraulic tank full at all times. Drain and

clean the tank and lter after the rst month of

operation and then every six (6) months thereafter.
Filters are replaced at the same intervals. See the

6. Check for a loose post. Adjust the cover plate if

necessary.

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
volume to better lubricate the saw band.

3. The back-up bearing may need replacement.

4. Check for incorrect saw band tension setting.

5. Wheel brush is worn or not properly adjusted

causing chips to stay on the bandwheel.

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.

7. Check for a poor weld in the saw band.

2. Band speed is too high (this causes abrasion).

3. Saw band pitch is too coarse.

19

TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued....)

2. Check for a clogged coolant applicator nozzle.

4. Check for a light feed pressure setting. Increase if

necessary.

5. Coolant is not properly covering the saw band.

6. The cutting rate is too high.

7. Check for faulty material such as heavy scale,

inclusions, hard spots, etc.

8. Check for saw band vibration.

9. Check for chip welding, or for a chipped tooth lodged

in the cut.

10. Check for incorrect saw band tension setting.

11. Inserts are incorrect for the width of blade being
used. This allows the inserts to hit the set teeth
(liste n for clicking sounds during saw band
operation).

SAW BAND SLIPS OFF BANDWHEEL

3. Check for a clogged or kinked coolant hose.

4. Check for a clogged or damaged coolant control

valve.

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT STAY IN GEAR

1. Check for worn gears.

Tr a ns m i s s i o n r e p l a c e me n t , r e p a i r s ,

ACCESSORIES

The following are accessories sometimes

used during contour sawing operations. A
DoALL Sales representative will be happy to
advise you about the current availability of
any accessory.

DISC CUTTER

1. This attachment can be used to cut internal or
external circles from 2.50 to 30 inches (63.5 to 760.2
mm) in diameter. To set up the disc cutter:

• Place at washers under the mounting screws.

Then: (a) Bolt the mounting bracket to the post;
(b) Lower the post until the upper saw guide

is approximately 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) above the
worktable; (c) Loosen the ne adjustment and
arm clamp bolts; (d) Move the center pin to the
approximate distance of the radius to be cut; (e)

Tighten the ne adjustment clamp bolt.

UNIVERSAL CALIBRATED WORK FIXTURE

Set-Up for Straight Cut-Off

1. Place the xture on the worktable at the required

distance from the saw band. Then: (a) Loosely
install T-nuts and screws; (b) If necessary, align
the scale's zero (0) mark with the saw band, then
"zero" the pointer.

2. Place socket head screws loosely in the T-nuts
projecting up from below the back-up bar. Then:
(a) Place the T-nuts in the worktable T-slots; (b)
Slide the work xture's back-up edge to a distance

equal to the desired length of cut. Be sure to allow
enough clearance for positioning the stock.

3. Square the back-up bar to the worktable by aligning
one (1) movable workstop edge with the T-slot or
edge of the table sawing slot. Then: (a) Line up
the calibrated bar's "0" mark with the saw band; (b)
Tighten the socket head screws so that the back-up

bar is rmly anchored to the worktable.

Disc Cutter.

• Position the center pin so that it is perpendicular to

the saw band's cutting edge. To do so: (a) Place
a square against the tip of a sawband tooth; (b)
Loosen the vertical adjustment clamp bolt; (c) Line
up the center pin with the square's blade edge; (d)

Clamp the vertical adjustment clamp bolt.

• Make final radius adjustme nts with the fine
adjustment wheel. Then: (a) tighten the arm and

radius arm clamp bolts while making sure the center
pin is square to the table; (b) Adjust the disc cutter
for stock thickness by raising or lowering the post.

Universal Calibrated Work Fixture Set-Up for Straight Cut-Off.

4. Shift the movable workstop to one side of the saw
band. Then: (a) Run the worktable forward until
the front of the workstop passes the saw band; (b)
Move the workstop toward the saw band until its
edge barely touches the set teeth.

5. Close the locking lever to hold the workstop in
position. Then adjust the workstop pointer until it

lines up with the scale's "0" mark.

Set-Up for Angle Cut-Off

1. Loosen the left socket head screw. Next: (a)
Remove the right T-nut and screw from the back-up
bar; (b) Use a protractor or square to position the
back-up bar at the desired angle as measured to

screw.

21

UNIVERSAL CALIBRATED WORK FIXTURE

(Continued....)

2. Mount the collar on the right T-nut and fasten it to the
worktable (against the back-up bar) with the socket
head screw. Then: (a) Run the worktable forward
until the back-up bar barely touches the saw band;
(b) Set the workstop for the required stock length
dimension. The back-up bar scale is not used

for angle cuts.

3. Notch the back-up bar with the saw band to assure
being able to cut completely through the stock. Set
the worktable stop to limit travel to the length of
cut.

WORKHOLDING JAWS

1. This option is used for off-hand and contour
sawing. By looping a power feed chain around the

workholding jaws, the operator can use the cable

pulley system to guide stock along the contour
layout lines.

Be sure to use the correct saw band width

when cutting a radius.

Workholding Jaws.

Universal Calibrated Work Fixture Set-UP for Angle Cut-Off.

PROTRACTOR WORKSTOP and ALIGNMENT

1. To set up this unit: (a) Lock the slide bar into the
worktable T-slot so that the miter head clears the
saw band; (b) Release the clamping handle to

adjust the miter head for angle cutting between 0°
and 45°.

WORKLIGHT

1. The worklight illuminates the cutting area and areas
nearby and is controlled by an "on/off" switch on the
lamp.

MAGNIFIER

1. Magnifing the cutting area may prove helpful
during delicate sawing procedures. This is done

by placing a magning lens around the shade of

the worklight.

2 . A protective lens cover should be placed around

the magnier to prevent scratches when not being

used.

BAND BREAK SWITCH

1. Stops the lower bandwheel automatically when a
saw band breaks and the band tension mechanism
activates a limit switch stopping the band drive
motor.

Protractor Workstop and Alignment Gage.

2. Adjust for the desired cut length by loosening the

gage rod thumb screw. Then: (a) Slide the rod to
the desired position; and (b) Tighten the thumb
screw.

POINT OF OPERATION GUARD (Spark Guard)

1. Attaches to the post or saw band guard, this guard
protects the operator from sparks that may be
produced by certain materials being cut.

22

DUST SPOUT

Insert-Type Saw Guides

1. This option is located just below the worktable on

the right side of the machine frame near the lower
saw guide and attached to a collection system for
disposal of chips and other waste materials.

BANDWHEELS

1. Your machine may be equipped with anged metal

face or center crowned rubber tired bandwheels
instead of the standard rubber faced flanged
bandwheels.

EXTRA WORK HEIGHT

1. The factory installed extra work height allows
maximum cutting capacity up to 30 inches (762.0
mm). Machines with this option have an auxiliary
post support , plus a slightly different frame
weldment, post guarding, and post elevating
handwheel from those shown else where in this
manual.

18" (457.2 mm) STROKE WORKTABLE

• High speed, heavy-duty saw guide blocks are for
band speeds up to 6000 fpm (1830 m/min).

High Speed Saw Guides (Standard)

• Saw guides with steel or carbide-faced back-up
bearings with saw band widths of 1/16 to one
(1) inch (1.6 to 25.4 mm) can be used with this
machine.

1. This factory-installed hydraulic powered worktable
has a 18 inch (457.2 mm) stroke instead of standard
12 inch (304.8 mm) stroke. The table's working
surface is 26.5 by 39.5 inches (673.1 by 1000.3
mm).

DBW-15 BUTTWELDER

1. Information covering blade welding, plus operation
and maintenance of the optional DBW-15 Buttwelder

(with ash grinder and blade shear) are provided

in a seperate instruction manual included with the
machine.

BAND LUBRICATOR

1. See the instructions sent with the unit for information

on operation and adjustments.

OPTIONAL SAW GUIDE BLOCKS

1. It is possible to equip the machine with heavy-duty,
insert-type saw guides or roller saw guides.

Heavy-Duty Saw Guides With Steel or Carbide-Faced Back-Up Bearing.

Roller Saw Guides

• Type II roller saw guide blocks use 1/4 to one (1)
inch (6.4 to 25.4 mm) saw bands and are for band
speeds up to 6000 fpm (1830 m/min).

Type II roller saw guide blocks reduce the work

height capacity by one (1) inch (25.4 mm) and
restricts right table tilt to 27°.

23

OPTIONAL SAW GUIDE BLOCKS

(Continued....)

Type II Roller Saw Guides.

2. Roller saw guides are adjusted as follows:

• Select the rollers which match the width of saw band
to be used. Next: (a) Place one (1) back-up roller

(has a rear ange) and one (1) side roller in upper

guide block; (b) Place one (1) back-up roller and
one (1) side roller in the lower saw guide block in
opposite position of the upper guide; (c) Attach the
upper roller guide to the post and the lower roller
guide to the keeper block.

• In "MANUAL", the foot switch is disconnected and
standard operation is active.

• In the "CONTOUR" setting, the foot switch operates

the table in "FORWARD" or "REVERSE" settings of
the table feed control valve at controlled feed rates
set by the operator.

• The "PRODUCTION" setting operates the table at

controlled forward feed rate but with a fast table
return stroke.

3-Way Foot Switch.

3. The foot switch is connected to the machine by a

exible cable so that it can be located at operator's

convenience.

• Pressing the left pedal or "FORWARD" moves the

table forward when the table feed control valve is
in the "FEED" position.

• Place the saw band over the upper and lower

bandwheels. Next: (a) Adjust the saw band tension;
(b) Loosen the roller lock screw; (c) Bring the

rollers toward the saw band by turning the eccentric
bearing shaft with a screwdriver. The rollers should

be just free enough to turn without moving the saw

band.

The bearings will overheat if the rollers are

too tight against the saw band. Conversely,
rollers that are too loose may cause the saw
band to wobble and affect cutting accuracy.

• Tighten the roller lock screws to prevent the
eccentric shaft from turning and changing the roller

adjustment.

FOOT SWITCH (3-Way)

1. Many sawing operations are made easier by using
a table feed foot control. The foot switch has

"FORWARD", "REVERSE" and "STOP" positions

and a selector switch mounted on the control box
above the standard controls with "MANUAL",

"PRODUCTION" and "CONTOUR" settings.

2. The selector switch enables the operator to select

the table feed mode best suited for the job.

• Pressing the right pedal or "REVERSE" will reverse

table direction when the table feed control valve is
in the "FEED" position.

• Re l ea s i n g e i t he r f oo t p ed a l st op s t ab l e
movement.

FULL CYCLE OPTION

1. This factory installed option allows a full cycle
operation of the sawing sequence.

2. A selector switch on the control box with "MANUAL"

and "AUTOMATIC" setting determines the operating

mode. There is also a pilot light indicating that auto
cycle is running.

3. To operate: (a) Preset the band speed, feed rate
and cut depth and table return proximity switches;

(b) Position stock to be cut and clamp; (c) Push

BOTH Cycle Start buttons located on the left and
right sides of the table; (d) Table feeds through
the stock until it trips the proximity switch and then
returns to "HOME" position; (e) Saw band stops and
the operator can then relocate the stock for the next
cut.

24

LASER LINE GENERATOR OPTION

To avoid eye damage, DO NOT stare into the

laser beam.

1. A laser devise is used to emit a line on the material
to be cut. This line shows the approximate spot
where the cut will take place.

2. The devise is controlled by a selector switch with
"ON" and "OFF" settings and is located on or near
the control panel. Turn the laser "OFF" when not
in use.

3. The laser is adjustable to position the laser beam

where desirable.

4. When the laser is turned on, a warm-up period of
3 to 5 seconds take place before a line appears. If

the line is difcult to see, darken the work area to

enhance the line.

5. Remove the protective shipping cap from the laser
devise before operation. Replace the protective
cap when not in use.
