BAND SAW ASSEMBLY

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT CONNECT THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE UNTIL

3. Align the four holes in the saw with the four holes in

the top of the stand.

M8x1.25x80mm hex head screw. Insert the screw

through the hole (A) in the saw and the stand.

5. Thread a M8x1.25 hex nut onto the screw and

tighten securely.

6. Repeat this process for the remaining hole (A) in the

saw and the stand.

7. Attach the belt to saw and motor pulley, see the

position of the motor until the motor pulley and saw

pulley are aligned.

5. Tighten the four bolts that were loosened in STEP 4.

6. Turn bolt (C) Fig. 18, clockwise, until the dampening

cap contacts the motor.

7. Back the bolt (C) Fig. 18, out approximately 1/4" and

tighten the nut (D) against the top of the stand to hold

bolt (C) in place. NOTE: THE BOLT AND THE
