Figure 2 - Clutch Handle Position
ATTACH DUST CHUTE
Refer to Figure 7, page 10.
• Position dust chute (Ref. No. 29) against saw frame. Secure in
position using four pan head screws (Ref. No. 3).
ATTACH TABLE
Refer to Figure 10, page 16.
• Table (Ref. No. 1) is attached to frame with two cast iron trunnions.
• Remove table stud (Ref. No. 16).
• Finger tighten one socket head bolt with washer (Ref. Nos. 3
and 4) on left side of front trunnion (Ref. No. 2) into table.
• Bring table to frame by inserting back of blade into slot.
Position table with back trunnion (Ref. No. 5) on guide posts
which are welded to frame.
• Position front trunnion so it rides on guide post. Attach handle
with flat washer (Ref. Nos. 13 and 11) to secure back trunnion.
• Insert trunnion rod with acorn nut and flat washer (Ref. Nos. 10
and 11) through other guide post and attach the internally
threaded knob with flat washer (Ref. Nos. 12 and 11) to the
trunnion rod.
• Mount second bolt with washer on front trunnion. Position
front trunnion flat against bottom of table and tighten internal-
ly threaded knob to secure.
• Tighten socket head bolts (Ref. No. 3) to secure trunnions to
table. Install table stud.
SET HORIZONTAL STOP
Refer to Figure 10, page 16.
• When table is attached to frame, a bolt (Ref. No. 14) is used for a
horizontal stop.
• Loosen trunnion knob and set table at 90° to blade using a
square.
• Secure position of table with knob.
• Adjust bolt to contact bottom edge of table.
• Lock bolt in position with hex nut (Ref. No. 15).
ATTACH RIP FENCE
Refer to Figure 10, page 16.
• Rip fence (Ref. No. 19) rides in the slot of table (Ref. No. 1).
• Slide rip fence into slot.
• Hold rip fence to table and fasten by threading knob
(Ref. No. 20) into rip fence.
• Rip fence can be repositioned by loosening knob.
ALIGN TABLE
Refer to Figure 10, page 16.
• The table must be aligned properly so that the blade is at a
right angle to the table and that the rip fence is aligned with
the blade.

• Lock the table in the horizontal position. Mount the rip fence
on the table. Slide the rip fence next to, but not touching, the
blade. Lock the rip fence.
• Check that the blade is aligned parallel with the rip fence. If the
blade and fence are not parallel, loosen handle and knob (Ref.
Nos. 12 and 13) on the trunnions (Ref. Nos. 2 and 5). Adjust the
table position so that the blade and rip fence are parallel.
Secure the table position by tightening handle and knob.
• After assembly, the table has to be aligned in order to have the
blade running through the center of the slot in the table insert.
• To move table sideways, loosen bolts (Ref. No. 3) on the trun-
nions (Ref. Nos. 2 and 5). Move table to left or right until blade
runs through the center of slot. Tighten bolts and make sure
that table stays in position while bolts are being tightened.
INSTALL V-BELT (METAL CUTTING)
Refer to Figures 6, 7 and 11 (pages 7, 10 and 18).
• Band saw uses a step-pulley drive system to provide a selection
of blade speeds for metal cutting.
• Loosen knob (Figure 7, Ref. No. 14). Place V-belt (Figure 11, Ref.
No. 44) on idler pulley and motor pulley (Figure 11, Ref. Nos. 38
and 40) with V-belt in desired location on pulleys. (See Figure 6,
Blade Speeds, page 7.)
• Do not over tighten V-belts. Excessive tension on V-belt will
reduce life of belt. Belt is properly tensioned when light
pressure applied to midpoint of the belt produces about
1
/
" deflection.

• Tension V-belt by pushing down on motor mount plate and
tightening hex head bolt and hex nut.
MOUNT SAW TO FLOOR
• If saw is not properly positioned on a flat surface, it may
develop excessive vibration.
• Mount to a flat, level surface through holes on top of base.
INSTALLATION
Refer to Figures 3, 4 and 5, page 5.

POWER SOURCE
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency
specified. Normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not more
than 10% above or below the specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within the range may
cause overheating and motor burn-out. Heavy loads require that
the voltage at motor terminals be no less than the voltage speci-
fied. Power supply to the motor is controlled by a double pole
locking rocker switch. Remove the key to prevent unauthorized
use.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Improper connection of equipment grounding con-
ductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should
be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical
shock.
