Assembly

To assemble the bandsaw:

1.Thread an M8-1.25 hex nut half way up the length of the included M8-1.25 x 100 hex bolt (the longest one in the hardware bag).

2.Thread the M8-1.25 x 100 hex bolt (otherwise known as the "Positive Stop Bolt") into the casting near the trunnion base, as shown in Figure 9.

Note: The positive stop bolt acts as a table stop, which makes it easy to bring the table back to 90° after tilting it.

5.Adjust the upper and lower blade guides away from the blade. Refer to Adjusting Blade Guides on Page 20 for more details.

The saw blade is very sharp and can easily cut bare hands. Wear heavy leather gloves whenever handling.

6.Open the upper and lower wheel covers, and slide the blade off of both wheels.

The table is heavy. To reduce the risk of injury when lifting, have another person help you during the next step.

7.Place the table onto the trunnion and posi- tion it so the mounting holes in the table are aligned with those on the trunnion.
