■ Insert the washer on the threaded end of the table lock

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 workbench 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 pattern, 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.

■ Insert

all four

bolts

(not included) and tighten securely

with

lock

washers and hex nuts (not included).

NOTE: All bolts should

be inserted from the top.

Install

the lock washers and hex

nuts

from the underside of

the bench.

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

walk­

ing

is noted, secure workbench or support surface before

beginning cutting operation.

CLAMPING BAND SAW TO WORKBENCH

See Figure

7.

If the band saw is to be

used

as a portable tool, it is

recommended that you fasten it

permanently

to a mount­

ing board that can easily be

clamped

to a workbench or

other supporting surface. The mounting board should be
of sufficient

size

to avoid tipping of saw while in use. Any

good grade

plywood

or chipboard with a 3/4 in. 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.

■ Follow

the last three steps in the section

Mounting

Band Saw to Workbench.

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

machine

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 wash­

ers and hex nuts.

NOTE:

It may be necessary to countersink hex nuts and

washers on bottom side of mounting board.
