2.Unbolt the bandsaw from the pallet.

3.With two assistants to steady the bandsaw, slowly lift it just enough to clear the pallet and floor obstacles, then move it to the prepared location.

4.Use shims between the machine mounting flanges and the floor to level the bandsaw.

Note: Tighten the mounting fasteners evenly to avoid warping or cracking the base.

Test Run

Once the bandsaw is in place, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation. The test run consists of veri- fying the following: 1) The bandsaw motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the Emergency Stop button safety feature works correctly.

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 34.

If you cannot find a remedy, contact our Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.

To test run the bandsaw:

1.Read and follow the safety instructions at the beginning of the manual, and make sure the machine is setup properly.

2.Clear all tools and objects used during setup away from the machine, and make sure both wheel doors are closed and secured.

3.Make sure the blade is properly tensioned and the blade guides are positioned correctly (refer to Blade Tensioning on Page 25, and Adjusting Blade Guides on Page 26 for detailed instructions).

4.Connect the machine to the power source.

5.Place the key in the Power Switch and turn it to the ON position—the Power Lamp should light.

6.Push the Emergency Stop button in, then twist it clockwise so it pops out. When the Emergency Stop button pops out, the switch is reset and ready for operation (see Figure 8).

7.Push the Start button to turn the machine ON.

8.Verify that the machine is operating cor- rectly.

—When operating correctly, the machine runs smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.

—Investigate and correct strange or unusual noises or vibrations before operating the machine further. Always disconnect the machine from power when investigating or correcting potential problems.

9.Verify that the motor is running in the correct direction.

—When the motor is running in the correct direction, the blade will be moving down into the table.

—If the motor is NOT running in the correct direction, stop the machine, disconnect the machine from power, and switch any two incoming power leads inside the motor wir- ing junction box (refer to the Motor Wiring Diagram on Page 45 for detailed illustra-

tions).
