Lifting & Placing
HEAVY LIFT!
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting machine or some of
its parts. To reduce this risk,
get help from other people
and use a forklift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.
Special care should be taken when moving this
bandsaw. To reduce your risk of injury or acciden-
tal damage, use one of the following methods to
lift or move this bandsaw.
Using Forklift & Eye Bolt
1. Use forklift to move crate to prepared loca-
tion, then remove crate from shipping pallet.
2. Unbolt bandsaw from pallet.
3. Install eye bolt. Make sure it is threaded all
the way in,
then place lifting hook through eye
bolt (see
Figure 21) and lift bandsaw slowly
with forklift enough to clear pallet.
Using Forklift & Wood Blocks
1. Use forklift to move crate to prepared loca-
tion, then remove crate from shipping pallet.
2. Unbolt bandsaw from pallet.
3. Carefully place forklift forks under bandsaw
head. Insert a 1x4 block between head and
left fork, and a 2x4 block between head and
right fork so bandsaw is level, as shown in
Figure 22.
Using Pallet Jack & Furniture Dolly
1. Use pallet jack to move crate to prepared
location, then remove crate from shipping
pallet.
2. Unbolt bandsaw from pallet.
3. With help of another person, carefully "walk"
bandsaw (or use furniture dolly to move
bandsaw) off of pallet and into position.

Serious injury could occur if you connect
machine to power before completing setup
process. DO NOT connect to power until
instructed later in this manual.
