Assembly

Handwheel

Attach the handle (A, Fig. 3) to the handwheel (B, Fig. 3).

Mounting the Table

Important: The table is heavy. Mounting with the help of another person is recommended.

Referring to Figures 4 and 5:

1.Remove the table insert (A) and tapered pin (B).

2.Slide the table so the saw blade (D) passes through the slot where the tapered pin (B) was located.

3.Rotate the table 90 degrees so that the miter slot (C) is parallel to the blade (D) and to the right of the blade when facing the band saw as viewed in Figure 5.

4.Line up the table (H) to the trunnions so that the bolts (F) feed through the support bracket

(E). Secure the table with two lock knobs (G). Reinstall the table insert (A) and tapered pin (B).

Rail Assembly

Referring to Figure 6:

1.Attach the front rail (F) to the cast iron table with two 1/4” x 5/8” hex cap screws, two 1/4” lock washers, and two 1/4” flat washers. The screws should be in approximately the center of the slot. Hand-tighten only at this time.

2.Attach the rear rail (G) to the table with two 1/4” x 5/8” hex cap screws, two 1/4” lock washers, and two 1/4” flat washers. Screws should be in approximately the center of the slot. Hand- tighten only at this time.

3.Push the front and rear rails up as far as they will go.

4.Using a 10mm wrench, tighten the four hex cap screws holding the front and rear rails to the table. Do not over-tighten the screws.

5.Attach the guide tube (H) to the front rail with five 1/4” x 5/8” hex cap screws, five 1/4” lock washers, and five 1/4” flat washers. Screws should be in approximately the center of the slot.

Hand-tighten the guide tube only at this time. You will be instructed to secure it later in the Fence Assembly and Adjustment section.
