5.7 Installing table
Table is heavy; an assistant is
recommended.
Position table onto trunnion and line up table to
trunnion slots. Insert screws and washers (HP3/5,
Figure 5-4). Only hand tighten screws at this time –
blade must be installed and table aligned before
fully tightening.
Follow all instructions concerning blade installation
and adjustment, then proceed with table alignment
in sect. 5.15.

5.8 Installing blade
Note: A blade is not provided with the saw. You may
purchase one locally, or from your JET dealer. See
sect. 4.0 for blade requirements of the JWBS-
14SFX.
Disconnect machine from
power source before installing blade.
Wear gloves when handling
blades. New blades are usually packaged in
coiled position; to prevent injury uncoil them
slowly and carefully while wearing work gloves
and safety glasses.
1. Disconnect band saw from power source.
2. Pull table pin (K, Figure 5-5) out of its slot, and
remove table insert (B).

3. Back off upper and lower blade guides to allow
gap for blade insertion (see sect. 5.12 through
5.14).
4. Raise quick tension lever (see D, Figure 5-7) to
release position. If needed, rotate tension
handwheel (E, Figure 5-7) counterclockwise for
further detensioning.
5. Open upper and lower doors by rotating door
knobs.
6. Remove dust block (C, Figure 5-6).
Figure 5-6
7. Guide blade through table slot. Place blade
loosely in upper and lower blade guides. Make
sure blade teeth point down toward table, and
toward front of saw.
(If the teeth will not point down, no matter how
the blade is oriented, then blade is inside-out.
Twist it into correct orientation and re-install it.)
8. Position blade at center of upper and lower
wheels.
