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 controlknob (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 setrod (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.

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

Guide blocks provide additional blade stability.
Guide bearings and guide block s are initially adjusted
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

5. Slide the new blade into the blade guides
, H2), then loop the bla de (E) around the
(H
1
drive wheel (F) and idler w heel (G) such that
the teeth face towards the rear of the saw
and the smooth side faces towards the front.
6. Push the blade so it seats against the
shoulders of the wheels (F, G).
Adjusting the proper Blade Tension
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 Bearingareas – six
to eight drops of oil each week.
