TO THE STAND
CAUTION: The band saw is very heavy. Use a helper
when attaching the saw to the stand.
Attach the band saw to the stand by using the four holes
provided (two of which are shown at (A) Fig. 8). Place one
5/16-18 x 1-3/4" hex head screw with a 5/16" flat washer
through each hole in the bottom of the band saw and the
top of the stand. Thread a 5/16" flange nut on screw and
tighten securely.

ATTACHING AND ALIGNING V-BELT,
ADJUSTING BELT TENSION
1. Attach the V-belt (E) Fig. 9 on the two pulleys (A and B),
and adjust the belt tension by raising or lowering the motor
(C) on the motor mounting bars (D). (If necessary, the motor
mounting bars (D) can be repositioned on the two posts (F)
Fig. 9. Tension is correct when the belt is deflected approxi-
mately 1" in the center.
2. Place a straight edge against the belt along the V-groove
of both pulleys. Visually check to see that both pulleys are in
line. Either pulley can be moved in or out by loosening the set
screw (the lower pulley set screw is shown at (B) Fig. 7). After
aligning, tighten the set screw. The motor can also be moved
on the mounting bars.
