SAW TO STAND
THE BAND SAW IS VERY HEAVY. USE A
HELPER WHEN ATTACHING THE SAW TO THE
CABINET.
1. Place the band saw on top of the cabinet as shown
in Fig. 23. NOTE: MAKE SURE THE PULLEY (A) FIG.
23, IS ON THE SIDE OF THE CABINET WITH THE
BELT OPENING (B).
2. Align the four holes in the saw with the four holes in
the top of the cabinet.
3. Place 5/16" flat washers on a 5/16-18x1½" hex
head screws. Insert the screws through the holes (C) in
the saw and the cabinet.
4. Thread 5/16-18 hex nuts on the screws and tighten
securely.

MOTOR PULLEY
Fig. 24
NOTE: Both the motor pulley (A) Fig. 24, and the
gearbox pulley (B) are four-step pulleys and should
always be attached inverted to each other.
Check to see if the gear box pulley (B) is attached with
the largest step of the pulley in the “in” or “out” position.
In this case, the largest step of the gear box pulley (B) is
in the “out” position. Attach the motor pulley (A) to the
motor shaft with the largest step of the motor pulley in
the “in” position.
1. Place the 3/4" to 5/8" reducing bushing on the
motor shaft. Align the split in the reducer with the key
way slot.
2. Place the key in the motor shaft.
3. Position the pulley on the shaft. Line it up with the
key. Secure with two 5/16-18x5/16" set screws.
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE.
2. Use a straight edge to align the inside grooves of
the pulleys (A) and (B) Fig. 24 to the inside edge of the
drive pulley (C). The pulleys can be moved in or out on
the shafts and the motor can also be moved.
3. Place the longer V-Belt on the inside groove of the
motor (A) and the drive pulley (C) Fig. 25. Place the
shorter V-Belt on any one of the remaining three grooves
on the motor pulley (A) and the corresponding groove on
the gear box pulley (B). (Fig. 25 shows belts in place.)
4. Adjust the belt tension by raising or lowering the
motor on the motor mounting brackets (A) Fig. 7. Keep
the pulleys in alignment when performing this operation.
Proper tension is 1/4" deflection at the center of the belt
with light finger pressure.
