Installation and Assembly
Tools required for assembly:
Forklift or hoist with strap or chain
Set of hex wrenches (provided)
Remove all crating and plastic from around the
band saw. Remove any lag screws or holding
straps which secure the saw to the wood pallet.
Remove the eye bolt from the tool box, and
screw it into the hole at the top of the machine.
Lift the band saw from the pallet using a strap or
chain connected to the eye bolt.
Move the band saw to its permanent location
which should be dry, well ventilated, with
sufficient lighting. Leave enough space on all
sides to handle long stock or perform routine
maintenance on the machine. Make sure the
floor is level and able to support the weight of
the machine.
The Band Saw may be further stabilized by
securing it to the floor using lag screws (not
provided) through the tabs at the bottom.
Areas of the Band Saw have been given a
protective coating at the factory. This should be
removed with a soft cloth moistened with
kerosene or a mild cleaner/degreaser. Do not
use gasoline, paint thinner, or lacquer thinner as
these will damage painted surfaces. Do not use
an abrasive pad.
Fence
Place the fence (Figure 1) onto the groove in the
table as shown, and screw in the knob to tighten
the fence in position.
Shear
Remove the two socket head cap screws at the
back of the column, and use them to mount the
shear, as shown in Figure 2.
Grounding Instructions
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
This Band Saw must be grounded. In the event
of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
