Moving & Placing
Bandsaw
This is an extremely heavy machine. Serious
personal injury may occur if safe moving
methods are not followed. To be safe, you
will need assistance and a forklift or a hoist
when removing the machine from the crate.
Use a chain or a lifting strap with a minimum
of 500 lbs. lifting capacity. If the chain or
lifting strap breaks, serious personal injury
may occur.
Figure 6. Lifting the bandsaw.
Special care should be taken when moving this
bandsaw. Only use the following methods to lift or
move this bandsaw.
To move and place the bandsaw:
1. Use a forklift to move the bandsaw on the
pallet near its final location.
2. Unbolt the bandsaw from the pallet.
3. Place the lifting hook through the eye bolt
( Figure 6) that is located on top of the
machine.
4. Carefully lift the machine and place where
desired.
We recommend mounting your new machine to
the floor. Because floor materials may vary, floor
mounting hardware is not included. You may also
mount your machine to a mobile base (such as
shown in
Figure 7) with wheel locking or wheel
retracting capabilities that prevent rolling when
not in use.

Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts ( Figure 8) and
anchor studs are two popular methods for anchor-
ing an object to a concrete floor. We suggest
you research the many options and methods for
mounting your machine and choose the best that
fits your specific application.
