This bandsaw is relatively heavy and awk- ward to handle. We strongly recommend that you get assistance. The bandsaw unit is also very unstable until it is permanently mounted to the stand. Use care so the bandsaw unit does not tip.
1.Place the bandsaw on the stand and align the four holes in the base over the four mounting holes in the stand.
2.Secure the bandsaw base to the stand with the four hex bolts, nuts and washers provid- ed. See Figure 4.

The motor attaches to the back of the lower band- saw unit. To install the motor:
1.Slide the motor pulley onto the motor shaft so the larger diameter pulley is closest to the motor. Line up the keyways and slide the key into the keyway. Insert the setscrew and tighten. Pulley alignment will be done in Step 5.
2.Support the motor and insert the motor pul- ley through the hole in the back of the band- saw unit.
3.Align the mounting holes and attach each of three cap screws, lock washers and fender washers through the bandsaw unit and into the motor. Leave the cap screws loose for motor adjustment. See Figure 5.
4.Slip the V-belt onto the grooves of the wheel and motor pulleys. Remember, this is a two speed bandsaw. Be sure that the pulleys you choose are aligned. Do not try to force the V-belt onto non-aligned grooves. See “Changing Speeds” in the Operations sec- tion to select the proper speed.
