CHOOSING A BLADE
The saw will come with a “DAKE Saw Pitch Calculator” to assist in blade selection.
First the pitch of the teeth must be chosen, suitable for the material to be cut, according to these
criteria:
•
Parts with a section such as profiles, pipes, and plates, need fine toothing, so the
number of teeth used simulations cut.
•
Parts with solids sections need wide spread toothing penetration.
•
Material made of soft plastic, light alloys and mild bronze also require coarse toothing.
•
If still unsure what blade to purchase contact your blade provider or DAKE.
OPERATION
Use recommendations:
•
This machine has been designed to cut metal building materials with different shapes,
profiles used in workshops and mechanical structural work.
•
Only one operator is needed to use the machine.
•
Before starting each cutting operation, ensure that the part is firmly gripped in the vise
and that the end is suitably supported.
•
To obtain good running of the machine it is recommended to start using it in intervals of a
half hour. This operation should be repeated two or three times, after this the machine
may be used continuously.
•
Do not use cutting blades of a different size from those stated in the specifications
section.
•
If the cutting blade gets stuck in the work piece, release the blade ON button
immediately, switch off the machine and open the vise slowly. Remove the part and make
sure that the cutting blade and/or teeth are not damaged or broken.
•
Before carrying out any repairs on the machine, consult the distributor or DAKE.
•
Move head to the full upright position when not in use, helps avoid stress on the return
spring.
