4/29/03 If machine is to be operated At 440 volt 3 phase power, please read the following warning. WARNING! This machine must be wired by a qualified electrician. Do not connect 440-volt power directly to this machine. The use of the step down transformer supplied with this machine must be used.
4/29/03 SPECIFICATIONS Model Number: V-16 V-24/VH-24 V-40/VH-40 Capacity: Throat Inches 23-1/2 Work Height Inches 12-1/2 12-1/2 Table: Work Table Inches 23-1/2 x 23-1/2 26-3/8 x 26-3/8 26-3/8 x 26-3/8 Auxiliary Inches 9 x 22-3/8 15-1/2 x 21-1/2 Height from Floor Inches Travel-Manual or Hydraulic Inches...
The machine is wired to be operated with an input voltage of 230, 3 phase, 60 htz (+/- 10%) or with a Dake external step down transformer from 460v to 230v. If any adjustments or changes are needed a qualified electrician should perform them. See detailed information as provided in a circuit diagram #80587.
4/29/03 FILLING THE SPEED REGULATOR Turn the saw on. Screw the handwheel in. Turn the saw off once handwheel is in. Remove the mounting screws (item 6). Remove the plug from the cylinder (Item 3). Turn screw out. Add oil (Lightweight hydraulic oil) slowly while turning the wheel out. When it is completely full, replace the plug (Item 3).
4/29/03 WHEEL ALIGNMENT V-16 & V / VH-24 Note: This alignment is factory set, but may need adjustment when replacing blade. Two wheel machines have a bottom wheel that drives the saw blade and a top idle wheel that is adjustable to facilitate blade tracking.
4/29/03 BLADE TENSIONING The blade indicator is located inside the upper wheel compartment, on the lower left side of the idle wheel. (See machine features graphic) The indicator has an arrow mounted on the horizontal plane, with a corresponding scale for blade tensioning. The scale has two legends, one reads inches from 0 - 1”, the second reads mm 0 - 25 mm.

4/29/03 An analysis of the work to be performed should be made and the proper blade selected. The blade should always be inspected before installing on the machine. Things to look for should be the smoothness on the sides and back edge of the weld, look for any missing teeth, or impacted chips.

4/29/03 HIGH SPEED ROLLER GUIDES Applications and Advantages: Friction and abrasive cutting, filing operations, aluminum and woodcutting. These guides eliminate having to change inserts when changing to blades of different widths. Requirements for Installation: These roller guides must be installed using a new 1/2” blade width band for proper alignment. The 1/2”...

4/29/03 4: Insert the mounting stud (B) into the guide casting (A). Keep the stud flush with the front of the casting. Keeping the mounting stud flat area on the bottom, tighten securely the set screw (C) on the bottom of the casting.
4/29/03 Repeat this process for the lower guide assembly. Note: Upper guide stud may be adjusted in or out in the guide post to allow proper clearance for blade, and for alignment with lower guide. Align backup bearing as previously described for upper guide. Tighten both set screws when alignment is confirmed.
4/29/03 Note: Occasionally the drive wheel may have to be jogged by hand to engage the transmission lever. The variable speed is achieved through the use of a variable regulator. (Figure 3) This is turned clockwise or counter clockwise to obtain an increase or decrease in blade speed, in either range.
Note: Always wear eye protection when using this welder or grinder! Your Dake vertical band saw is equipped with a “resistance-type” butt welder. The two clamp jaws of the welder hold the blade ends together. When the welding start knob is turned fully clockwise past the zero setting, electric current flows through the blade ends creating enough heat to soften and join them.
4/29/03 Cut the blade ends accurately and at right angles. (See graphic below) Check abutment against the stop for a cut at right angles. Proper welding can only be achieved if the blade ends are cut with out a burr and at right angles. (Also see trouble shooting section) 2.
4/29/03 After welding loosen the pressure clamps (7 fig. 1) and set the jaws to the wide annealing position by turning the upsetting pressure switch (2 fig. 1) counter clockwise. Re-clamp the blade so that the weld is in the center between the jaws. Operate the annealing switch (8 fig.1) until the weld becomes dark cherry red.
If the welder does not shut off, after the welding cycle, or will not start the welding cycle, a limit switch adjustment is needed. THE WELDER MUST BE REMOVED FOR THIS ADJUSTMENT. SHOCK HAZARD! ALWAYS CONTACT DAKE BEFORE REMOVING THE WELDER OF MAKING INTERNAL ADJUSTMENTS. A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN MUST DO THESE ADJUSTMENT. MACHINE MAINTENANCE The maintenance of the machine is naturally based on the usage rather than a time element.
