1.Read and understand the entire owners manual before attempting assembly or operation.

2.Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of these warnings may cause serious injury.

3.Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.

4.This band saw is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a band saw, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.

5.Do not use this band saw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, WMH Tool Group disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from that use.

6.Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this band saw. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

7.Before operating this band saw, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are recommended. Do not wear gloves.

8.Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.

9.Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

Lead from lead based paint.

Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

10.Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

11.Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.

12.Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

13.Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.

14.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

15.Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.

16.Make sure the band saw is firmly secured to the floor or bench before use.

17.Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

18.Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

19.Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.

20.Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.

4

21.Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

22.Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are careless acts that can result in serious injury.

23.Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the blade or other moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.

24.Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and safer.

25.Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.

26.Maintain tools with care. Keep blade sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

27.Make sure the work piece is held firmly against the rip fence or miter gauge as it is fed through the blade.

28.Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove chips or debris — do not use your hands.

29.Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.

30.Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.

31.Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.

Familiarize yourself with the following safety notices used in this manual:

This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor injury and/or possible machine damage.

Assembly of JWBS-14OS

NOTE: If any of the assembly procedures need further clarification, refer to the exploded views in the back of this manual.

Tools Required for Assembly

Metric combination wrench set and adjustable wrench

#1 and #2 cross point screwdrivers

1.Place stand top upside down on a level surface. Fasten four stand legs to stand top using carriage bolts, washers, lock washers, and nuts, as shown in item A on page 7. Note: Stand legs fasten to outside of stand top (Figure 1). Do not tighten at this time.

2.Fasten two long braces and two short braces to stand legs using carriage bolts, washers, lock washers, and nuts, as shown in item A, page 7. Do not tighten at this time. See Figure 2.

3.Turn assembly over and stand it on its legs. Push down slightly on the top to make sure the stand settles properly and all four legs sit flat on a level surface. Tighten all nuts.

Saw body is heavy! Use caution when lifting and stabilize until firmly attached to the stand! Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

4.With the aid of a second person, lift the saw body out of the shipping container and place onto the stand top. Be sure front of saw (with JET logo) faces stand front (JET logo). See photo on cover for orientation.

5.Line up holes in saw body with holes in stand. Place support plate to the underside of stand as shown in the parts diagram for the open stand assembly (item 5, page 30). Fasten saw body, stand, and support plate together with four hex cap screws, eight flat washers, four lock washers, and four hex nuts, as shown in item B on page 7.

6.To mount the motor, place four rubber grommets over holes in stand top (Figure 3). Note: Use of rubber grommets is essential for eliminating excessive vibration.

7.Place motor over rubber grommets and fasten to stand top with four hex cap screws, eight flat washers, four lock washers, and four hex nuts, as shown in item C, page 7. See Figure 4. The arrangement of these fasteners is shown in Figure 5. Do not tighten at this time.

8.Align the motor pulley with the large pulley using a straight edge against the flat sides of the pulleys, as shown in Figure 6. The pulleys should lie in a straight plane (Figure 7). Slide the motor as needed to align the pulleys. If further adjustment is required, loosen the set screw in one or more of the pulleys and move the pulley(s) until they line up. Tighten set screw(s).

IMPORTANT: When moving the pulleys, do not position them beyond the end of the shaft. Both pulleys must fully engage the shaft and the key.
