INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY
1.
Lift the machine with a hoist or forklift, using
a sling through the lifting eye on top the
machine, shown in Figure 3. Make sure the
capacity of the lifting unit is sufficient to
safely lift this size machine.
2. The cut-off saw (with any roller table
extensions) should be located in an area that
is well-lit, with enough room around it for
loading and off-loading stock and general
servicing of the machine.
3.
The saw cabinet should be bolted to the floor
through the holes at the four corners, using
high quality lag screws.
Unpainted surfaces, such as the table and fence,
have been given a protective coating at the
factory. This should be removed with a soft rag
moistened with a good commercial solvent. Do
not use acetone, lacquer thinner, gasoline or any
flammable solvents. Do not use an abrasive pad.
HANDWHEEL
Install the handwheel onto the threaded rod as
shown (Fig. 3).
