Installation and Assembly

Tools required for assembly:

Forklift with strap or chain

Eye bolt (provided)

Set of hex wrenches (provided)

Remove all crating and plastic from around the band saw. Remove any lag screws or holding straps which secure the band saw to the wood pallet.

Remove the eye bolt from the tool box, and screw it into the hole at the top of the machine. Use a forklift with a strap or chain connected to the eye bolt to lift the band saw from the pallet.

Move the band saw to its permanent location which should be dry, well ventilated, with sufficient lighting. Leave enough space on all sides to handle long stock or perform routine maintenance on the machine. Make sure the floor is level and able to support the weight of the machine.

The Band Saw may be further stabilized by securing it to the floor using lag screws through the four holes in the stand.

Areas of the Band Saw have been given a protective coating at the factory. This should be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene or mineral spirits. Do not get solvents near plastic or rubber parts, and do not use an abrasive pad as it may scratch metal surfaces.

Fence

Place the fence (Figure 1) onto the groove in the table as shown, and screw in the knob (from the toolbox) to tighten the fence in position.

Feed Screw

Use two socket head cap screws (provided) to mount the feed screw to the front edge of the table (Figure 1). Use a 6mm hex wrench to tighten the screws.

Shear

Mount the shear to the back edge of the band saw with two socket head cap screws (provided), as shown in Figure 2.

Circle Cutting Attachment

To use the circle cutting attachment, mount it to the rod as shown in Figure 3.
