Moving & Placing

This bandsaw is a heavy machine. Serious per- sonal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not used. To be safe, get assistance and use power equipment rated for over 750 lbs. to move the ship- ping crate and remove the machine from the crate.

To lift and move the bandsaw:

1.Remove the chip tray from the bandsaw base.

2.Position the forklift forks under the bandsaw base, as shown in Figure 5.

Once your new machine is in place, it must be lev- eled. The four corners of the machine base have leveling bolts for this purpose.

To level the machine:

1.Loosen the lock nuts on all four corners, then adjust the leveling bolts until all four touch the floor (Figure 6).

2.Using a level as a guide, level the machine by adjusting one side up or down, as needed. Turn the leveling bolt clockwise to lift the foot and counterclockwise to lower the foot. Be sure to adjust each side in small, equal incre- ments.

3.Once the machine is level in one direction, rotate the level 90˚ and check again for level.

4.Again adjust the feet as needed. Be sure to use small, equal increments on each side.

5.Re-check for level in both the left-to-right and front-to-rear directions. Re-adjust if neces- sary.

6.Once the machine is level, tighten the level- ing lock nuts, taking care to not turn the lev- ling bolts.
