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
perso nnel on ly. If you are no t fam iliar w ith 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, JET
disclaims any real or implied warranty and
hold s itself harmles s from a ny injury t hat may
result from that use.

6. Always wear ANSI 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 machine, 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.

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 contains 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 after
maintenance is complete.

16. Make sure workpiece is securely clamped in
the vise. Never use your hand to hold the
workpiece.

17. Check coolant level frequently. Replace dirty
or weak coolant.

18. 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.

8.0 Electrical connections

2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less
than 150 volts:

Electrical connections must

be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.

The HBS-812G Band Saw is rated at 115/230V
power, and pre-wired for 115 volt. The band saw
comes with a plug designed for use on a circuit
with a grounded outlet that looks like the one
pictured in A, Figure 10.

Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in off position.

It is recommended that the band saw be connected
to a dedicated 15 amp circuit with a 15 amp circ uit
breaker or time-delay fuse. Local codes take

precedence over recommendations.

8.1 Grounding instructions

1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce t he risk of electr ic 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 installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
cond uctor with insulation having an o uter surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment­grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified

electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded. Failure to comply
may cause serious or fatal injury.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure

10. An adapter, shown in B and C, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
in B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only unt il a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. This adapter is not permitted
in Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and
the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box.

3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
between 150 - 250 volts, inclusive:

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in D, Figure

10. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in D. Make sure the tool is
connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter is available
or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be
reconnected for use on a diff erent type of electric
circuit, the reconnection should be made by
qualified service personnel; and after reconnection,
the tool should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.

Figure 10

8.2 Voltage conversion

1. To switch the incoming power leads for 230
volt operation, follow the wiring diagram on the
inside cover of motor junction box. Similar
diagrams are shown in Figures 11/12.

2. Change the wiring inside the junction box of
the coolant pump, according to the diagram
found there.

3. The plug on the end of the motor cord must be
replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug rated for
230V.

9.0 Adjustments

The settings on your band saw, such as blade
squareness and tracking, were caref ully perf ormed
by the manufacturer. You should, however, verify
these before operating, in case misalignment has
occurred during shipping.

9.1 Squaring blade to table

Figure 11

Figure 12

8.3 Extension cords

The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position equipment near the power source. If an
extension cord becomes necessary, make sure the
cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on
the machine’s motor plate. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.

Use Table 1 as a general guide in choosing the
correct size cord. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.

9.4 Setting feed rate

The feed rate of the blade into the workpiece is
important to band saw performance. Excessive
pressure of blade against the workpiece may break
the blade or stall the saw. In contrast, insufficient
pressure rapidly dulls the blade.

The hydraulic cylinder resists movement of the bow
in the downward direction. It offers no resistance
when the bow is raised.

Figure 15

9.3.2 Miter c u t

1. Loosen screws on fixed jaw (C, Figure 16),
and floating jaw (E).

2. Swing both jaws to match desired angle on
scale (G). Tighten screws (C).

Note: The angle scale is sufficient for most
mitering operations. If greater precision is
needed, verify setting with a protractor.

3. Loosen screws (E) on floating jaw, and use
handwheel (F) to bring floating jaw into contact

To increase feed rate, turn dial (A, Figure 17)
counterclockwise. To decrease, turn clockwise.

To close hydraulic flow, turn lever (B) down,
perpendicular to cylinder, as shown in Figure 17.
To open hydraulic flow, turn lever (B) parallel to
cylinder.

Figure 17

Feed rate is adjusted by t he operator unt il the saw
is operating efficiently, usually determined by

13

observing chip formation. See section 11.4,
Evaluating cutting efficiency.

9.5 Counterbalance spring

The counterbalance spring helps control the
amount of weight the saw bow puts on the
workpiece when the hydraulic control valve is fully
open. The hydraulic cylinder will not compensate
for improper counterbalance.

If the spring is not set properly, one can expect
poor performance, crooked cuts, tooth stripping,
stalling, and/or the blade running off the wheels.

Spring tension has been set by the manufacturer,
and should not require adjustment. If future
problems arise, indicating improper
counterbalance, adjust spring as follows:

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Turn ON hydraulic cylinder valve and place
saw bow in horizontal position.

3. Turn feed rate valve on hydraulic cylinder
counterclockwise until it stops.

4. Place a weigh scale (such as a spring or
hanging scale) beneath blade tension handle,
and lift saw bow. Scale should indicate
approximately 5 to 6 kg (11-13 lb).

5. If adjustment is needed, loosen one nut and
tighten th e other (A, Figure 18) on the eye bolt,
until scale indicates 5 to 6 kg.

they straddle the work, severe damage to the
workpiece and to the blade can result.

To replace a blade:

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Raise bow to vertical position, and secure in
place by turning off hydraulic cylinder.

3. Remove red blade guard by removing two
screws (A, Figure 19).

Red blade guard must be

reinstalled after new blade is fitted.

Figure 19

4. Remove brush assembly (B, Figure 19) by
removing two screws.

5. Loosen blade tension by turning handle (C,
Figure 20) counterclockwise.

Figure 18

9.6 Blade installation/replacement

This band saw is designed for

use with blades that are 3/4" wide by 0.032”
thick x 93” long. Use of blades with different
specification may cause inferior performance.

A general-use variable-tooth blade is provided with
this band saw.

The choice of blade pitch is governed by the
thickness of the work to be cut: the thinner the
workpiece, the more teeth advised. A minimum of
three teeth should engage the workpiece at all
times. If the teeth of the blade are so far apart that

Figure 20

6. Open back cover by loosening two lock knobs.

7. Carefully remove old blade. NOTE: Leather

gloves are recommended when handling saw
blades.

8. Install new blade first between bearing guides.
Make sure blade teeth face same direction as
shown on the blade direction label on saw. (If
teeth still point in wrong direction despite
mounting blade properly, the blade has been
turned inside-out. Twist blade right side-out
and reinstall.)

14

9. Position blade around wheels, making sure it
rests near the flange on both wheels.

10. Tension blade using handle. Do not over­tension. See section 9.7, Blade tension.

11. Close back cover and secure with knobs.

12. Install red blade guard, and brush assembly.

13. Connect machine to power source.

14. Run machine to verify that blade is tracking
properly. See section 9.8, Blade tracking.

9.7 Blade tension

Disconnect machine from

power source, and use caution when working
with sharp blade.

Blade tension is vital to achieving proper results
from the band saw. For shipping purposes, the
blade may not be at full tension – verify tension
before operating.

Proper blade tension is 1550 to 1760 kg/cm2
(22000-25000 lb/in2) as measured on a blade
tension gauge (not provided).

To set tension without the use of a tension gauge:

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Install blade between wheels and between
bearings on blade guides.

3. Lightly tension blade to remove any sag by
turning handle (C, Figure 20) slightly
clockwise.

4. Turn tension handle (C, Figure 20) 1-3/4 to two
revolutions clockwise. This is equivalent to 800
kg (1764 lb) of blade tension.

Do not overtighten blade;

this may cause it to stretch or warp.

9.8 Blade tracking

Tracking the blade requires

that the band saw be operating while t he back
cover is removed. This adjustment should be
performed by qualified persons only.

Blade tracking has been tested at the factory.
Adjustment is rarely required when the blade is
used properly and if the blade is correctly welded.
If a tracking problem occurs, first inspect blade
condition, then adjust tracking as follows:

1. Raise bow to vertical position and secure by
turning off hydraulic cylinder valve.

2. The blade should be properly tensioned. Refer
to section 9.7 Blade tension.

3. Open back cover.

While performing the following

steps, keep the blade from rubbing excessively
on wheel flange. Excess rubbing will damage
wheel and/or blade.

4. Start saw and observe blade movement. Blade
should run next to, but not tightly against,
wheel flange.

5. If blade will not track in position, loosen
screws (E, Figure 21), but do not remove.

6. Turn set screw (F, Figure 21) counter­clockwise so that blade starts to move away
from the flange; then immediately turn set
screw in the other direction so that blade
stops, then moves slowly back toward flange.
NOTE: This adjustment is sensitive; do it
gradually and in small increments allowing
blade to respond to the changes.

5. Close covers, connect to power source, and
run saw for 2 to 3 minutes to allow blade to
seat properly.

6. Disconnect machine from power source. Open
cover and loosen blade until it just begins to
sag.

7. Tighten blade until it straightens between
blade wheels and all sag is eliminated.

8. Tighten blade b y turning handle (C, Fig ure 20)
two full revolutions.

TIP: Slacken blade tension when finished with
operations, to prolong blade life. Make note of
indicator position on tension label (D, Figure 20) for
quickly returning tension to its previous setting.

Figure 21

15

Keep fingers clear of blade

and wheel to avoid injury .

7. Turn set screw to stop shifting of blade on the
wheel as it gets closer to wheel flange. Put a
six-inch length of paper between blade and
wheel. The paper should not be cut as it
passes between wheel flange and blade.

8. Turn set screw a small amount. Repeat the
insertion of paper between wheel flange and
blade until paper is cut into two pieces.

NOTE: You may have to repeat the c heck with
the paper several times before the blade and
the flange cut the paper into two pieces. Do
not hurry the adjustment. Patience and
accuracy here will pay off with better, more
accurate, quieter cutting and longer machine
and blade life.

9. When the paper is cut, back off the set screw
slightly. This assures that the blade is not
touching the flange of the wheel.

10. Tighten two screws (E, Figure 21).

Figure 22

9.9 Test cutting to verify adjustment

Test cuts can be used to determine whether or not
you have adjusted the blade accurately. Use 2-inch
round bar stock to perform these test cuts, as
follows:

1. With bar stock securely clamped in the vise,
make a cut through the bar stock (see Figure

22.)

2. Mark the top of the bar stock.

3. Move the bar stock about 1/4-inch past the
blade so that you can begin a second cut.

4. Rotate the bar stock 180 degrees so the mark
you made is now at the bottom of the cut.

5. Make a cut through the bar stock.

6. Use a micrometer to measure the thickness
variation of the disk you have cut from the bar
stock. Measure at top and bottom of disk.

The saw blade can be considered correctly
adjusted when the variation measure is no more
than 0.012 inch across the face of the disk.

If you do not have a piece of 2-inch bar stock
available for a test cut, use a larger diameter test
piece rather than a smaller one. The maximum
thickness variation on any test piece should be no
more than 0.003 inch, per side, per inch of stock
diameter.

9.10 Blade speed

1. Turn machine OFF.

2. Turn lever (Figure 23) to desired setting –
1 = 145 feet per minute

2 = 200 feet per minute
3 = 245 feet per minute

Do not change blade speed

during cutting operation.
Material chips or shavings are the best indicator of

proper blade speed and downfeed rate. See

section 11.4, Evaluating cutting efficiency.

Figure 23

16

9.11 Blade guide adjustment

1. Loosen knobs (A, Figure 24).

2. Slide guide assemblies as close to workpiece
as possible without interfering with cut. This
will prevent excessive blade exposure, and
deflection of blade during cutting.

3. Retighten knobs.

Figure 24

The guide bearings come pre-adjusted from the
factory, but should be inspected frequently and
adjustments made as needed.

For most efficient operation and maximum
accuracy, provide 0.001” clearance between the
blade and the guide bearings. The bearings will still
turn freely with this clearance. If the clearance is
incorrect, the blade may track off the drive wheel.

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Raise bow to vertical and secure in place by
turning off hydraulic cylinder.

3. Loosen socket head cap screw (B, Figure 25)
and adjust guide assembly until back roller
bearing (C) is slightly contacting back edge of
blade.

Make sure power is

disconnected and hands are protected
before handling blade.

6. Tighten nut (D).

7. Repeat for other blade guide assembly.

Figure 26

9.12 Chip brush

The chip brush (B, Figure 19) must be properly
adjusted and maintained in working condition;
otherwise damage to blade can occur. Adj ust the
brush so that its bristles overlap the blade.

Replace brush if it becomes worn or damaged.

9.13 On/off switch

The stop scr ew (A, Figure 27)

must be properly adjusted to prevent damage
to the on/off switch.

Make sure the stop screw (A, Figure 27) is properly
adjusted in conjunction with the shut-off tab (B,
Figure 27). Too much pressure from the shut-off
tab can damage the on/off switch.

Figure 25

4. Loosen nut (D) and rotate eccentric shaft (E)
to adjust side bearing until bearing just
touches side of blade. Do not pinch the blade.

5. Blade should still move up and down freely
when grasped as in Figure 26. Make sure
blade teeth do not interfere with guide
bearings.

Figure 27

17

10.0 Operating controls

To start saw, toggle switch (C, Figure 27) to ON.
To stop saw before it reaches the end of cut, toggle

switch (C) to OFF. Otherwise, saw will
automatically stop at the end of a cut.

Toggle the coolant switch (D, Figure 28) to ON.
Flow of coolant to blade area is controlled by the
taps connected to the blade guide assemblies.

Figure 28

IMPORTANT: When cutting magnesium, never
use soluble oils or emulsions (oil-water mix) as
water will greatly intensify any accidental
magnesium chip fire. See your industrial coolant
supplier for specific coolant recommendations
when cutting magnesium.

11.0 Operation

11.1 Pre-Operation inspection

Give machine an overall inspection and verify the
following:

1. Guards and covers are in place and in working
order.

2. Blade tooth direction matches diagram on
bow.

3. Blade is properly tensioned, and tracking
correctly on wheels.

following procedure will be adequate for break-in of
JET-supplied blades on lower alloy ferrous
materials.

1. Clamp a round section workpiece in the vise.
The workpiece should be 2 inc hes or larger in
diameter.

2. Set the saw on low speed. Start the c ut with a
very light feed rate.

3. When the saw has completed 1/3 of the cut,
increase the feed rate slightly and allow the
saw to complete the cut.

4. Keep the same hydraulic cylinder setting and
begin a second cut on the same or similar
workpiece.

5. When the blade has completed about 1/3 of
the cut, increase feed rate. Watch the chip
formation until cutting is at its most efficient
rate and allow the saw to complete the cut
(see section 11.4, Evaluating cutting
efficiency).

6. The blade is now ready for regular service.

11.3 General operating procedure

1. Raise bow until it will clear workpiece by a few
inches, and close hydraulic cylinder valve to
secure it in place.

NOTE: Never start a cut with blade
contacting workpiece.

2. Place workpiece in vise and tighten vise. The
workpiece should be fitted directly between the
jaws without adding other objects.

When workpiece to be cut is a profiled section,
flat piece or special shape, refer to examples
in Figure 29 for proper clamping positions. The
top row shows acceptable clamping positio ns;
the bottom row shows unacceptable positions.

If thickness of profiled section is very thin, a
piece which duplicates the profile should be
fitted inside the workpiece itself, to prevent
workpiece being crushed between the jaws.

4. Side and rear blade guide bearings are
properly adjusted.

5. Coolant level is sufficient.

6. Gearbox is properly lubricated.

7. Do not begin cut on a sharp edge; file edge
first.

11.2 Blade break-in procedure

New blades are very sharp and, therefore, have a
tooth geometry which is easily damaged if a careful
break-in procedure is not followed. Consult the
blade manufacturer’s literature for break-in of
specific blades on specific materials. However, the

Figure 29

Never hold a workpiece by

hand when cutting it – t he workpiece s hould be
firmly secured in the vise. Do not reach into the
cutting area during cutting operations.

18

3. Position work stop if needed.

4. Position blade guides as close to workpiece as
possible.

5. Move speed setting lever to desired position.

Do not move speed setting lever during a
cutting operation.

6. Set a suitable feed rate for that operation on
the hydraulic cylinder dial.

7. Toggle ON switch to begin blade rotation.
Allow blade to reach full speed before
beginning cut.

8. Turn on coolant flow. Adjust flow valves as
needed.

9. Open valve on hydraulic cy linder to allow bow
to descend in a gradual and controlled
ma nne r .

10. The machine will shut off at the completion of
the cut. Turn off coolant flow and remove
workpiece.

11. Return bow to raised position for next cut.

11.4 Evaluating cutting efficiency

Is the blade cutting efficiently? The best way to
determine this is to observe the chips formed by
the cut.

If chip formation is powdery, then t he feed rate is
much too light, or the blade is dull.

If chips are curled, but colored — that is, either
blue or straw-colored from heat generated during
the cut — then the feed rate is too high.

If chips are slightly curled and are not colored by
heat, the blade is sufficiently sharp and is cutting at
its most efficient rate.

Check guide bearings frequently to make sure t hat
they are properly adjusted and turning freely.

Grease the vise lead screw (Figure 30) as needed,
with a general purpose grease.

Figure 30

If the power cord is worn, c ut, or damaged in any
way, have it replaced immediately.

Ball bearings on blade guide assemblies and blade
wheels are permanently lubricated and sealed.
They require no further lubrication.

Place a thin coat of oil on the table surface on
which the vise jaw slides.

12.1 Coolant level

Maintain coolant level. Low coolant level can cause
foaming and high blade temperatures. Replace
dirty coolant; dirty or weak coolant can clog the
pump, cause crooked cuts, a low cutting rate
and/or permanent blade damage. To fill the tank,
remove the filter cup and pour coolant into the hole
to about 80% of full capacity. Full capacity is 9
liters (2.5 gal). Follow coolant manufacturer’s
instructions for proper use and disposal.

12.0 Maintenance

Before doing maintenance on

the machine, disconnect it from the electrical
supply by pulling out the plug or switching off
the main switch! Failure to comply m ay cause
serious inju ry.

Keep all surfaces clean and free of rust, slag,
chips , and coolant build-up.

Clear metal particles with a small paint brush or
parts cleaning brush.

Clean filter screen.
Do not use compressed air, as it may force chips

into the guide bearings and ot her critical areas of
the saw.

Wipe saw down with a clean, dry cloth, and oi l all
unpainted surfaces with light machine oil.

Keep blade guides clean and free of metal
particles.

12.2 Gear box

To change gear box oil:

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Place bow in vertical position.

3. Remove drain plug (A, Figure 31) and drain oil.
(Follow local regulations for disposal of used
oil.)

4. Reinstall drain plug and return bow to
horizontal position.

5. Remove vent plug (B), and fill gear box
through the hole with approximately 0.3L
(10.14 oz.) of 90W oil.

6. Rein st all vent plug ( B ) .

Completely drain and refill gear box after the first
90 days of operation. Thereafter, change every six
months.

19

Periodically, after draining remove screws, cover
and gasket, and wipe out residual oil from gearbox
interior with a rag, before refilling. Also do this if
ch anging oil brands.
