HEAD RESTRAINT BAR
The S-25A bandsaw is shipped with the head secured at the 45
°
position by a restraint bar and is wired down
to the base to ensure that the head can not move in any direction during shipping. After the saw has been lifted
into position, the head restraint bar must be removed along with the wire.

LEVELLING
Machine location should be carefully selected. A flat concrete floor area should be chosen. It should have
enough free space surrounding the machine to enable free access for safe operation and maintenance.
Machine should be levelled in both directions ie. across its table and along its infeed conveyor especially when
machine is to be inserted into a large conveyor system.
Nine levelling screws are provided. Steel plates are to be placed under each screw to prevent their sinking into
the concrete floor. In cases when machine is to be anchored permanently, anchoring holes are provided. They
are located next to the levelling screws.
NOTE: In some cases levelling the saw infeed and auxiliary conveyors with a slight slope towards the blade is
recommended. This will prevent coolant from running down the raw stock. (This is especially true when cutting
tubing or bundles).
