LIFTING AND HANDLING THE MACHINE
These models 90-270 and 90-270HD 18” wood cutting bandsaws are very heavy. Do not over-exert. The help of at
least three assistants, a hoist or forklift with chains will be needed for the following step.
To limit the risk of serious injury or damage to the machine, any equipment used to lift this machine (hoist or fork-
lift) should have a rated capacity in excess of 616 lbs (280 kg) for model 90-270 and of 671 lbs (305 kg) for model
90-270HD.
To limit the potential for damage in transport, this bandsaw is shipped from the factory in the horizontal position.
Because of its great weight a minimum of 3 extra people will be required to assist with lifting and setting the
machine upright. That being said, to limit the risk of serious injury or damage to the machine, ideally, a hoist should
be used. A hoisting eyebolt is provided for that purpose. Install the eyebolt on top of the bandsaw as instructed in
section “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS” on page 8.
