If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough to go
through holes in the saw base and material the saw is being
mounted to. If machin
e bolts are being used, make sure bolts
are long enough to go through holes in the saw base, the
material being mounted to, and the lock washers and hex
nuts.
NOTE: It may be necessary to countersink hex nuts and
washers on bottom side of mounting board.

WARNING:
MOUNTING THE SAW TABLE (Fig. 1 & 2)
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 w
orkbench 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 p
attern, locate and mark the holes where the band
saw is to be mounted.
Drill four holes through the workbench.
Place band saw on the workbench aligning holes in the
saw base with the holes drilled in the workbench.
NOTE: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install
the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of the
bench.
Insert all four bolts (not included) and tighten securely
with lock washers and hex nuts (not included).
Supporting surface where band saw is mounted should be
examined carefully after mounting to insure that no
movement during use can result. If any tipping or warping is
noted, secure workbench or support surface before
beginning cutting operation.
CLAMPING BAND SAW TO WORKBENCH (Fig. 3)
If the band saw is to be used as a portable tool, it is
recommended that you fasten it permanently to a
mounting
board that can easily be clamped to a
workbench or other
supporting surface.Themountingboardshouldbe ofsufficient
size to avoid tipping of saw while in use. Any good grade
plywood or chipboard with a
19 mm 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.
Place the key in a location inaccessible to children and
others not qualified to use the tool.
Table Lock Handle
Loosening the table lock handle allows the saw table to
be tilted at different angles.Tightening the table lock
handle
locks
the saw table in place.
Tracking Knob
Adjusts tracking to keep blade centered on the wheels.
Tracking View Window
The tracking view window makes tracking adjustments
easier
to see.
Remove the angle adjustment knob (7) from the side
of
the saw housing.
NOTE:
Take
care
when removing the nut (22) and
washer (20) from the centre of the angle adjustment
knob. There is a s
pring (23) in the centre that is
released
after the nut and washer are removed.
Remove the t a
ble aligning bolt (19), washer (20), and
wing nut (21) from the saw table.
Standing at the front of the band saw, slide the saw
table through the slot moving from the front side of the
saw table to the back.
Insert the washer (20) on the threaded end of the table
lock handle (4). The table lock handle is spring loaded
and is released by pulling the handle away fromthe
saw
housing. Tighten the saw table to the saw
housing by
ratcheting the table lock handle clockwise
or by finger
tightening the table lock handle.
Reattach the angle adjustment knob using the spring,
washer and nut.
Reattach the table aligning bolt (19), washer (20), and
wing nut (21) to t
