All Models: (FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4)
• When unpacked, this unit consists of three (3) major
parts: Pan Weldment (A), Head Platform Assembly (B)
and Cart Assembly (C) (FIG. 1).
• If this unit is to use the optional Folding Stand (D) (See
Fig. 1) and Skid Kit (E) (See FIG. 2) assemble these
items first. Follow the instructions provided with these
options.
• Set the Pan Weldment (A) on a table or on the optional
Folding Stand / Skid Kit (D / E) as shown in FIG. 1. It is
very important that the Pan Weldment (A) be
assembled on the Folding Stand (D) as shown in
Fig. 1, or the optional Foot Pedal Kit (F) CAN NOT be
assembled onto the unit.
• Remove the Cart Assembly (C) from its shipping
carton. Set the Cart Assembly (C) onto the Pan
Weldment (A) so that the wheels of the Cart Assembly
(C) roll along the sides of the Pan Weldment (A)
(FIG. 1).
• Make sure that the left and right Bearing Clamps (G)
on the Pan Weldment (A) are pivoted into their lowered
position (FIG. 3). Carefully pick up the Head
Platform Assembly (B) and mount it to the Pan
Weldment (A) such that the Bearings (H) (on Head Plat-
form) are resting in the Pivot Blocks (J) (on Pan
Weldment) and that the blade shaft end of the Head
Platform (B) is resting on the Cart Assembly (C)
(FIG. 3).
• Pivot the left and right Bearing Clamps (G) into their
upper position, and tighten the Knobs (K) [or Capscrews
(K) depending on the date of manufacture] until the
Head Platform (B) is secured to Pan Weldment (A)
(FIG. 4).
• Note: If the unit uses Capscrews (K) to hold the
Bearing Clamps (G) in place, tighten them with the 1/2"
end of the Wrench (LL) provided with the saw
(FIG. 4).
Electric Models (FIG. 5):
• Install the Counterbalance Arm (L): Place the slotted
end of the Counterbalance Arm onto the stud located
on the Left Hand Rear Corner of the Head Platform
Assembly (B). Be sure to put 1/2" Washers on both
side of the ARM before installation. Note that the lower
hole of the ARM is positioned toward the Pan Weldment
(A). A capscrew holds the ARM to the brackets on the
back of the Pan Weldment through this lower hole.
