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 move-
ment 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 recom-
mended 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. 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
