7.0 Setup and Assembly
Read and understand all
instructions before attempting assembly or
operation of band saw. Failure to comply may
cause serious injury.
Model
industrial-grade low-friction corrosion-resistant
table coating. While the coating is durable, it can
be damaged if metal or other hard and/or sharp
objects strike, gouge, or scratch the surface.
Significant damage to the coating may affect its
performance. Use care when unpacking and
locating the machine and during all setup and
assembly procedures.
7.1 Unpacking
1. Remove all contents from shipping carton. Do
not discard any shipping material until band saw
is assembled and running satisfactorily.
2. Inspect contents for shipping damage. Report
any damage immediately to your distributor and
shipping agent.
3. Compare contents of shipping carton with the
contents list in this manual. Report shortages, if
any, to your distributor.
Note: Some parts may have come pre-assembled to
the saw.

7.3 Location
Remove all crating and plastic from around
machine. Remove any screws or straps holding
band saw to shipping pallet.
Exercise care when removing
machine from shipping pallet.
Use a hoist or forklift with straps to remove band saw
from pallet. The straps used should have a minimum
500-lb. lifting capacity. Do NOT place forks or straps
directly beneath table or against handles or levers –
use the lifting eye atop the band saw.
Move band saw to its permanent location, which
should be dry and well lit, with a level floor and
enough space on all sides to handle long stock or
perform routine maintenance on the machine. Make
sure floor is able to support weight of machine. If
desired, band saw can be secured to floor using lag
screws (not provided) through the four holes in
base. See Figure 2 for hole spacing.
Exposed metal surfaces, such as table surface and
blade guides, have been given a protective coating
at the factory. This coating should be removed with
a soft cloth moistened with solvent. Do not get
solvents near plastic or rubber parts; and do not use
an abrasive pad as it may scratch exposed surfaces.
Note: Model PM1500T has an industial-grade
low-friction corrosion-resistant table coating
and will not require cleaning.
The handle on the front handwheel may be in
reverse position for shipping. Reinstall it in proper
position on the handwheel. Use a wrench on the flat
to tighten it to the handwheel.
