Assembly
Tools required for assembly:
Forklift or hoist with straps
10-12mm wrench (provided)
14mm wrench
(NOTE: A socket wrench set may speed
assembly time)
Remove all crating and plastic from around the
band saw. Remove any lag screws or holding
straps which secure the band saw to the wood
pallet.
Use a hoist or forklift with straps to lift the band
saw from the pallet. (Do NOT place forks or
straps directly under the band saw table to lift it.)
Move the band saw to its permanent location,
which should be dry and well lit, with enough
space on all sides to handle long stock or
perform routine maintenance on the machine.
Make sure the floor is able to support the weight
of the machine.
Areas of the Band Saw have been given a
protective coating at the factory. This should be
removed with a soft cloth moistened with
kerosene or mineral spirits. Do not get solvents
near plastic or rubber parts, and do not use an
abrasive pad as it may scratch metal surfaces.
Installing Fence and Rails
1. Mount the front rail (A, Figure 1) to the saw
table with two 5/16 x 1-1/4 hex cap screws,
two 5/16 lock washers, and two 5/16 flat
washers. Screws should be placed
horizontally in approximately the center of
the slot. Hand tighten the screws.
2. Mount the rear rail (B, Figure 1) to the table
with two 1/4 x 5/8 hex cap screws, two 1/4
lock washers, and two 1/4 flat washers.
Hand tighten the screws.
3. Push the front and rear rails upward (toward
the table top) as far as they will go.
4. Tighten the two hex cap screws holding the
front rail to the table, with a 12mm wrench.
Tighten the two hex cap screws holding the
rear rail to the table with a 10mm wrench.
5. Attach the guide rail (C, Figure 1) to the
front rail with five 1/4 x 5/8 hex cap screws,
five 1/4 lock washers, and five 1/4 flat
washers. The scale on the guide rail should
face toward the operator. Hand tighten the
screws only.
