INSTALLATION
MOVING & INSTALLING THE BANDSAW
The bandsaw is heavy - over 300
lbs! It is best to assemble the machine near the
area where it will eventually reside.
When moving or positioning an assembled
bandsaw, DO NOT use the table or upper blade
guard assemblies as this may damage the
machine. Move the bandsaw by grasping the
support column and lower frame which are all
welded together for rigidity. The bandsaw can
also be moved by laying it down on the back/left
side of the column so that the table assembly is
not compromised.
1. Carefully remove the machine from the shipping
carton. See above instructions on handling the saw.
2. Position the machine on a solid, level foundation
that is located in an area that has ample space in
front, right side and in back of the bandsaw for cutting
large or long material.
For best power and safety, the bandsaw should be
plugged directly into a dedicated grounded electrical
outlet that is within the supplied cord length of
the machine. The use of an extension cord is not
recommended.
3. Align the machine so that during use, the material
being cut will not face aisles, doorways, or other work
areas that bystanders may be in. Do not locate or use
the machine in damp or wet conditions.
4. Once in place in your shop, level the machine with
spacers, and secure it to the floor with lag screws
(not supplied) using the 4 holes in the saw’s base.
