SETUP

Lifting & Moving

Lifting and moving this bandsaw is most safely done using a forklift. The upper frame is angled at the lifting area, so we recommend making a lifting block, as shown in Figure 5, to balance the machine when lifting.

If using a forklift is not an option, then the machine can be moved with a heavy-duty dolly and at least three strong people. Heavy-duty dollies can be easily purchased at your local hardware store or rented.

To lift and move the bandsaw with a forklift, do these steps:

1.Make the lifting block shown in Figure xx to ensure that the machine remains balanced when lifted and does not swing.

2.Place the lifting block under the upper frame, as shown in Figure 6.

3.Either place the forks directly against the lifting block, or place straps under the lifting block and around the upper frame.

Note: If you are using lifting straps, you must remove the blade and upper wheel to avoid damag- ing the machine. The upper wheel is easily removed by removing the hex nut from the center and sliding the wheel off.

To lift and move the bandsaw with three strong people and a dolly, do these steps:

1.Carefully "walk" (pivot the bandsaw in alternating steps) off of the shipping pallet and onto the shop floor.

2.Place the dolly under the machine and move it into place, having two extra people steady the machine the entire time so that it does not tip over.
