The head locking pin safely secures the head in the down

position. To ensure the head does not unexpectedly

spring up and tip the bandsaw over, this locking pin must

be properly inserted when the bandsaw is not in use or

before moving it.

1.

DISCONNECT

BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.

Fully lower the head down, then insert the locking

pin through the holes in the head pivot arm and

base, as shown in

Figure.

.

3.

Before connecting the machine to power, remove the

locking pin.
