INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY

1.Lift the machine with a hoist or forklift, using a sling through the lifting eye on top the machine, shown in Figure 3. Make sure the capacity of the lifting unit is sufficient to safely lift this size machine.

2.The cut-off saw (with any roller table extensions) should be located in an area that is well-lit, with enough room around it for loading and off-loading stock and general servicing of the machine.

3.The saw cabinet should be bolted to the floor through the holes at the four corners, using high quality lag screws.

Unpainted surfaces, such as the table and fence, have been given a protective coating at the factory. This should be removed with a soft rag moistened with a good commercial solvent. Do not use acetone, lacquer thinner, gasoline or any flammable solvents. Do not use an abrasive pad.

HANDWHEEL

Install the handwheel onto the threaded rod as shown (Fig. 3).
