IMPORTANT
Before completing any steps in this section, read
the entire safety section. The safety section
contains important information which will
safeguard both yourself and the machine during
installation.
It is extremely important to read through the
entire installation section to familiarize yourself
with the installation procedure before
performing any steps in this section.
NOTE: The term “saw column” is used
throughout this section. This term is used to
identify the portion of the machine that contains
the band wheels, blade, blade guides and other
related equipment.
HANDLING AND PLACEMENT
Never push, pull or lift the
shipping crate to move the
saw. Personal injury or
machine damage may occur.
Move the saw only by pushing
the skid with a forklift or by
lifting with the eyebolts
provided in the saw table.
IMPORTANT: When crated, the basic saw
weighs approximately 2870 lb (1300 kg).
Equipment capable of safely handling this
weight is required.
The saw is skidded and crated for shipment.
While the crate may be removed at anytime, the
saw should remain on the skid until positioned
for installation.
NOTE: One shipping brace secures the saw
column for shipment. Do not remove this brace
until the saw has been removed from the skid
and positioned for installation.
The following items should be considered when
positioning the saw:
FOUNDATION The foundation should be a
dry, level concrete floor in good condition. No
special machine foundation is required.
LIGHTING The entire machine should be well
lit, both for operator safety, convenience and for
machine maintenance.
STOCK MOVEMENT Allow sufficient space
around the machine for loading and unloading
work stock.
MAINTENANCE The saw should be placed to
allow easy access to all areas for maintenance
and repairs. Ensure that all doors and access
panels can be opened and the coolant pan
removed without interference.
ANCHORING The saw's leveling screws are
hollow to permit insertion of anchor screws. The
anchor holes need to be drilled in the floor prior
to placement of the machine. Anchor hole size
and spacing dimensions are found on the
technical drawing supplied with the machine.
After a suitable location has been prepared, the
machine can be removed from the skid and
placed in position.
1. Remove all loosely packed items from under
the saw, including the coolant pan. The
coolant pan slides out the side of the saw.
2. The saw is secured to the skid with four
bolts that extend up through the saw's
leveling screws. Remove the nut from each
of the four bolts to free the saw
Do not lift the saw any higher
than necessary to remove the
skid and position the saw.
Avoid serious personal injury
or damage to the saw. Lift the
saw only with the four
eyebolts installed in the saw
table.
3. Using the four (4) eyebolts supplied in the
saw table (see photo in Components section)
lift the saw off the skid with chains and an
overhead crane capable of safely lifting the
weight of the saw.

Never place any part of your
body under the saw while the
saw is suspended.
4. Before lowering the machine to the floor,
make sure the leveling screws protrude
equally through the bottom of the table legs
and place a floor washer (supplied) under
each leveling screw. See Leveling and
Anchoring section below.
5. After the machine is in position, remove the
four eyebolts from the saw table and one (1)
red shipping brace which secures the saw
column. Save these items for future
movement of the machine.
CLEANING
All machined surfaces were coated with a rust
inhibitor prior to shipment and need to be
thoroughly cleaned. Remove the rust inhibitor
with an appropriate solvent.
LEVELING AND ANCHORING
After the machine has been placed in a suitable
location and its machine surfaces have been
cleaned, the saw should be leveled and anchored
as described below.
IMPORTANT: Leveling is extremely
important for consistent accurate cuts.
This is a drawing of a typical leveling screw and
anchor bolt installation.
LEVELING The saw is equipped with four
leveling screws - one on each leg. A floor
washer should have been placed under each
leveling screw when the machine was
positioned for installation. Level the saw by
placing a machinist's level at right angles on the
saw table and adjusting the leveling screws until
the machine is level both side to side and front
to back.
ANCHORING The leveling screws are hollow
to permit the installation of 5/8” or M16 anchor
bolts. To install anchor bolts, the floor must
have been pre-drilled as described in the
Handling and Placement section on page A-1.
Install the anchor bolts through the leveling
screws, into the floor and install a 5/8" or M16
washer and hex nut on each anchor bolt.
IMPORTANT: After installing the anchor
bolts, check the saw table to ensure it is still
level. Loosen the anchor bolts and re-level the
saw if necessary.
ASSEMBLY
After the machine is leveled and anchored, the
saw components can be assembled.
INSTALLING AND WIRING THE
COOLANT PUMP
1. Slide the coolant pan between the front legs
of the saw and push it until the pan is
centered between the legs. Make sure the
