For your convenience this bandsaw is shipped from the factory partially assembled and requires only minimal
assembly and set up before being put into service.
INSTALL THE BANDSAW ONTO THE BASE CABINET

binet.

holes in the legs of the bandsaw and into the base cabinet. Then
open the door and from the inside, tighten four hex nuts with wa-
shers
