PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
Serious personal injury could occur if you connect the machine to the power source before you have completed
the installation and assembly steps. DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so.
This model 90-125 bandsaw is heavy 224 LBS (102 kg). Do not over-exert. The help of an assistant will be needed
for the following step.
ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it
is advisable to establish a Safety Zone around shop
machinery. A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor
around each machine can help avoid accidents that
could cause injury to either the operator or the shop
visitor. It is advisable to take a few moments to either
paint (using non-slip paint) or using tape, define on the
floor the limits or perimeter of each machines safety
zone. Take steps to ensure that all operators and shop
visitors are aware that these areas are off limits when-
ever a machine is running for everyone but the individ-
ual operating the unit.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and operated only
on a solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support
the weight of the bandsaw 224 LBS (102 kg) and the
operator. Using the dimensions shown in Fig. 2 as a
guideline, plan for placement within your shop that will
allow the operator to work unencumbered and unob-
structed by foot traffic (either passing shop visitors or
other shop workers) or other tools or machinery.
The protective coating on the saw table prevents rust
from forming during shipping and storage. Remove it
by rubbing with a rag dipped in kerosene, mineral
sprits or paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flamma-
ble solvent-soaked rags according to manufacturer’s
safety recommendations.)
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface,
may also be used to scrape off the coating followed
by clean-up with solvent. Avoid rubbing the saw’s
painted surfaces, as many solvent-based products will
remove paint.
To prevent rust, apply a light coating of paste wax or
use regular applications of any after-market surface
protectant or rust inhibitor such as General Interna-
tional “Top Saver” item #GC-010.
CLEAN UP
Tip: With a screw driver, push a solvent-saturated rag into the T-slot to remove the grease so the miter gauge will slide freely.
