Read entire instruction manual
before attempting setup or operation. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury.
6.0 Installation/assembly
1. Finish uncrating saw and inspect for shipping
damage. Should any have occurred, contact
your local distributor.
2. Remove all bolts attaching machine to pallet.
3. Leave packing material between vise clamps
and saw head, and around control arm, intact
until band saw has been lifted to its final
position.
For best performance, the band saw should be
located on a solid and level foundation. Allow room
for servicing and for moving large stock around the
band saw when deciding a location for the machine.
4. Use a forklift or hoist, with lifting straps that are
isolated from the band saw’s finished surfaces,
to lift saw and place in desired location.
5. Install four leveling bolts with nuts through the
holes at both sides of the base, as shown in the
parts breakdown, sect. 13.1.1, items 95 and 96.
6. Place a level on the table surface and check
side-to-side and front-to-back. Adjust leveling
screws until machine is level in both directions,
then tighten nuts to secure setting.
7. Cut any straps holding the saw control arm to
the base. (Do not cut the cord holders securing
the electrical cable to the control arm.) Mount
the control box arm to the side of the band saw,
using the provided fasteners.
8. Clean all rust protected surfaces with kerosene
or diesel oil to remove protective coating. Do
not use gasoline, paint thinner or mineral spirits,
as these may damage painted surfaces.
9. Lubricate all slideways with SAE 10W oil.
7.0 Electrical connections
JET recommends that any
wiring involving hard wiring of the saw to a
branch, or any change of voltage supplied to the
motor be performed by a licensed electrician.
Use appropriate Lock Out/Tag Out procedures.
Observe the following when connecting to the power
source (wiring diagrams shown in section 14.0).
1. Use proper Lock Out/Tag Out procedures.
Make sure saw is disconnected from power
source, or that the fuses have been removed or
breakers tripped in the circuit to which the saw
will be connected. Place a warning placard on
the fuse or circuit breaker to prevent accidental
electrical shock.
2. If you are installing the motor power cord into a
receptacle, make sure to use the appropriate
plug.
3. If you are using hard-wired connections to a
junction box, connect the wires in the box, and
close the box.
4. Install the fuses or reset the breaker.
5. The saw is now ready for service.
8.0 Work setup
8.1 Securing workpiece for square
cuts
1. Raise saw head (Figure 5). (Sect. 10.4 explains
operating controls).
2. Slide left vise jaw far enough to the left to allow
workpiece to be placed in vise.
3. Position workpiece on work table. If workpiece
is long, provide support at the other end. It may
also be necessary to provide additional
downward clamping to hold workpiece securely
on work table.
4. Turn clamping handwheel clockwise to clamp
workpiece in position against fixed (right) vise
jaw.
5. After completing cut, turn clamping handwheel
counterclockwise and slide left jaw away from
workpiece.
Figure 5: Securing workpiece
8.2 Adjusting vise for angle cuts
1. Loosen angle locking screw and pivot screw on
left vise jaw. See Figure 6.
2. Turn locking handle on the round, angle-setting
block counterclockwise to unlock the block.
Slide the block until pointer on the block is
aligned with desired angle. Tighten locking
handle to secure the angle.
3. Set workpiece in vise. Place front end of
workpiece against corner of right vise jaw.
Place rear end of workpiece against angle-
setting block.
