6. Attach motor tilt plate (B, Figure 5-3) to motor
bracket using the provided locking handle (C,
Figure 5-3) with lock washer and flat washer.
Figure 5-3: motor locking handle
Note: Locking handle (C) is adjustable. Pull out on
handle and rotate it on the pin to a more convenient
position, then release it. Make sure it reseats on the
pin.
5.4.2 V-belt and pulley cover
1. Loosen tilt locking handle (C, Figure 5-3), and
allow motor to lower. Place v-belt around both
pulleys.
2. Push up motor and tighten tilt locking handle (C)
to tension v-belt. Correct tension is achieved
when finger pressure midway between the two
pulleys causes approximately 1/2” deflection.
See Figure 5-4.
3. Remove two hex cap bolts and washers (D,
Figure 5-4).
4. Position belt cover (E, Figure 5-4) around pulley
shafts and attach to saw with the two bolts and
washers.
5. Close pulley cover and fasten with knob.

5.5 Control box
Mount the control box atop the bow using the screws
that are preinstalled in the two holes.
5.6 Lubrication
The band saw is shipped with the appropriate level
of gear oil. The operator should verify this before
using the saw, by checking the sight glass. (See
Figure 11-2 for location.)
Cutting fluid/coolant must be supplied by the
operator. See sect. 11.0.
6.0 Electrical connections
Electrical connections must be
made by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all relevant codes. This machine must be
properly grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
The HBS-916EVS and HBS-1018EVS are prewired
for single phase, 115 volt incoming power. The
inverter converts the incoming current to the 230 volt
required by the three phase motor. Confirm that
power available at the saw’s location matches that
for which the saw is wired.
An unattached power cable with plug is provided
with the machine. The user may connect the 115V
power cable, or “hardwire” the machine directly to
an electrical panel. If hardwiring to a panel, a
disconnect between panel and machine must be
made available to the operator.
Before wiring, make sure saw is disconnected from
power source or the fuses have been removed or
breakers tripped in the circuit to which the saw will
be connected. Use appropriate Lock-Out/Tag-Out
procedures.
6.1 Connecting motor cable
1. Loosen strain relief nut on motor junction box.
Remove junction box cover.
2. Insert motor cable (see F, Figure 5-2) through
strain relief and connect the leads inside the
box. Make sure the grounding wire is properly
connected.
3. Tighten strain relief nut and replace junction box
cover.
6.2 Connecting power cable
1. On right side of base, loosen strain relief nut on
junction box. Remove junction box cover.
2. Insert power cable through strain relief and
connect the leads inside the box. Make sure the
grounding wire is properly connected.
3. Tighten strain relief nut and replace junction box
cover.
6.3 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
