Lifting the bandsaw.
This is an extremely heavy machine. Serious
personal injury may occur if safe moving
methods are not followed. To be safe, you
will need assistance and a forklift or a hoist
when removing the machine from the crate.
Use a chain or a lifting strap with a minimum
of 1000 lbs. lifting capacity. If the chain or
lifting strap breaks, serious personal injury
may occur.
Special care should be taken when moving this
bandsaw. Only use the following methods to lift or
move this bandsaw.
To move and place the bandsaw:
1. Use a forklift to move the bandsaw on the
pallet to its final location.
2.
Unbolt the bandsaw from the pallet.
3.
Install the eye bolt shown in
Figure 11
if it is
not already installed (make sure it is threaded
all the way in)
,
then place the lifting hook
through the eye bolt and lift slowly with a
forklift.
4.
Remove the pallet and slowly set the bandsaw
into position.
We recommend mounting your new machine to
the floor. Because floor materials may vary, floor
mounting hardware is not included. You may also
mount your machine to a mobile base that has
wheel locking or wheel retracting capabilities that
keep the mobile base from rolling when not in
use.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts ( Figure 12 ) and
anchor studs (
Figure 13
) are two popular meth-
ods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor.
We suggest you research the many options and
methods for mounting your machine and choose
the best that fits your specific application.

NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.
