ASSEMBLY
MOUNTING BAND SAW TO WORKBENCH
If the band saw is to be used in a permanent location, we recommend that you secure it to a workbench or other stable surface. When mounting the saw to a workbench, holes should be drilled through the supporting surface of the workbench.
Each hole in the saw base should be bolted securely
using bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not included).
Place band saw on the workbench. Using the saw base as a pattern, locate and mark the holes where the band
saw is to be mounted.
Drill holes through the workbench.
Place band saw on the workbench aligning holes in the
saw base with the holes drilled in the workbench.
Insert bolts (not included) and tighten securely with lock washers and hex nuts (not included).
NOTE: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of the bench.
Supporting surface where band saw is mounted should be examined carefully after mounting to insure that no movement during use can result. If any tipping or walking is noted, secure workbench or support surface before beginning cutting operation.
CLAMPING BAND SAW TO WORKBENCH
See Figure 5.
If the band saw is to be used as a portable tool, it is recommended that you fasten it permanently to a mounting board that can easily be clamped to a workbench or other supporting surface. The mounting board should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping of saw while in use. Any good grade plywood or chipboard with a 3/4 in. (19 mm) thickness is recommended.
Mount saw to board using holes in saw base as a template for hole pattern. Locate and mark the holes where the band saw is to be mounted.
Follow the last three steps in the section Mounting Band Saw to Workbench, shown above.
If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough to go through holes in the saw base and material the saw is being mounted to. If machine bolts are being used, make sure bolts are long enough to go through holes in the saw base, the material being mounted to, and the lock washers and hex nuts.
NOTE: It may be necessary to countersink hex nuts and washers on bottom side of mounting board.
MOUNTING THE SAW TABLE
See Figures 6 and 7.
Standing at the front of the band saw, slide the saw table pass the blade and through the slot moving from the right side of the saw table to the left.
