5.4 Mounting band saw to stand
Remove any plastic or holding straps from around
the band saw. Areas of the machine have been
given a protective coating at the factory; this should
be removed using a soft cloth moistened with
kerosene or a cleaner-degreaser. Do not use
gasoline, paint thinner, or lacquer thinner as these
will damage painted surfaces. Do not use an
abrasive pad.
Saw is heavy; two-person lift is
recommended.
See Figure 5-4.

mounting holes farther from the edge (X) must
