W1770 21" Bandsaw w/Foot Brake

Lifting & Moving

SETUP

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.

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.
