Electrical Connection

All electrical connections
must be done by a qualified electrician. All adjustments or repairs must be done with the machine disconnected from the power source, unplugged. Failure to comply may result in serious injury!
The Model J-9225 bandsaw is rated at 230V. This machine is not sup plied with a plug. Use a
plug and outlet rated at least 20amps. The circuit for the mac hine should also be protected by at least a 20 amp circuit breaker or fuse.
Make sure that the blade moves in the correct direction. If it does not, simply reverse
two of the phase wires on the supply input. The sawing machine is now ready for use.

Controls and Indicators

Control Panel

The operating controls for the bandsaw are located on the control panel (Figure 4) and consist of the following controls and indicators:
Emergency Stop Switch – by depressing this switch the user can quickly stop the machine when it is in operat ion; to restart, turn clockwise slightly to release then press Start switch
Feed Rate Control – used in conjunction with the Feed Rate Start/Stop Control (see below); this knob is used to set the downward head speed that is applied to the s aw blad e. The f eed rate is proportional to the opening of the valve. When set to zero, the sa w head is locked in position. Increasing the valve open ing (counter-clockwise adjustment) increas es the feed rate; decreasing the valve opening (clockwise adjustment) reduces the feed rate.
Feed Rate Start/Stop Control – used in conjunction with the Feed Rate Control (see above); in the locked position the saw head is prevented from descending; in the unlocked position the saw head will descend at the rate determined by the Feed Rate Control setting.
Motor Speed Selector – select Low for 137 SFPM, High for 275 SFPM; machine will not operate when Off is selected.
On/Off Switch – main power switch Standby Lamp Indicator – indicates that po wer is
present, i.e., machine is plugged in and On/Off Switch in set to ON.
Start Switch – pres s to start machine, also: set On/Off Switch to ON, select Motor Speed Selector to Low or High, Emergency Stop must be released.

Blade Speeds

The Model J-9225 bandsaw has two blade speeds which are set by the Motor Speed Selector dial (D, Fig . 4). In normal operation t he machine is stopped, the speed selected (Low/High) then restarted. Changing the speed while in operation will shu t the machine off and will require restarting (E, Fig. 4).
Figure 4

Blade Selection

Operations

The bandsaw is deliver ed with a saw blade that is adequate for a variety of cut-off jobs on a variety of comm on materials. A gen eral-purpose blade is provided as standard equipment with the machine. After-market blades can be acquired for specific cutting jobs.
A coarse blade could be used for a solid steel bar, but a finer tooth blade would be used on a thin-wall steel tube. In g eneral, the blade choic e is determined by the thickness of the material; the thinner the materials; the finer the tooth pitch.
A minimum of three teeth should be on the workpiece at all times for proper cutting. The blade and workpiece can be damaged if the teeth are so far apart that they straddle the workpiece.
For very high production on cutting of special materials, or to cut hard-to-cut materials suc h as stainless steel, tool steel, or titanium, call JET for more specific blade recommendations. JET can provide you with very specific instructions regarding the best blade ( and coolant or cutting fluid, if needed) for the material or shape supplied.

Hydraulic Feed Control

The weight of the saw head provides the force needed to cut through the workpiece. T he cut -off saw has a hydraulic cylinder that controls the feed rate of the saw.
The hydraulic feed control circuit consists of a single acting hydraulic cylinder and a feed rate control. The feed contr ol cylinder resists motion in the downward direction to control the feed rate. The control cylinder offers no resistance when raised upward.
The feed rate control knob (Figure 4) controls the rate at which the s aw head is lowered. The control knob (needle valve) controls the rate at which the hydraulic fluid is released from the hydraulic cylinder. When the needle valve is closed, the cylinder is locked. With the needle valve slightly open, the c ylinder permits s low, or light, downward forc e. Opening the needle v alve further increases the feed rate.
The needle valve is adjusted until the saw is operating efficientl y. The efficiency of operation is usually evaluate d b y obs er ving c h ip f ormation. Blade efficiency is further described below.

Blade Break-in Procedures

New blades are very sharp and, therefore, have a tooth geometry that is easily damaged if a careful break-in procedure is not followed. Consult the blade manufacturer’s literature for break-in of specif ic blades on specific m aterials. However, the following procedure will be adequate for break-in of JET-supplied blades on lower alloy ferrous materials.
1. Clamp a section of round s tock in the vise. The stock should be 2 inches or larger in diameter.
2. Operate the saw at low speed. S tart the cut with a very light feed rate.
3. When the saw has com pleted 1/3 of the cut, increase the feed rate slightl y and allow the saw to complete the cut.
4. Keep the hydraulic cylinder needle valve in the same position and begin a second cut on the same or similar workpiece.
5. When the blade has completed ab out 1/3 of the cut, increase the feed rate.
Watch the chip formation until cutting is at its most efficient rate and allow the saw to complete the cut (refer to Evaluating Blade Efficiency below). The blade is no w consid-
ered ready for use.

Evaluating Cutting Efficiency

Is the blade cutting ef ficiently? The best way to determine this is to obs erve the chips f ormed by the cutting blade.
If the chip formation is powder y, then the feed is much too light or the blade is dull.
If the chips formed are curled, but c ol ored – blue or straw colored from heat generated during the cut – then the feed rate is too high.
If the chips are slightly curled and are not colored by heat – the b lade is sufficiently sharp and is cutting at its most efficient rate.
10

Setting the Work Stop

Referring to Figure 5: The work stop is an accessory that is included
with the JET J-9225 Bandsaw. It is used to set up the saw for making multiple c uts of the same length.
Do not allow the blade to rest
on the workpiece when the saw is not cutting.
Installation
1. Insert the distance set rod (A) into the hole (B) at the front of the base as shown.
2. Secure by tightening the socket setscrew (C) with a 3mm hex wrench.
Adjustment
3. The distanc e set brac ket (D) is m oved a long the distance set rod (A) by loosening the lock handle (E). The stop rod (F) can be repositioned (G) by loosening lock handle (H) and also by rotating the set rod (A) to reposition the angle of the bracket (D).

Quick Release Vise Operation

Referring to Figure 6: The vise on the J-9225 bandsaw comes
equipped with a quick-release handle that permits the workpiec e to be rapidly repositioned or changed for a repeated cutting operation while requiring onl y one initial adjustment of the vise handwheel. This is done as follows:
Figure 5
1. Place the quick-release handl e (A) in the up position as shown.
2. Turn the handwheel (B) counterclockwise until the workpiece can be placed in position.
3. Place the workpiece (C) in the vise (D) and against the work stop (E); turn the hand- wheel (B) unti l the vise beg ins to clam p onto the workpiece. Then back the handwhe el off just enough to perm it the workpiece to slide in and out of the vise.
4. Place the quick-release handle (A) in the down position. The work piece is secure and ready for cutting.
The vise is now set up for a repeated cutting operation. Simply raise the quick-release handle, reposition or replace the workpiece a nd reset the handle down again.

Adjustments

Blade Guide Adjustment

Refer to Figure 9. The J-9225 Bandsaw has two blade guide assemblies; one is stationary (A mounted to the body of the saw head. The other, consisting of a blade guide support or bracket (B) and blade guide (C), is adjustable.
The position of the blade guides is important in order to make accurate cuts and prolong blade life and is determined by the size of the workpiece. Adjustm ent is made as follows:
1. Place the workpiece (D) in the vise (E) and clam p tightly.
2. Loosen the lock handle (F).
3. Slide the guide support (B) left or right so that it just clears the piece to be cut (D).
4. Tighten the lock handle (F).

at the factory and should rarely require adjustment. It is always better to try a new blade when cutting
performance is poor. If performance remains poor after changing the blade, check the blad e guides for proper guide bearing operation and maximum accuracy, clearance between the blade and the guide b earings should be
0.001-inch. The bear ings will still turn f reely with this
clearance. If the clear anc e i s inc orr ec t, the bla de may track off the drive wheel.
Disconnect the bandsaw saw
from its electrical power source.
If required, adjust the bearing and guide block on one assembly then the other as follows:
1. Using a 3mm hex wrench, loosen two set-screws (A) that secure the eccentric bushings.
2. Using a 4mm hex wrench, loosen the socket head cap screw (E) securing the guide block (F).
3. With a 12mm wrench, loos en the hex nut (G) that secures the guide block adjustment setscrew (H).
4. Position the bearings (B) by tur ning the bushings (C) with a flat­clearance between the bearings (B) and blade (D) at approximately 0.001 inch.
When properly adjus ted, the b lade s houl d be in a vertical position be tween the bearings as shown in Figure 11.

7. When it is seated against t he shoulder, turn the blade tension handle (J) clockwise to increase the tension until the scale for the 1" blade tension measures 20–28KPSI (K) (green zone) on the tension indicator (L).
8. Replace the wheel cover (B) and blade guards (C, D) and brush (M).
9. Reconnect the saw to the electrical power source.

Cleaning

Coolant

Clean off any preservative on machine surfaces. After cleaning:
1. Coat machined surfaces of the cutoff saw with a medium consistency machine oil. Reapply the oil coating at least every six months.
2. Clean up accumulated saw cuttings after use. Make sure th e lea d sc r ew an d r a pi d n ut are kept free from saw cuttings and other material that would cause damage.
3. Clean the chip sludge from the c oolant tank. The frequency should be d eter mined by how often the saw is used.

Lubrication

Lubricate the following components at the specified frequencies and using the lubricants defined as follows:
Ball Bearings – the bearings are lubr icated and sealed – periodic lubrication is not required.
Blade Guide Bearing – the bear ings are lubri­cated and sealed – periodic lubrication is not required.
Change coolant on a frequency appropriate to the type of coolant being used. Oil based coolants can sour. Refer to the coolant supplier’s instructions for change frequency.
The general-purpose coolant is a mixture of water-soluble oil or synthetic based cool ant and water. Mix one part of coolant to ten parts of water (one quart of oil to ten quarts water). Twelve quarts of coolant is the amount required for the coolant pum p to operate properl y. Verify that the coolant level is visible in the indicator (Figure 14).
There are numerous coola nts on the m arket that are formulated for special applications. Consult your local distribut or for details in the event you have a long range production task, or are required to cut some of the more exotic materials.
Wheel Bushings – six to e ight drops of oil each week.
Pivot Points, Shafts, and Bearing areas – six to eight drops of oil each week.
