Beginning
The photos used in this manual are of the Model

section.
To complete the assembly process, follow the
instructions in this section.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire assembly
process. Failure to com-

process. Failure to do
this may result in serious
personal injury.
Figure 4. Table installed correctly.
Table
To mount the table:
1. Installing the table is easiest if the blade is
out of the way. Remove the blade by first
loosening the blade tension handwheel, then
by sliding it off the bandsaw wheels. Wear
heavy leather gloves to protect your hands.
2. With the help of another person, lift the table
onto the trunnion.
3. Place the large hex bolt with washer through
the table trunnion mount and the trunnion.
Do not tighten the bolt completely at this
time. The assembly should now look similar
to Figure 4.
NOTICE
When the fence is to the left of the blade, it
must be positioned near the center of the
table in order to open the lower wheel
cover.

The table for this bandsaw

when placing it on the
trunnion.
