G0640X 17" Wood/Metal Bandsaw
Assembly
To assemble the bandsaw:
1. Thread an M8-1.25 hex nut half way up the
length of the included M8-1.25 x 100 hex bolt
(the longest one in the hardware bag).
2. Thread the M8-1.25 x 100 hex bolt (otherwise
known as the "Positive Stop Bolt") into the
casting near the trunnion base, as shown in
Figure 9.
Note: The positive stop bolt acts as a table
stop, which makes it easy to bring the table
back to 90° after tilting it.

5. Adjust the upper and lower blade guides
away from the blade. Refer to
Adjusting
Blade Guides on
Page 20 for more details.
The table is heavy. To
reduce the risk of injury
when lifting, have another
person help you during
the next step.
The saw blade is very
sharp and can easily cut
bare hands. Wear heavy
leather gloves whenever
handling.
6. Open the upper and lower wheel covers, and
slide the blade off of both wheels.
7. Place the table onto the trunnion and posi-
tion it so the mounting holes in the table are
aligned with those on the trunnion.
