COOLANT SYSTEM (Continued....)
CHIP REMOVAL (Continued....)
Fines Drawer
1. The nes drawer located on the machine's left
side should be checked regularly. Dispose of
accumulated metal chips before the drawer becomes
full. Conscientious machine operators will empty
and clean the nes drawer at least once weekly.
Doing so will substantially increase the life of the
machine's coolant system.
Shovel-Rake
1. Accumulations of metal chips can be removed from
the machine with the shovel-rake.
DO NOT use the shovel-rake while the saw
band is running.
Combination Shovel-Rake.
Chip Conveyor
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. Coolant then
ows down the trough and through a ltering screen
before returning to the reservoir.

2. The chip conveyor motor operates simultaneously
with the hydraulic pump motor. The conveyor
screw rotates slowly at the bottom of the trough.
Its movement carries metal chips to the opening at
the machine's right side where chips empty into a
customer-supplied container.
Band Brush
1. A covered, hydraulic motor driven band brush is
located near the band drive wheel. 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. As the bristles wear, move the brush closer to the
blade. To do so: (a) Open the right wheel cover;
(b) Loosen the clamping handle; (c) Position the
brush for correct blade cleaning; (d) Tighten the
clamping handle and close the wheel cover.
Band Brush.
Flushing Hose
1. Metal chips and other debris may accumulate over
time around such machine areas as: saw guides,
drive and idler bandwheels, vises, slides, brush
housing, 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 the
Flushing Hose as soon as possible.
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.
