Uncrating and Cleanup
Note: Read and understand the entire manual
before attempting setup or operation.
1. Finish uncrating the saw and inspect for
damage. Should any have occurred, contact
your local distributor.
2. Remove all bolts attaching machine to
shipping base.
3. Leave packing material between vise
clamps and saw head intact until band saw
has been lifted to its final position.
4. Clean all rust protected surfaces with
kerosene or diesel oil to remove protective
coating. Do not use gasoline, paint thinner,
mineral spirits, etc. These may damage
painted surfaces.
5. Lubricate all slideways with SAE 10W oil.
Installation

located on a solid and level foundation. Allow
room for servicing and for moving large stock
around the band saw when deciding a locatio n
for the machine.
1. Using lifting straps that are isolated from the
band saw’s finished surfaces, lift machine
and place in desired location. See Figure 1
for strap placement.
2. Install four leveling bolts with lock nuts on
both sides of the base as shown in the parts
breakdown on page 16, items 2 and 3.
3. Place a level on the table surface and check
side-to-side and front-to-back.
4. Adjust leveling screws until machine is level
in both directions and tighten locking nuts.
Assembly

shipping crate bottom.
2. Remove nut and washer from the motor
support shaft.
