1. Finish uncrating the bandsaw. Contact your
distributor if any damage has occurred during
shipping.
2. Remove any preservativewith keroseneor
diesel oil. Do not use gasoline, paint thinner, or
any cellulose-based product. These will damage
painted surfaces.
3. Remove two hex cap screws from left side of the
vertical column. Attach shear assembly (A, Fig.
1) to column by inserting hex cap screws.
Installation
1. Remove three nuts and washers holdingthe
bandsaw to the shipping crate bottom.
2. Using the lifting ring, lift the bandsaw into it's
permanent location. For best performance,the
bandsaw should be bolted to the floor after a
level position has been found.
3. Using a square, adjust the table 90 degreesto
the blade both front to back and side to side.
Loosen the hex cap screws below the tableto
move it and tighten to hold the table in place. If
necessary, adju'stthe pointers to zero should
they read different once the table is
perpendicular to the blade in both directions.
4. To level the machine, place a machinist's level
on the table and observe in both directions.
5. Use metal shims under the appropriate hold
down screw. Tighten screw and recheckfor
level.
6. Adjust with additional shims, as required, until
the table is level when all mountingscrews (or
nuts) are tight.
