Using Forklift & Wood Blocks
1.
Use a forklift to move the crate to a prepared
location, then remove the crate from the ship-
ping pallet.
2.
Unbolt the bandsaw from the pallet.
3.
Carefully place the forklift forks under the
head. Insert a 1x4 block between the head
and the left fork, and a 2x4 block between the
head and right fork so the bandsaw is level,
as shown in Figure 18.
Figure 18. Example of lifting bandsaw with
forklift using wood blocks.
4.
Lift the bandsaw off of the pallet, remove
the pallet, then slowly set the bandsaw into
position.
Note: If you are concerned about your forklift
forks hitting the tension handwheel, remove the
handwheel before positioning the forks, then re-
install it after the bandsaw has been moved.
Serious injury could occur if you connect
the machine to power before completing the
setup process. DO NOT connect to power
until instructed later in this manual.

Anchoring to Floor
Number of Mounting Holes ............................ 4
Diameter of Mounting Hardware .................
Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect-
ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we rec-
ommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.
Anchoring to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con-
crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.
