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 inte nded for use

by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If you are not fam iliar with 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 an y real or implied warr anty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from that use.

6. Always wear 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 band saw, remove tie,

rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine lon g hair. Non-sl ip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are recommended. Do not wear gloves.

8. Always use the blade guard on all ''through-

sawing'' operations. A thro ugh-sawing operation is one in which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece.

the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

10. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position

before connecting the machine to the power supply.

11. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

wrenches are rem oved from the mac hine before turning it on.

14. 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.

15. Mak e sure the band s aw is firm ly secured to the floor or bench before use.

16. Check damaged parts.

19. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.

20. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

21. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horseplay” are careless acts that can r esult in serio us injury.

22. Maintain a ba lanced stance at all times so th at you do not fall into the blade or other moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.

Assembly

Read and understand all assembly instructions before attempting assembly! Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

Unpacking and Cleanup

1. Finish removing all contents from the shipping

carton. Do not discard the carton or packing material until the ba nd saw is assembled and is running satisfactorily.

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 back of cabinet BEFORE placing saw body on top of cabinet.

1. Using four M 6x 16 c arr iage bolts ( C, F ig. 1) an d

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 the saw cabinet (fig 1). To do this it is easiest if you ti lt the saw cabinet o n its front and then install the hardware.

2. Place cabin et stand upr ight on a le ve l surf ace.

If the surface is une ven then you should le vel the stand supports b y loos ening t he nut ( B, F ig

1) and moving the support up or down to prevent the stand from rocking, then tighten the nuts.

Saw body is heavy! Use caution when lifting and stabilize until firmly attached to the stand! Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

3. With the aid of a second person, lift the saw

body out of the shipping container and place onto stand top. Be sur e front of saw (with J ET logo) faces stand front (Door Side).

4. Line up holes in saw body with holes in the 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 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 is mounted to the trunnion bracket (see section below) and the blade is mounted in the saw (see section “Changing Blades”) you may choose to fine tune the blade parallel to the miter slot. Using a square positioned in the miter slot, loosen screws shown in Figure 2 and lightly tap the table into position so the blade is parallel 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 m ount the t able, r emove pin and insert from

the table (Fig. 3).

2. Rotate the tab le so that the saw blade wil l sli de

through the slot in the table. Then orient the table so the screws will sl ide into the holes on the trunnion support bracket. Attach lock knobs to these screws (Fig. 3)

3. Replace pin and insert.
