Installation and Assembly
Tools required for assembly:
open-end or box wrenches– 10mm, 12mm, 1/2”
[in some cases, a socket wrench set can be
used to speed assembly time]
hex (Allen) wrenches – 3, 5, 6mm
Cross point (Phillips) screwdriver
square
straightedge
NOTE: If further clarification is needed for any of
the following assembly procedures, consult the
exploded views at the back of this manual.
Exposed metal surfaces on the Band Saw, such
as the table, have been given a protective
coating at the factory. This should be removed
with a soft cloth moistened with a light solvent.
Do not use gasoline, lacquer thinner, acetone,
or other highly volatile solvents for this. Do not
use an abrasive pad as it may scratch the
polished metal surfaces.
IMPORTANT: The Band Saw must be
disconnected from the power source before
any assembly procedures!
Mounting Band Saw to Stand
Refer to Figures 15 and 16.
1. Remove loose items from inside of stand.
2. Place stand upright on a level surface. If
desired, the stand can be further stabilized
by securing it to the floor with lag screws
through the inside corner holes. If using a
mobile base, lock the casters before
assembling or operating the band saw.
The saw body is heavy – use
caution when lifting, and stabilize until firmly
attached to the stand. Failure to comply may
cause serious injury.
3. With the aid of a second person, lift the
Band Saw out of the shipping container and
place on top of the stand. Make sure that
front of saw (with Powermatic nameplate)
faces same direction as curved stand front.
4. Line up holes in the saw base with holes in
the top of the stand. Fasten saw base to the
stand with four M8x40 hex cap screws
(HP1-J), eight M8 flat washers (HP1-G), four
M8 lock washers (HP1-F), and four M8 hex
nuts (HP1-H). Use a 1/2” wrench to tighten.
