Installation and Assembly
Remove all crating and plastic from around the band saw. Remove any lag screws or holding straps which secure the band saw to the wood pallet.
Unpainted areas of the machine have been treated with a rust preventative. This should be removed with a soft cloth and a mild solvent. Do not use paint thinner, lacquer thinner, gasoline or mineral spirits; these will damage painted and plastic surfaces. Do not use an abrasive pad.
Installing Motor
Mount the motor to the gearbox using the four M10 x 30 socket head cap screws and four M10 lock washers, through the holes in the motor’s flange. See Figure 1. The key in the motor shaft must line up with the keyway in the gearbox opening.
Wheels and Leveling Stands
1.Slide the band saw at an angle so that the edges hang over the sides of the pallet.
2.Insert the axle through the holes at the right end of the band saw cabinet (opposite the end where the lifting handle is mounted). See Figure 2.
3.Install a wheel and two flat washers on each end of the axle. Insert a split pin through the hole in the axle and bend the ends of the split pin to secure the wheel on the axle.
4.Install the two leveling stands at the left end of the band saw (the end where the lifting handle is mounted). See Figure 2. Screw the leveling stand into the hole beneath the band saw cabinet, and tighten the top hex nut against the bottom of the cabinet.
5.The leveling stands can be later adjusted for level by rotating the stand and
6.Roll the band saw off the pallet.
Stock Stop
1.Insert the stock stop rod into the hole at the front of the base (Figure 3).
2.Secure the rod by tightening the hex cap screw below the casting.
3.Slide the stock stop onto the rod, and tighten the thumb screw. The stock stop can be mounted so it faces either direction.
