Assembly
Tools required for assembly:
Forklift or hoist with straps
10-12mm wrench (provided)
14mm wrench
(NOTE: A socket wrench set may speed assembly
time)
Remove all crating and plastic from around the
band saw. Remove any lag screws or holding
straps which secure the band saw to the wood
pallet.
Use a hoist or forklift with straps to lift the band
saw from the pallet. Position the strap as shown in
Figure 1. (Do NOT place forks or straps directly
under the band saw table to lift it.) Move the band
saw to its permanent location, which should be dry
and well lit, with enough space on all sides to
handle long stock or perform routine maintenance
on the machine. Make sure the floor is able to
support the weight of the machine.
Areas of the Band Saw have been given a
protective coating at the factory. This should be
removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene
or mineral spirits. Do not get solvents near plastic
or rubber parts, and do not use an abrasive pad as
it may scratch metal surfaces.
Installing Fence and Rails
1. Mount the front rail (A, Figure 1a) to the saw
table with two 5/16 x 1-1/4 hex cap screws,
two 5/16 lock washers, and two 5/16 flat
washers. Screws should be placed horizontally
in approximately the center of the slot. Hand
tighten the screws.
2. Mount the rear rail (B, Figure 1a) to the table
with two 1/4 x 5/8 hex cap screws, two 1/4 lock
washers, and two 1/4 flat washers. Hand
tighten the screws.
3. Push the front and rear rails upward (toward
the table top) as far as they will go.
4. Tighten the two hex cap screws holding the
front rail to the table, with a 12mm wrench.
Tighten the two hex cap screws holding the
rear rail to the table with a 10mm wrench.
5. Attach the guide rail (C, Figure 1a) to the front
rail with five 1/4 x 5/8 hex cap screws, five 1/4
lock washers, and five 1/4 flat washers. The
scale on the guide rail should face toward the
operator. Hand tighten the screws only.
