Assembling Band SAW to Stand

1.Carefully place the band saw (A) Fig. 6, onto the band saw stand (B). NOTE: Position the band saw so the pulley (C) is over the opening (D) in the stand.

2.Align the four holes in the base of the band saw with the four mounting holes in the top of the stand and fasten the band saw to the stand with four 5/16-18 x 13/4 hex head screws, three of which are shown at (E) Fig. 6, with flat washers and flange nuts.

ASSEMBLING AND

ALIGNING V-BELT; ADJUSTING BELT TENSION

1.Using a straight edge, align motor pulley (A) Fig. 7, to the driven pulley (B). If necessary, both pulleys can be adjusted inward or outward. The motor (C) can also be adjusted on the motor mounting bars (D).

2.Assemble the V-belt (E) Fig. 7, to pulleys (A) and (B) and adjust the belt tension by raising or lowering the motor (C) on the motor mounting bars (D). If necessary, the motor mounting bars (D) can be repositioned on two vertical posts (F). NOTE: Make certain the pulleys are kept in alignment when doing this. Correct belt tension is obtained when there is approximately 1 deflection, using light finger pressure at the centerspan of the pulleys.

ASSEMBLING BELT

AND PULLEY GUARD

Assemble belt and pulley guard (A) Fig. 8, to the top of the stand and surrounding the driven pulley with two 3/4-20 x 5/8 hex head screws, flat washers and hex nuts (B).
