W1770 21" Bandsaw w/Foot Brake
SETUP
Take special care when moving this bandsaw. Only use
one of the following methods to lift or move this bandsaw.
To move and place the bandsaw using the eye bolts, do
these steps:
1. Use a forklift to move the bandsaw on the pallet to
its final location.
2. Unbolt the bandsaw from the pallet.
3. Install the eye bolts shown in Figure 10, making sure
they are threaded all the way in, then place the lift-
ing hooks through the eye bolts and lift slowly with a
forklift.
4. Remove the pallet and slowly set the bandsaw into
position.
To move and place the bandsaw using wood shims, do
these steps:
1. Use a forklift to move the bandsaw on the pallet to
its final location.
2. Carefully place the forklift forks under the head and
install a 1x4 shim between the head and the left
fork and a 2x4 shim between the head and right fork
so the bandsaw is level, as shown in Figure 11.
3. Unbolt the bandsaw from the pallet.
4. Lift the bandsaw off of the pallet, remove the pal-
let, and slowly set the bandsaw into position.
Note: If you are concerned about your forklift
forks hitting the tension handwheel, remove the
handwheel, then reinstall it after lifting.
Lifting & Moving
This is an extremely heavy machine. Serious personal
injury may occur if safe moving methods are not fol-
lowed. To be safe, you will need assistance and a fork-
lift or a hoist when removing the machine from the
crate. Use a chain or a lifting strap with a minimum of
1000 lbs. lifting capacity. If the chain or lifting strap
breaks, serious personal injury may occur.
