UNPACKING AND CLEANING
Carefully unpack the band saw and all loose items from the shipping container. Remove the protective coating from the machined surfaces of the band saw. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover all unpainted surfaces with a good quality paste wax.
ASSEMBLY
STAND
If you purchased your band saw complete with stand and electricals, the stand is shipped top down inside the shipping container with the motor mounted to the inside top of the stand. The on/off switch is wired to the end of the power cord.
The motor must be removed from the inside top of the stand and reassembled to the horizontal mounting bars insede the stand as follows:
1.Remove the stnad (A) from the shipping container being careful not to crimp the switch cord which extends through the top of the stand. NOTE: Set the stand on several blocks of wood to raise the stand off the floor surface.
2.Remove paner (B) Fig. 1, from stgand (A) by removing two screws (C) and loosening two screws (D). Remove panel on
opposite side of stand in the same manner. | Fig. 1 |

Remove two mounting screws, one of which is shown at (E) Fig. 2, that are holding motor (F) to the top of stand (A).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE CABLE TIE (G) THAT IS HOLDING SWITCH CORD (H) TO VERTICAL MOUNTING BAR (J) UNLESS YOU ARE USING THE ACCESSORY 28- 894 HEIGHT ATTACHMENT ON THE BAND SAW. THIS CABLE TIE (G) WILL KEEP THE SWITCH CORD (H) FROM CONTACTING THE MOTOR PULLEY OR BELT DURING OPERATION.

ASSEMBLING MOTOR TO STAND
1.To make the motor assembly easier, turn stand (A) Fig. 2A, on its side with two horizontal bars (B) down as shown.
2.Position motor (C) Fig. 2A, on two horizontal suport bars
(B) as shown, and fasten with four 3/4" long carriage bolts, two of which are shown at (D), and four flanged nuts. IMPORTANT: MAKE CERTAIN MOTOR SHAFT (e) IS ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE STAND AS THE LARGE OPENING IN THE TOP OF THE STAND BEFORE TIGHTENING CARRIAGE BOLTS (D). Further motor alignment will be necessary after band saw is fastened to stand.
3.Carefully turn the stand right side up.
