ATTACHING THE SAW TO THE STAND
THE BAND SAW IS VERY HEAVY. Use a helper when you attach the saw to the stand.
1.Place the band saw on top of the stand as shown in Fig. 17.
NOTE: Confirm that the pulley is on the same side of the stand as the pulley guard.
2.Align the four holes in the saw with the four holes in the top of the stand.
3.Place an M8 lockwasher and a M8 flat washer on a hex head screw (M8x1.25x40mm). Insert the screw through one of the holes (A) in the saw and the stand.
4.Thread a hex nut (M8x1.25) on the screw and tighten securely.
5.Repeat this process for the other hole (A).

6.Attach the belt to the saw and motor pulley. See the section "ATTACHING BELT TO SAW AND MOTOR
PULLEY".
7.Repeat STEPS 3 AND 4 for the two remaining holes (B) Fig. 17 (one of which is shown).
ATTACHING THE BELT TO THE SAW AND MOTOR PULLEY
1.Place the belt over the saw pulley (A) Fig. 18.
NOTE: The model
2.Lift the motor and place the other end of the belt around the motor pulley (B) Fig. 18. The weight of the motor will provide the correct belt tension.
Operate the machine only with all the guards in place and secure.
3.Check the alignment of the motor and saw pulley.
4.Loosen the four bolts (C) Fig. 12 that hold the motor bracket to the motor mounting plate, and adjust the position of the motor until the motor pulley and saw pulley are aligned.

5.Tighten the four bolts that were loosened in STEP 4.
6.Turn bolt (C) Fig. 18, clockwise, until the dampening cap contacts the motor.
7.Back the bolt (C) Fig. 18 out approximately 1/4" and tighten the nut (D) against the top of the stand to hold bolt
(C)in place.
NOTE: Do not use the bolt and dampening washer to tension the belt. These two parts prevent the motor from rising excessively when the motor starts.
ATTACHING THE PULLEY GUARDS
NOTE: The illustration in Fig. 18A shows the stand without the band saw for clarity.
1.Insert the two threaded studs on the lower pulley guard (C) Fig 18A through the two holes in the top of the stand (B).
2.Align the two holes in the upper pulley guard (D) Fig. 18A with the two threaded studs on the lower pulley guard (C). Place the upper pulley guard on the studs of the lower pulley guard.
3.Thread a hex flange nut (M8x1.25) on each of the studs and tighten securely.
