UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete. Separate all parts from the packing material and check each item carefully. Make certain all items are accounted for before discarding any packing material. WARNING: SUFFOCATION HAZARD! Immediately discard any plastic bags and packing materials to eliminate choking and suffocation hazards to children and animals.
Page 14
TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING NOTICE: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced. Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley: •...
Page 15
• Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting. • Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery. • Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from obstructing objects.

Machine Base After assembly, the machine base becomes the structure that supports the saw bow, the vise, the coolant pump, the bar stop, the swing arm, and the roller for supporting material. Quick Clamp Vise Place the piece part between the vise jaws and have it rest next to the fixed vise jaw.
Page 21
Positioning the Vise To move the vise in either direction, it must be unlocked at two points. • Release the track support by turning handle (S) counterclockwise (ccw). • Release the vise by moving the lever (T) to the left. •...

Return Stroke Limiting Device A hydraulic cylinder is used to control the drop rate of the saw bow. The hydraulic cylinder is ideal when cutting thin walled or stainless steel sections as they require a constant drop rate to achieve a fine cut edge. Spring Tension for Saw Bow When set for auto mode the fork handle does not engage the sliding spring pin.
Page 23
ASSEMBLY AND SET UP WARNING: For your own safety, DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until the machine is completely assembled and you read and understand the entire instruction manual. 1. Assemble the stand as shown. (Refer to Parts Identification Drawing for required fasteners.) Make sure all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
Page 24
2. Using the (4) lifting lugs, pick up the saw Filter Basket and carefully set it onto the stand and bolt together. 3. Set the coolant tank on the bottom shelf as shown and attach with hex bolts and flatwashers. 4.
Page 25
ELECTRICAL CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN! Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate. WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
Page 26
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Page 27
ADJUSTING THE MACHINE WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery. Replacing the Saw Blade Wear gloves when handling the saw blade. 1. Raise the saw bow. 2.
Page 28
Setting Blade Tension Blade tension is important to the proper operation of the saw. Correct blade tension is 140 kg/cm² as measured on the saws pressure tension gauge. Turning the handwheel (D) clockwise (cw) will increase the tension. Counterclockwise (ccw) will decrease tension of the saw blade. Blade Breakage If the saw is running and the blade breaks, the micro-switch (U) will trip and shut down all machine functions.
Page 29
Adjusting the Blade Guide 1. Disconnect power from the saw 2. Release the extension bar for the blade guide block by loosening socket capscrew (AE) counterclockwise (ccw) and freeing up the clamping block (AF). 3. Hold the handle (AG) and slide the blade guide block as close as possible to the piece part without interfering with the cut.
Page 30
Blade Guide Bearing Adjustment IMPORTANT: This is the most important adjustment on your saw. It is impossible to get satisfactory work from your saw if the blade guides are not properly adjusted. Your Baileigh Band Saw has been adjusted and power tested before leaving the factory to insure proper setting.
Page 31
BEFORE EACH USE • For dusty operations, wear a face shield along with safety goggles. • It is important to choose the right blade for the material and the type of cutting you plan to do. This saw is equipped with a bi-metallic blade which can be used to cut stainless steel, steel, iron, brass, aluminum, wood, plastic.

Blade Terminology The widest part of the blade measured from the back edge of the BLADE WIDTH blade to the tip of the tooth. GULLET DEPTH The distance from the tooth tip to the bottom of the curved area. The angle of the tooth face from a line perpendicular to the length TOOTH RAKE of the blade.
Page 34
Blade structure Bi-metal blades are the most commonly used. They consist of a silicon-steel blade backing by a laser welded high speed steel (HHS) cutting edge. The type of stocks are classified in M2, M42, M51 and differ from each other because of their major hardness due to the increasing percentage of Cobalt (Cc) and molybdenum (Mo) contained in the metal alloy.
Page 35
COMBO TOOTH: 9° - 10° positive rake. This type of blade is the most suitable for the cutting of section bars and large and thick pipes as well as for the cutting of solid bars at maximum machine capacity. Available pitches: 3-4/4-6. SETS Saw teeth bent out of the plane of the saw body, resulting in a wide cut in the workpiece.
Page 36
BLADE CARE The bandsaw blade is subjected to a tremendous amount of strain. Make sure to always use the appropriate feed rate for the type material you are cutting. Be sure to select a blade of the proper width, style, and pitch that will produce the best cut in your material.
Page 38
BLADE BREAKAGE In some cases blade breakage is unavoidable due to the stresses that are imparted on the blade. Avoidable breakage is often the result of poor care, or poor operator judgment when it comes to adjusting or mounting the blade or blade guides. Listed below are some of the more common reasons for blade breakage.
Page 39
OPERATION CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges. NEVER operate saw without blade guards in place. Manual Operation 1. Close the handle on the hydraulic ball valve (I) by turning it counterclockwise (ccw).
Page 40
Auto Mode Operation 1. Close the handle on the hydraulic ball valve (I) by turning it counterclockwise (ccw). 2. Turn the flow control knob (AR) clockwise (cw) to shut off the hydraulic flow. This will prevent the saw bow from dropping when the ball valve is opened. 3.
Page 41
These examples below show ways to clamp a variety of cross sections. Always keep in mind the cutting capacity of the saw to achieve efficient saw cuts and long blade life. Do not use blades of a size different from that shown in the technical specification chart. MATERIAL SELECTION CAUTION: It must be determined by the customer that materials being...

Coolant System Maintenance 1. Disconnect Power From the Saw! 2. To clean the tank, first remove the vinyl hose (AU) from the strainer basket. 3. Remove the strainer basket and lift the cover off of the tank 4. Completely empty tank and use a vacuum cleaner to remove any chips and debris.
Page 44
Gearbox Maintenance The gearbox requires periodic changing of the oil. Complete the first change after the initial 6 months of operation and then change annually thereafter. 1. Disconnect Power From the Saw! 2. Raise the saw bow to a vertical position. Note: You may have to back off the upper travel adjusting bolt.
