5.2 Tools required for assembly
All tools needed for assembly are provided with the
machine. Additional tools may be necessary for
maintenance and adjustments.
5.3 Uncrating and spotting
1. Finish uncrating the saw and inspect for
shipping damage. Should any have occurred,
contact your local distributor and carrier. Do
not discard packing material until saw is
assembled and running satisfactorily.
2. Compare contents of shipping crate with the
list in sect. 5.1. Report shortages, if any, to
your distributor.
3. Remove four screws holding machine to
shipping pallet.
4. Use lifting straps that are isolated from the
band saw’s finished surfaces and clear of any
handles or levers; lift machine and place in
desired location. The band saw should be
located on a solid and level foundation for best
performance. When determining location,
allow room for servicing and moving large
stock around the machine.
5. Install four leveling screws with hex nuts
(provided) into threaded holes on base flanges
(Figure 5-1). Place a level on table surface and
check side-to-side and front-to-back. Adjust
leveling screws until machine is level in both
directions, then tighten nuts.

6. Clean all rust preventative from surfaces with
kerosene or a cleaner/degreaser. Do not use
gasoline, paint thinner, mineral spirits, etc., as
these may damage painted surfaces. After
cleaning, apply a light coat of oil to exposed
metal surfaces.

Saw must be disconnected
from power during assembly procedures.

bracket to secure motor in place. Use a rubber
mallet if needed to tap shaft through the holes.
