Assembly
All Models: (FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 13)
•When unpacked, this unit consists of four (4) major parts: Pan Weldment (A), Head Platform Assembly (B) Cart Assembly (C) and Lifting Handles (XX) (FIG. 1).
•If this unit is to use the optional Folding Stand (D) (See Fig. 1) and Skid Kit (E) (See FIG. 2) assemble these items first. Follow the instructions provided with these options.
•Set the Pan Weldment (A) on a table or on the optional Folding Stand / Skid Kit (D / E) as shown in FIG. 1. It is very important that the Pan Weldment (A) be assembled on the Folding Stand (D) as shown in Fig. 1, or the optional Foot Pedal Kit (F) CAN NOT be assembled onto the unit.
•Attach the Lifting Handles (XX) as shown in FIG. 13 using the Mounting Hardware (YY) that is provided. Mount the hardware with the nuts toward the outside of the frame and the capscrews toward the inside of the frame. This will simplify mounting the saw on the Optional Stand. Four washers are to be assembled over the "slots" in the frame. Four of the eight washers are not required, but can be used if desired over the remaining holes.
Tighten the hardware securely.
WARNING: Make sure that Handle Mounting Hardware (YY) is securely tightened before transport of the frame or
•Remove the Cart Assembly (C) from its shipping. carton. Set the Cart Assembly (C) onto the Pan Weld- ment (A) so that the wheels of the Cart Assembly (C) roll along the sides of the Pan Weldment (A) (FIG. 1).
•Make sure that the left and right Bearing Clamps (G) on the Pan Weldment (A) are pivoted into their lowered position (FIG. 3). Carefully pick up the Head Platform Assembly (B) and mount it to the Pan Weldment (A) such that the Bearings (H) (on Head Platform) are resting in the Pivot Blocks (J) (on Pan Weldment) and that the blade shaft end of the Head Platform (B) is resting on the Cart Assembly (C) (FIG. 3).
