TNSTATLATION:
The Band Saw should be bolted securely to a solidly
built work bench.
It is suggested that the saw be
installed so that the table is 38 to 42 inches from the
floor to suit the operator.
Four 9 /32 inch holes have been provided in the
band saw feet for bolting to the bench.
The motor, as recommended in a later paragraph,
may be installed behind or below the tool. The drive
pulley is designed for use with a standard Yz inch
V belt. The length of this belt may be determined
after the motor position has been selected by measur-
ing with a piece of string or flexible tape around the
outside diameter of the pulleys, not in the grooves.
A hole approximately 3t/2 inches sguare should be
cut in the work bench directly ahead of the front feet

lUBRICATION:
The special double row ball bearing built into the
drive shaft has been packed with lubricant and sealed
at the factory. It should require no further attention.
Note:
If replacement of this bearing is necessary
in the future, full instructions covering the removal of
the old bearing and the installation of the new one
will be supplied with the replacement part.
Apply a few drops of oil (SAE #30)
to the idler
wheel needle bearings. This may be accomplished
after removing the rubber oil hole plugs in the hub
of the idler wheels. Replace the plugs after oiling.
The blade thrust rollers, #18232, should be lubri-
cated occasionally. Other moving and sliding parts
such as the guide slide and table trunnions rnay
require
occasional lubrication
to
maintain
their
smooth operation.
SPEED AND POWER:
For general use with wood and similar material,
proper operating speed and power may be attained
by using a | /3
horsepower 1750 R.P.M. motor
equipped with a 3 inch diameter pulley.
