EHB-916V | EHB-1018V
6.0 UNCRATING AND ASSEMBLY
Note: Read and understand the entire manual before
attempting setup or operation.
1. Finish uncrating the saw and inspect for damage.
Should any have occurred, contact your local
distributor.
2. Remove all bolts attaching machine to shipping base.
3. Leave packing material between vise clamps and saw
head intact until band saw has been lifted to its fi nal
position.
4. Clean all rust protected surfaces with kerosene or
diesel oil to remove protective coating. Do not
use gasoline, paint thinner, mineral spirits, etc. These
may damage painted surfaces.
5. Lubricate all slideways with SAE 10W oil.
7.0 INSTALLATION
For best performance, the band saw should be located on
a solid and level foundation. Allow room for servicing and
for moving large stock around the band saw when decid-
ing a location for the machine.
1. Using lifting straps that are isolated from the band
saw’s fi nished surfaces, lift machine and place in
desired location. See Figure 1 for strap placement.
2. Install four leveling bolts with lock nuts on both sides
of the base as shown in the parts breakdown on page
16, items 2 and 3.
3. Place a level on the table surface and check side-to-
side and front-to-back.
4. Adjust leveling screws until machine is level in both
directions and tighten locking nuts.
8.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The EHB-916V Band Saw is rated at 115/230V single
phase, and is pre-wired 115 volt from the factory. The
EHB-1018V is rated at 230V only, single phase. Confi rm
that power available at the saw’s location matches that for
which the saw is wired.
To convert the EHB-916V from 115V to 230V, the following
items will have to be changed:
Main Motor – follow diagram inside junction box cover.
Coolant Pump – Remove chip pan on front of saw,
remove junction box cover on pump, and follow diagram
inside junction box cover.
Control Transformer – Open electrical panel on rear of
base and change the fuse from 115V to 230V.
Machine must always be correctly grounded.
NOTE: The power cord end will have to be changed to
one rated 230V when changing to the higher voltage.
