14 - English

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).

1. Place the belt over the saw pulley (A) Fig. 18.

NOTE: The model 28-276 has a one-step pulley. The

model 28-206 has a two-step pulley (Fig. 18).

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

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.

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.
