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

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

Grounding Instructions
This Band Saw must be grounded
while in use to protect the operator from electric
shock.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an elec tric cor d having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug that look s simil ar to the plug in Figure 20. The
plug must be insert ed into a matching outlet that is
properly i nstalled and groun ded in accordance wit h
all local codes and ordinanc es.
21, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should only be used until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified el ectr ici an. Thi s adapter i s not appli c able i n
Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab,
extending fr om the adapter , must be connect ed to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box, as shown in Fi gur e 21.
Do not modify the plug provi ded. If it will not fit t he
outlet, hav e the proper out let i nstall ed by a qualif i ed
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can re sult i n a risk of elec tric shock. T he
conductor, with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of t he elec tric cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor
to a live terminal.
Figure 20
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if i n doubt as to whether
the tool is properly gr ounded.
Figure 21
230 Volt Conversion
If 230V, single-phase operation is desired, the
following inst r uc tions must be followed:
Disconnect machine from power source.
This band saw is supplied wit h four motor leads that
are connected for 115V operation, as shown in
Figure 22. Reconnect these four motor leads for
230V operation, as shown in Figure 22.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
115 V olt Operation
As received fr om the factory, your bandsaw is ready
to run at 115-volt operation. This bandsaw, when
wired for 115 volts, i s intended for use on a circuit
that has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one
illustrated in Figure 20. A temporary adapt er, like the
adapter in Figure 21, may be used to connect this
plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure
10
Figure 22
Page 11
The 115V attachment plug supplied with the band
e
saw must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug
suitable f or 230V operation, as shown in Fi gure 23.
Contact your l ocal authorized JET servic e center or
qualified electrician for proper procedures to install
the plug. The band saw must comply with all local
and national codes after the 230-volt plug is
installed.
The band saw with a 230-volt plug should only be
connected to an outlet having the same
configurati on (Figure 23). No adapt er is av ailable or
should be used with the 230-volt plug.
Figure 23
Important: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make
certain the receptacle in question is properly
grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered
electrici an c hec k the rec eptacle.
Extens ion Cords
Use only three wire ext ension cords that have threeprong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug.
Make sure the cor d is in goo d condition, and heavy
enough to carry t he current your band saw will draw.
An undersized c ord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting i n loss of power and ov erheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and the ampere rating on your machine’s
nameplate. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge num ber , the heavier the cord.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.

1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Make sure t he blade is ten sioned with the rel ease
lever in the down position as seen in Fig. 7.
3. Turn blade tension knob (Fig. 6) clockwise to
tension blade. The blade width gauge (D, Fig. 8)
indicates the approx imate tension according to the
width of the blade. Initiall y, set the blade tension t o
correspond to blade widt h*.
4. As you become f amiliar with the saw, you m ay find
it necessary to change t he blade tension from the
initial sett i ng. Changes i n blade widt h and the t ype
of material being cut will have an effect on blade
tension.
5. Keep in mind that too little or too much blade
tension can cause blade break age.
6. If the bl ade will not tension correctly once the blade
tensioner and tension knob are properly set then
you may need to adjust the blade tensioning
device.
