1. Set the metal cutting band
saw upright on the leg set.
2. Slide the vise hand wheel
onto the vise adjusting shaft
on the front end of the band
saw base.
3. Securely tighten the
setscrew on the hand wheel
locking it on the shaft.
4. Ensure the setscrew is
tightened against the flat
part of the adjusting rod.
ATTACHING THE VERTICAL CUTTING TABLE
There will be times when the metal cutting band saw will need to be used in the
vertical position. Use the following steps to attach the vertical cutting table. See Figure 5.
1. Raise the band saw arm to
the vertical position and
secure with the locking lever.
2. Loosen the hex bolt on the
side of the band saw bow
assembly.
3. Slide the vertical table
bracket beneath the loos-
ened hex bolt.
4. Securely tighten the hex
bolt locking the vertical
table bracket in place.
5. Remove the two flathead screws and bearing plate.
6. Position the vertical table so the holes align with the two holes on the bear
plate and the single hole on the vertical table bracket.
7. Insert the two flat-head screws back into the bearing assembly.
8. Insert an additional flat-head screw (from loose parts) through the table and the
vertical table bracket. Place a lock washer on the screw and tighten with a hex nut.
9. Securely tighten all three screws ensuring the vertical table is locked in place.
9. Position the wheel assembly so the holes in the two rear legs align. Insert a
1/4" X 20 X 3/4" hex head screw into the wheel cross-member followed by a
split-lock washer. On the inside of the leg, place a washer and a 1/4" X 20 hex
nut. Finger-tighten the screw at this time. Repeat this step for the other side.
10.Using two 1/2" (12 mm) box-end wrenches, place one on the hex nut on the
inside of the attached leg and one on the outside hex screw head. Holding the
hex nut in place, securely tighten the two screws attaching the wheel assembly
to the rear legs.
11.Using two people, carefully pick up the metal cutting band saw and set it on its legs.
12.To move the saw to different positions, lift up on the floor stand handle (See
Step 7) allowing the band saw to roll on the wheels attached to the rear legs.
INSTALLING PULLEYS
1.Remove the existing screw from the band saw.
2.Position the belt housing as shown and secure to the band saw using the
screw from the previous step and a 6MM pan head phillips screw and a rubber
washer from the hardware kit.
3.Insert the pulleys into the shafts as shown and tighten set screws.
4.Install the belt over the pulleys.
ATTACHING THE VISE HAND WHEEL
The vise hand wheel permits the tightening and holding of material to be cut by the
metal cutting band saw. Refer to the following steps and Figure 4 to install the hand
wheel.
