G0613/14 Swivel Mast Metal Cutting Bandsaw
-17-
The Model G0613/14
is an extremely heavy
machine. Serious per
-
sonal injury may occur if
safe moving methods are
not followed. To be safe,
you will need assistance
and power equipment
when moving the ship-
ping crate and remov
-
ing the machine from the
crate.
Typical Machine Mounting Options
Although not required, we recommend that you
mount your new machine to the floor. Using
machine mounts, shown in Figure
9, gives the
advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduc
-
tion. Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor
studs are two popular methods for anchoring
an object to a concrete floor. Because this is an
optional step and floor materials may vary, floor
mounting hardware is not included. Generally,
you can either bolt your machine to the floor or
mount it on machine mounts. It may be neces
-
sary to level your machine after mounting.

Floor
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.
Cabinet Assembly
To assemble the cabinet:
1. Assemble the four cabinet sides together with
the eight M8-1.25 x 16 hex bolts and nuts
.
2. Using a hoist and straps that can hold at least
600 lbs. (see Figure
8), lower the bandsaw
and base onto the top of the cabinet so the
swivel lock lever protrudes through the side
of the cabinet and the four cabinet mounting
holes line up.
3. Secure the bandsaw base to the cabinet with
the four M10-1.5 x 35 hex bolts and the flat
washers.
