INSTALLING BANDSAW ON STAND
Place the bandsaw base (Fig.8) (A) onto the top of the stand (B) and line up the stand and
base corner mounting holes. From the inside of the stand, fix the bandsaw base to the
stand using hex bolts.
INSTALLING V-BELT
Before installing the V-belt, it is important to make sure that the motor
pulley (Fig.9) (A) is aligned with the upper pulley. If an adjustment is
necessary, loosen set screw (B) which secures the motor pulley, adjust the
motor pulley so it is in line with the upper pulley and retighten set screw.
To install the V-belt (Fig.9) (C) loosen the motor mount bolts (Fig.6) (C) and
raise up the motor. Fit the V-belt around the motor pulley and the upper
pulley. Release the motor and apply light downward pressure to tension
the belt - there should be approximately 1/4” deflection in the V-belt.
Retighten the motor mount bolts.
INSTALLING STAND SIDE COVERS
Install the 2 stand side covers (Fig.10) (A) to the stand. Make sure that all
locking tabs (B) are screwed into the side covers. Position the side covers
inside the stand openings and secure them in place by turning the locking
tabs over the edges of the stand as shown in (Fig.10).
INSTALLING SLIDING TABLE
This meat bandsaw comes with a sliding table (Fig.11) (A). The sliding
table has 2 sliding rails underneath it. Align these rails with the table
rollers (Fig.12) (A) and slide the table towards the blade (make sure
you slide the slotted end of the table towards the blade first). To
prevent the table from sliding off the base, install the table bracket
(Fig.11) (B) to the slotted end of the table using cap screws (Fig.11)
(C).
