Assembly
Read and understand all
assembly instr uctions before attempting assembly!
Failure to comply m ay cause serious injury!
Unpacking and Clea n up
1. Finish rem oving all cont ents from the shippi ng
carton. Do not discard the carton or packing
material unti l the band saw is assembled and
is running sati sfac torily.
2. Inspect the contents for shipping damage.
Report damage, if any, to your distributor.
3. Compare the contents of the shipping carton
with the contents list in this manual. Report
shortages, if any, to your distributor.
Stand
Attach stand supports to bac k of cabinet BEFORE
placing saw body on top of c abinet.
1. Using four M 6x 16 c ar r iage bolts (C, Fig. 1) and
four M6 nuts (B, Fig. 1) attach the stand
supports (A, Fig. 1) through the saw cabinet.
The bolt must be attached from the inside
bottom of t he saw cabinet (fi g 1). To do t his it
is easiest if you tilt the saw cabinet on it s front
and then install the hardware.
2. Place cabi net stand upright on a level surface.
If the surf ace is uneven then you should l evel
the stand supports by l oosening the nut (B, Fi g
1) and moving the support up or down to
prevent the stand from rocking, then tighten
the nuts.
Saw body is heav y! Use caution
when lifting and stabilize until fi rmly attached t o the
stand! Failur e to com ply may c ause serious i njury!
3. With the aid of a second person, lift the saw
body out of the shipping container and place
onto stand top. Be sure f ront of sa w (wit h JET
logo) faces stand front (Door Side).
4. Li ne up holes i n saw body with holes in t he top
of the stand. Fasten saw body to the stand
with four M8 x 40 hex cap screws, eight M8
washers, four M8 lock washers, and four M8
hex nuts.
Figure 1
Mounting the Trunnion Bracket to
8
the Band Saw
1. Attach trunnion support to saw body with two
M8 x 40 hex cap screws and two M8 lock
washers. See Figure 2.
2. Thread nut on to table stop bolt (Fig. 2) and
attach to trunnion support bracket as shown.
Once table i s mounted to the t runnion brack et ( see
section below) and the blade is mounted in the
saw (see section “Changing Blades”) you may
choose to f ine tune the blade paral lel to the m iter
slot. Using a square positioned i n the miter slot,
loosen screws shown in F igure 2 and lightly tap the
table into posi tion so the blade is paral lel with the
miter slot. Then gently tighten down the screws.
This adjustment will ensure square cuts when
using a miter gauge. This adjustment will NOT
correct drift of a blade when ripping with a rip
fence.
Figure 2
Mounting the Table to the Bandsaw
1. To mount the table, remove pin and insert from
the table (Fig. 3).
2. Rotate the table so that the saw blade will slide
through the slot in the table. Then orient the
table so the screws will slide into the holes on
the trunnion support bracket. Attach lock knobs
to these screws (Fig. 3)
3. Replace pin and insert .
