claim procedures.

CLEANING

1. If necessary, use solvent to remove the rust­preventative coating applied to the machine's
exposed bare metal surfaces before shipping.

LIFTING

Never lift the machine by its sawing head.

MACHINE INSTALLATION

1. There are two (2) parts to the machine: the machine
base and the indexer. The machine base is installed

rst and leveled before the indexer.

2. Before placing the machine down, install one (1)
M20 leveling screw and nut into each base foot
pad. Then: (a) Adjust the six (6) leveling screws
to extend an equal distance through the mounting
pad - approximately one-half inch (12.7 mm); (b)
Tighten the jam nuts; (c) Just before lowering to the

oor, place a foot casting under each leveling screw

Now lower the machine in the desired location.

3. Remove the bracket holding the saw head to the
base. Save this bracket for use in case machine

relocation becomes necessary at a future
date.

4. Place a machinist's level on the vise bed. Then

adjust the leveling screws until the vise base wear
plates are level in both directions and weight of

the machine is resting evenly on all mounting

adjustment screw clockwise until the xed and the
movable inserts are tight against the saw band (do
not tighten further); (b) Turn the adjustment screw
back counterclockwise a 1/4 turn.

Band Tension

1. Band tension is factory set and will not need
adjusting for some time. Tension is applied by a
selector switch which is located above the drive
bandwheel door.

2. A new saw band will stretch as it is being used. For
this reason, it is advisable that the operator checks
the band tension frequently.

15

SAW BAND PREPARATION (Continued....)

SAW GUIDE ARM ADJUSTMENT

1. Remove the old or broken saw band as described in

the previous section. Clean metal chips and other

foreign materials and debris from around the saw
guides and both bandwheels.

2. Form the saw band into one large loop. Then: (a)
Slip the saw band under the saw guide arms and
into approximate position for placement; (b) With
the saw band's teeth facing away from you, slip
the looped saw band around the drive and idler
bandwheels.

3. Turn the Band Tension selector switch to "ON" and
then to "HOLD" to have just enough tension to keep
the saw band in place and that adjustments can be
made.

Band Twist Tool.

4. Using the band twist tool, twist the saw band 90°
so that its teeth between the saw guide arms point
down and to the right. Then: (a) Insert the saw band
into the saw guide inserts and pull up against the
back-up bearing; (b) Check the saw band's position
around the bandwheels (its back edge must rest
against each bandwheel ange); (c) Remove the
protective cap from the saw band if necessary.

5. After all corrective adjustments have been made,
turn the Band Tension selector switch to "ON".

6. Turn the saw guide insert adjustment screws
clockwise until tight (do not over tighten). Then
turn each adjustment screw back counterclockwise

a 1/4 turn.

7. Reposition the band brush and tighten the locking
handle. Then (a) Unlatch the left saw band guard
and put back in place; (b) Rotate the right saw band
guard down and tighten the thumb screw; (c) Close
both bandwheel doors and latch. Make sure both

door interlocks are engaged. Press the "EXIT" key

to return to the previous screen.

8. Press the Band/Cycle Start key. Run the machine
briey and then press the Band/Cycle Stop key.

9. Open the bandwheel doors and check for saw
band tracking. Make any corrections and close the
bandwheel doors.

1. The left saw guide arm is adjusted by using

the "GUIDE ARM OUT/IN" keys on the SETUP
Screen.

3. The best cutting results are generally obtained
when the saw guide arm are positioned as close
as possible to the stock.

When the saw head has been swiveled, make

sure the saw guide arm will clear the front vise
jaw when lowering the saw head.

FEED FORCE ADJUSTMENTS

1. Feed force is the pressure exerted by the workpiece
against the saw band's cutting edge. It is controlled
hydraulically and regulated with the Feed Force
valve. Turn the valve clockwise to "decrease"
pressure, counterclockwise to "increase" it.

2. The following are important factors to consider when
setting or adjusting the Feed Force valve:

• Turn the Feed Force valve to a low setting if the
correct feed force is not known. The operator can
then increase or decrease pressure during operation
to obtain the best cutting rate consistent with desired

blade life and stock cut nish. Always be sure to
take a good chip.

• Never start a cut with the maximum Feed Force
valve setting. Blade damage may occur.

• Certain work-hardening materials will require a

moderately heavy initial Feed Force valve setting to
assure immediate penetration of blade teeth. Light
feeds on these materials may cause the blade to slide
over the stock resulting in saw band damage.

• Generally, top performance from a sharp saw band
results from relatively low Feed Force valve
settings. It will be necessary to increase the setting
as the saw band becomes duller. This will help keep
the cutting rate constant throughout the life of the
saw band.

WORK HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1. The work height mechanism works in conjunction
with the head up proximity switch (1 PRS) to

assure that the saw head has raised sufciently

above the stock so manual stock positioning can
be accomplished safely.

17

WORK HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (Continued....)

Work Height Adjustment.

2. To adjust, lower the saw head all the way. Then:
(a) Loosen the lock knob; (b) Rotate the adjustment

ag to the desired work height indicated with the

pointer; (c) Tighten the lock knob.

3. There is a convenient metric equivalent chart for
converting the work height to millimeters.

FLOOD COOLANT SYSTEM

Coolant Selection

1. Excessive heat build-up is the main cause of blade

tooth failure during band machining. Coolant

has both lubricating and cooling properties. Its
application does the following: (a) Helps reduce
the heat generated during sawing; (b) Helps prolong
blade life; (c) Generally promotes more efcient
cutting rates.

2. When making a coolant choice, the operator will
want to consider the following points: (a) The type of
material being cut; (b) The material's machinability
rating; (c) Band speed and feed rate to be used;

(d) Saw band type to be used and its expected life;
(e) The overall sawing operation.

3. Using more than one (1) coolant variety may provide
maximum sawing results and economy.

Literature describing different coolant types

and their application is available from a DoALL
sales representative.

Coolant Application

SAW HEAD POSITIONING FOR ANGLE CUTS

1. To position the saw head for angle cutting from 0°
to 60°, press the "HEAD ANGLE" key. Then: (a)

Press the "ENTER HEAD ANGLE" key and the

keypad will appear; (b) Enter the desired saw head

angle and then press "OK"; (c) Press "ROTATE

HEAD TO ENTERED ANGLE" to move the saw
head to the entered angle.

2. The operator may use the "JOG +/-" keys to move
the saw head to the desired angle. Press and hold

the appropriate "JOG" key and release when the
desired angle has been reached.

3. See also the "HEAD ANGLE SCREEN" heading

previously described in this section of the manual.

The width capacities of the machine are

reduced when angle cutting.

1. Coolant is supplied by means of a reservoir and

pump to the cutting area through the saw guide
inserts on the saw guide arm. A valve on each saw

guide arm regulates the ow to the saw guides.

Turn the valve counterclockwise until coolant
completely covers both sides of the saw band.

2. Used coolant ows back to the reservoir by means

of a trough in the saw base. The reservoir has a

ltering screen surrounding the lter element to

keep out metal particles and other impurities.

Coolant Pump and Reservoir.

18

FLOOD COOLANT SYSTEM (Continued....)

3. Coolant reservoir capacity is 25 gallons (94.6 liters).
The pump will not operate correctly unless the lter

element is completely submerged in coolant.

Flushing Hose

1. Part of the Flood Coolant System, the ushing hose

is attached to the coolant pump and delivers cutting

uid through a hand nozzle. It is used primarily for

machine cleaning purposes.

Band Brush.

DRY CUTTING

1. The operator may nd it desirable to cut some

materials (such as cast iron, aluminum, magnesium,
etc.) without coolant. When dry cutting these
materials, follow the same operating procedures
used when cutting with coolant. However, dry

cutting will reduce saw band life.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

1. The hydraulic and band drive systems operate
independently. This allows the operator to perform
the following tasks while the band drive motor is
not running: (a) Change saw bands; (b) Raise or
lower the sawing head; (c) Swivel the sawing head;

(d) Clamp or unclamp the vises; (e) Position stock

manually.

2. The machine's hydraulic reservoir has a 15 gallon
(56.7 liter) capacity. Refer to the Lubrication section

of this manual for recommended iuds.

BAND BRUSH AND CHIP REMOVAL

Band Brush

1. A hydraulic motor driven band brush is located
inside the drive bandwheel door. During machine
operation, the brush bristles should be positioned
so that the tips clean chips from the blade teeth
gullets, but do not contact the bottom of the gullets.

DO NOT allow metal chips to accumulate on the
brush.

2. The brush must be properly adjusted to clean blade
tooth gullets if satisfactory sawing performance
is to be obtained. As bristles wear down, adjust
brush position by: (a) Loosening the bolts holding
the bracket to the saw head; (b) Move the brush to
the correct cleaning position; (c) Retightening the
bracket bolts.

NEVER adjust the band brush while the saw

band is running.

Chip Removal

1. During operation, metal chips and used coolant

drop directly into a sloped trough, or ow into it from

the machine's run-off surfaces. Metal fragments
removed from the band brush also drop onto the

saw base. Coolant then ows down the trough
and through a ltering screen before returning to
the reservoir. The ushing hose helps collect the

chips into the trough.

2. The chip trough collects the metal chips and can
be raked to the opening at the machine's left side
where chips can be emptied into a customer-supplied
container.

Flushing Hose

1. Metal chips and other debris may accumulate over
time around such machine areas as: saw guides,
both bandwheels, vises, slides, band brush, head
lift cylinder, feed and discharge areas, etc.

2. The operator should check often for metal chip
collections which can adversely affect machine
performance. They should be removed with either
the combination shovel-rake or the Flushing Hose
as soon as possible.

It is recommended that the operator remove

chips at least twice per each eight (8) hour
shift, and more often with heavier use.

Be sure the saw ba n d ha v e STO P P E D

completely before cleaning the machine.

24

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (Continued....)

System Pressure

1. Hydraulic system pressure is correctly set at the
factory and should not require adjustment for

a considerable period of time. Correct system
pressure is 700 ±25 psi (48.3 ±1.7 bar or 49.2 kg/
cm².).

2. Pressure is adjusted by turning the screw extending
outward from the hydraulic reservoir. Consult

a DoALL service representative if assistance is
needed.

Pump Repair & Replacement

2. Check the coolant often for signs of contamination

or breakdown. The reservoir and coolant system
should be drained and cleaned thoroughly when the

cutting uid becomes undesirable for further use.

If another type of coolant is to be used, the entire

coolant system must be ushed (use DoALL’s Kleen

Flush).

3. To thoroughly clean the reservoir section below
the conveyor trough, removal of the trough will be
necessary.

MACHINE CLEANING

1. Keep the machine and its parts as clean as possible
to prevent excessive wear and damage.

1. DO NOT attempt to repair the hydraulic pump.
Return it to the factory for repair or replacement. Be
sure to specify the correct pump model and serial
numbers when returning the unit.

2. Following a new pump installation: (a) Jog the
Hydraulic Start and Hydraulic Stop keys several
times; on for two (2) seconds, off for three (3) seconds
until the pump is primed; (b) Check for proper pump
rotation while jogging; (c) Review wiring connections
if the pump rotates in the wrong direction.

After the pump has been primed, run it

for several minutes while operating the
machine’s controls to purge entrapped air
from the pump and system. Check for oil
leaks while the system is being operated.

Seals & Cups

1. Seals and cups used in DoALL hydraulic systems
are compatible ONLY with hydraulic oils having an
aniline point between 215° and 230° F. (102° and

111° C.).

2. Use the Flushing Hose as soon as possible to remove
metal chips and other waste materials which may
collect around the saw guides, bandwheels, vises,
slides, sensing arm, etc. The hose has a hand­operated valve and attaches to the coolant pump.

The DoALL Company recommends using the
Flushing Hose to remove chips at least twice
per each eight (8) hour shift, and more often
with heavier use.

3. Use the supplied chip rake to remove accumulated
metal chips or other waste materials from machine
areas. Be sure the band drive motor is stopped

before opening machine doors or covers.

Chip Rake.

2. If hydraulic oil having an aniline point not falling
within the above range is used, the seals may either
swell or shrink and harden. This causes machine
malfunction and leakage.

1. The band chip brush will wear and lose steel bristles

over time. Check often to be sure the bristles are

removing metal chips from the blade tooth gullets,
but are not touching the bottom of the gullets.

2. Move the brush closer to the blade as normal wear
occurs. Replace the brushes when necessary.

BAND TENSION MEASUREMENT

1. Band tension is factory set.

• Band tension measurement can be made with the
machine’s hydraulics running and by using the Band
Tension selector and a DoALL Tensigage.

2. Tension may be checked "reading up" or "reading
down". To "read up": (a) Fix the Tensigage to a
slack saw band; (b) Apply tension. To "read down":
(a) Fix the Tensigage to a tensioned saw band; (b)
Relax tension.

3. A DoALL Tensigage reading of 28,500 to 30,000 psi

(1965 to 2069 bar or 2004 to 2115 kg/cm²) indicates

correct saw band tension.

1. Each of the two (2) front vise bed wear plates
has twelve (12) mounting screws which must be
removed. Replacement requires: (a) Removing
the mounting screws from large outboard wear plate
rst; (b) Removing the mounting screws from the
two (2) wear plates and then slide them out from
under the vise jaw.

2. Replace the wear plates in reverse order and install
the hardware.

BAND DRIVE GEARBOX

1. Band drive gearbox replacement, repair, adjustment
or alignment should be performed only by a DoALL
service representative.

Using a Tensigage to Measure Band Tension.

WEAR PLATE REPLACEMENT

1. The removable vise jaw and vise bed wear plates
must be replaced before excessive wear causes
the mounting screw heads to become damaged

and makes removal difcult.

Vise Jaw Plates

1. The machine has six (6) vise jaw wear plates: two
(2) on the front vise movable jaw and four (4) on
the index vise jaws. All wear plates are mounted
with low-head screws. Be sure the vise jaws are

separated and the machine turned off before
trying to replace the wear plates.

Drive Gear Box.

2. To change the oil, drain the oil through the drain plug
as shown. Fill with three (3) gallons (11.4 liter) of
oil until the oil level is to the top of the elbow.

Fill very slowly so the oil can seep through

the bearings, gears, etc. This may take a few
minutes.

BANDWHEELS

Bandwheel Flange and Tread.

26

BANDWHEELS (Continued....)

1. Occasionally check each bandwheel’s back-up

ange and wheel tread for wear. Saw bands will

not track properly if the taper is worn from the wheel
tread.

2. Replace the entire bandwheel if the rim becomes
badly worn.

3. Ideally, the saw band should be tracking on both
wheels so that the back edge will just lightly contact

the wheel anges, or is not more than 0.005 inch
(0.127 mm) away from the anges.

CLEANING CHIP TROUGH OR CHIP AUGER

1. To clean the chip trough or optional chip auger,
turn the machine off. Then: (a) Remove the cover
and pull the trough or auger (disconnect the auger

hydraulic hoses rst) from its cradled position in
the base/coolant reservoir; (c) Clean the removed
trough and the trough in the base as well; (d) Clean
the reservoir oor; (e) Replace the trough or auger

and reinstall the cover.

2. The machine’s coolant reservoir has a 25 gallon
(94.6 liter) capacity.

3. Check the coolant often for signs of contamination

or breakdown. The reservoir and coolant system
should be drained and cleaned thoroughly when the

cutting uid becomes undesirable for further use.

If another type of coolant is to be used, the entire

coolant system must be ushed (use DoALL’s Kleen

Flush).

Counterbalance Spring.

Be sure the saw head falls only enough to

cut completely through the work. TOO MUCH
head fall could result in cutting the vise bed
wear plates too deeply or completely off. TOO
LITTLE head fall will result in an incomplete
cut through the workpiece.

ELECTRIC MOTORS

1. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance instructions
for each electric motor. These instructions are
located in the pocket inside the main electrical
enclosure.

4. To thoroughly clean the reservoir section below
the chip trough, removal of the trough will be
necessary.

COUNTERBALANCE SPRING

1. After a period of time, the saw head may not cut
through the stock or cuts too far into the vise bed
wear plates. To adjust, follow these procedures:

• There is no need to remove the counterbalance
spring from the machine. (a) Loosen the threaded
collar from the lower hex nut; (b) Adjust the lower
hex nut up or down until the saw band teeth are
approximately 0.06 inch (1.52 mm) below the work
surface; (c) Turn the threaded collar down tightly
on top of the hex nut and secure it.

MIST LUBRICATOR

1. See the instructions sent with the unit for information
on maintenance and adjustments. They are located

ACCESSORIES

ROLLER STOCK CONVEYORS

1. Your machine may be equipped with one of the
following roller stock conveyors for moving long
stock into cutting position (or as an unloading
adjunct). The following conveyors are available:

• Light duty stock conveyor ve (5) feet (1525.0 mm)

long by 33 inches (838.2 mm) wide with a weight
capacity of 750 pounds (340.2 kg) per roller.

• Light duty stock conveyor ten (10) feet (3050.0 mm)
long by 33 inches (838.2mm) wide with a weight
capacity of 750 pounds (340.2 kg) per roller.

VERTICAL GUIDE ROLLERS

1. Vertical guide rollers are effectively used to help
maintain correct positioning of long stock on the

indexer roller bed and/or a conveyor.

• When the Nesting Fixture is supplied, the vertical
guide roller is a standard component.

2. This can be installed at the end of the indexer or
between conveyors (if more than one is supplied).

3. One (1) vertical roller is adjustable along the guide

rail and clamped to laterally conne stock when

indexing.

Roller Stock Conveyor.

• Heavy duty stock conveyor ve (5) feet (1525.0 mm)

long by 33 inches (838.2mm) wide with a weight
capacity of 2000 pounds (907.2 kg) per roller.

• Heavy duty stock conveyor ten (10) feet (3050.0
mm) long by 33 inches (838.2mm) wide with a
weight capacity of 2000 pounds (907.2 kg) per
roller.

2. To install a roller stock conveyor: (a) Position
the assembled conveyor(s) behind or in front of
the machine base; (b) Adjust the conveyor to the
machine with the leveling screws on the conveyor
legs. The top of the front conveyor roller should be
inline to 0.010-inch (0.25 mm) above the vise bed
wear plate.

3. The remaining rollers must be parallel to, and in the
same plane with the vise beds to within 0.010-inch
(0.25 mm) per 24 inches (609.6 mm) of travel.

4. Depress the roller shafts for ease of installation or
removal of rollers.

Vertical Guide Roller.

NESTING FIXTURE

1. This optional feature is designed for high-production,
multiple sawing of stacked bars, rounds and tubing.
This option has the same capacity as the standard
capacity.

• When the Nesting Fixture is supplied, the vertical
guide roller is a part of this option.

2. Vertical nesting clamps are mounted to the machine’s
front and index vises. The cylinders operate
simultaneously with the regular vise clamping
cylinders.

3. The hydraulically operated Nesting Fixture can also

be used with the Variable Vise Pressure option.

The conveyor DOES NOT attach to the machine

base.Anchortheconveyortotheoorafter

32

NESTING FIXTURE (Continued....)

Nesting Setup

1. When the operator presses the "NESTING MODE

ON", the key below changes to "NEST SETUP".

This also changes to "HOME FRONT" mode which
uses vise overlap clamping and releasing to permit
at least one vise is always clamping the material.
This is the default setting and cannot be changed

in "NESTING MODE ON".

Nesting Fixture Adjustments.

Stacking Stock

1. Correct stock nesting is essential for proper clamping
of the vises and nesting xture. It is important that

nesting vise clamping pressure be transmitted
to every stacked piece. Sometimes this can be
more easily accomplished by manually jogging the
stack.

2. Proper stacking of round stock is important because

saw band breakage may occur if round nested pieces
slip or spin during sawing.

3. Two (2) workable round stock stacking methods are
shown in the next illustration (using the same number
of rounds in each row usually provides the best
sawing results, although the alternate method can
be used if the material is not stacked too high).

Nesting Mode On and Nesting Setup Keys.

2. Pressing the "NEST SETUP" key brings the operator

to a screen which allows independent opertation of
all vise movement. This allows the operator to "build
a nest" of material and using these vise controls
helps keep the nest from collapsing.

Round Stock Stacking Methods.

4. Pieces should be stacked as closely together

as possible. Metal chips lodged in open spaces
between individual pieces will affect cutting
accuracy.

Nest Setup Screen.

3. All the controls operate the same way. Press and

hold the desired vise control key. Release the key
to stop vise movement.

4. Press the "EXIT" key to return to the previous

screen.

5. Adjust the vertical guide roller so the stock will be
guided correctly toward the saw band.

33

NESTING FIXTURE (Continued....)

6. Press the "FRONT VISE CLAMP" key and the
"INDEX VISE CLAMP" key on the VIEW Screen.

2. Clamping pressure is set with the adjusting knobs

until the desired pressure is shown by the indicator
gauge. Turn the knob clockwise to "increase"
pressure; counterclockwise to "decrease" it.

7. The out of stock photo switch (1PCS) is located
on the rear side of the indexing vise. When the
light beam is unbroken, an out of stock condition
exists.

Workstation Controls

1. On the SETUP Screen, make sure that the
"NESTING MODE ON" key is active. This changes to
the "HOME FRONT" mode which uses vise overlap
clamping and releasing to permit at least one vise
is always clamping the material. This is the default
setting and cannot be changed in "NESTING

MODE ON".

For Best Nesting Cutting Results

1. Stack the same number of stock pieces in each
row.

2. The stack should always be higher than it is wide.

3. Increase the nesting vise clamping pressure will
increase the holding load per piece.

4. Apply as much coolant as possible while cutting.

5. Replace wear plates on the moveable vise jaw and

nesting xture’s vertical clamping jaw when they

become worn.

3. Turn the locking knob to hold the pressure setting
in place.

Typical Variable Vise Pressure.

4. Variable vise pressure also can be used with the
Nesting Fixture Option.

CHIP AUGER

1. During operation, metal chips and used coolant

drop directly into a sloped trough, or ow into it from

the machine's run-off surfaces. Metal fragments
removed from the band brush also drop onto the

saw base. Coolant then ows down the trough
and through a ltering screen before returning to
the reservoir. The ushing hose helps collect the

chips into the trough.

6. Adjust the feed table’s vertical guide rollers to
keep the stack from collapsing when the vises are
unclamped.

7. Generally, reduced band speed and feed force are
necessary when sawing stacked materials. This
results in a lower cutting rate than when sawing
solid stock.

8. In some instances, increased production and blade

life may be obtained by nesting fewer pieces than
maximum vise capacity permits.

VARIABLE VISE PRESSURE

1. Two (2) pressure reducing valves, located behind

the xed and index vise directional control valves,

are used to adjust vise clamping force against
materials which cannot tolerate full vise clamping
pressure (examples are thin-walled tubing, pipe,
light structurals, etc.).

Chip Auger.

2. The chip auger, which sets inside the coolant
reservoir, operates simultaneously with the hydraulic
pump motor. The auger screw rotates slowly at the
bottom of the trough. Its movement carries metal
chips to the opening at the machine's left side where
chips empty into a customer-supplied container.

34

CHIP AUGER (Continued....)

MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT

3. A valve located on the base near the chip auger
exit allows the chip auger motor to be adjusted for
faster or slower operation. Turn the valve stem

clockwise to "decrease" the chip auger speed;
counterclockwise to "increase" it.

BAND MIST LUBRICATOR

1. See the instructions sent with the unit for information
on operation and adjustments. They are located in
the pocket inside the main electrical enclosure.

2. Plant air supply is connected to the air lter to the

right of the main electrical enclosure on the front

of the machine. Plant air supply should be 80 to 90
psi (5.5 to 6.2 bar or 5.6 to 6.3 kg/cm²) to operate

this option.

nearby and is controlled by an "ON - OFF" switch
on the light.

1. Special material handling equipment can enhanced

the performance of your machine. Contact your

DoALL sales representative for information on
any material handling application needs that could
increase your productivity.

LASER LINE 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 "ON" - "OFF" key on
the SETUP Screen. Turn the laser "OFF" when not
in use.

3. The laser is mounted on the saw guide arm and
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 and replace the cap when
not in use.
