SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any maintenance or assembly. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire assembly process. Failure to com- ply may result in serious personal injury.

Stand (G1073)

The stand assembly on the Model G1073 is shown here. If you have the Model G1073Z, fol- low the same instructions for mounting the motor, bandsaw to stand, and the anti-vibration pads. Disregard the steps that do not apply.

To ease assembly, build the stand upside down on a bench, then place it upright on the floor. Do not fully tighten any of the bolts until directed to do so in the next section.

Sometimes sheet metal parts have a tendency to ''spring'' after they are formed. For this reason, you may need to use a little extra force to align holes to insert bolts.

To assemble the stand:

1.Flip the top of the stand upside-down. Position the motor mounting bracket so that it sits over the four (4) evenly spaced holes in the top. Bolt the bracket to the stand with two (2) 3Ú8"-16 x 1" hex bolts, 3Ú8" washers, and 3Ú8"-16 nuts provided. Hand tighten for now so your assembly looks like Figure 3.

2.Position the motor so the pulley is over the rectangular hole in the stand top as shown in Figure 4. Secure with four (4) 5Ú16"-18 x 1" carriage bolts, 5Ú16" washers, and 5Ú16"-18 nuts provided.
