MOUNTING BAND SAW TO WORKBENCH
If band saw is to be used in a permanent location, it
should be fastened securely to a firm supporting
surface such as a workbench or accessory leg set,
If mounting to a workbench, holes should be drilled
through supporting surface of the workbench using
dimensions illustrated.
!. Each foot should be bolted securely using 1/4"
diameter machine screws, washer, Iockwashers,
and 1/4" hex nuts. Bolts must be of sufficient
length to accommodate legs of saw, washers, hex
nuts, and thickness of supporting surface.
2. Locate and mark holes where band saw is to be
mounted.
3. Drill (4) 11/32" din. holes through workbench.
4. Remove band saw cover by releasing latches.
5. Place band saw on workbench aligning holes in feet
with holes drilled in workbench.

An alternate method of mounting is to fasten band saw
to a mounting board. The board should be of sufficient
size to avoid tipping of saw while in use. Any good
grade of plywood or chipboard with a 3/4" minimum
thickness is recommended.
1. Follow instructions for mounting to workbench,
substituting a board 1 8" x 24" minimum size and
using 1/4 inch flat head screws, flat washers,
Iockwashers, and hex nuts. Screws must be of
sufficient length to accommodate legs of saw,
washers, hex nuts, and thickness of supporting
board.
NOTE: Holes must be counter sunk so screw heads
are flush with surface of supporting board.
2. Securely clamp board to workbench using C
clamps.
NOTE: 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 walking is noted, secure workbench, legs, or support-
ing surface before operating band saw.
