Worktable.
2.
The worktable can be tilted manually up to 10° left
and 45° right primarily for sawing compound angles.
The amount of worktable tilt is indicated by a pointer
and a trunnion-mounted calibrated scale.
3.
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.
4.
The worktable is drilled and tapped on three (3)
sides to attach accessory equipment. Its removable
center plate can be replaced with optional plates for
band filing and band polishing and other various
options.
WHEEL BRUSH AND CHIP REMOVAL
1.
A brush, located on the lower bandwheel
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.
DO NOT open the bandwheel doors untl saw
band has completely stopped.
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 removng chp
collectons at least twce per each eght (8) hour
shft, and more often wth heaver use.
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.
Tilt the worktable to the desired angle and lock it in
place.
3.
Load stock to be cut onto the worktable. Clamp the
stock if necessary.
4.
Lower the post until the upper saw guide is just
above the stock, but
NOT
touching.
5.
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
Band Start
button;
(c)
Turn the
Band
Speed
knob to the band speed desired.
6.
Carefully move the stock toward the saw band and
begin the cut. Adjust the band speed as necessary
during the cutting procedure.
7.
After the cut has been finished:
(a)
Turn the
Band
Speed
knob to its lowest speed;
(b)
Push the
Stop
button;
(c)
Remove the piece just cut from the
worktable;
(d)
Reposition the stock to begin another
cut;
(e)
Push the
Band Start
button and then set
the band speed.
Contour Sawng
1.
Procedures for stock set-up and band speed
adjustment are the same as noted for production
sawing except that contour sawing of large, heavy
stock will require the use of optional air-operated
power feed or air-powered worktable and a heavy
gage saw band.
2.
The following are important contour sawing
precautions which should be observed:
Reduce the feed force when cuttng nto an
openng to prevent saw band damage.
