Assembly of Band Saw
Tools required for assembly:
– cross point (Phillips) screwdriver
– 3mm and 4mm hex wrenches (provided)
– 1/2" and 9/16" wrenches
Remove any plastic or holding straps from
around the band saw. Areas of the machine
have been given a protective coating at the
factory. This should be removed using a soft
cloth moistened with kerosene or a cleaner-
degreaser. Do not use gasoline, paint thinner, or
lacquer thinner as these will damage painted
surfaces. Do not use an abrasive pad.
Mounting Band Saw to Stand
Referring to Figure 2:
1. Place the chip pan (D) on the stand (E). The
side with the mounting holes further from
the edge (F) must be towards the left.
2. Using an assistant, place the band saw (C)
onto the stand on top of the chip pan (D).
3. Align the holes at the four corners of the
saw and chip pan with the holes in the
stand. Make sure the front of the band saw
faces the same direction as the JET logo on
the stand (see photo on cover of this
manual).
4. Install a 3/4"x1-1/4" hex cap screw (A) with
10 x 23 x t2 flat washer (B) in each of the
four holes. Tighten the hex cap screws with
a 1/2" wrench.
Remove the bracket and two screws (not
shown) which secured the bow during shipment.
Retain these items in case they are needed for
future transporting of the band saw.
When moving the band saw
the cutting head, or "bow", should be in the
down position.
Pulley Cover and Belt Installation
1. The knob (A, Figure 3) should be loosened
so that the motor is allowed to drop freely.
2. Slide the pulley cover down over the pulley
shafts as shown in Figure 3. (Slide it onto
the gearbox pulley shaft first, then the motor
pulley shaft.)
3. Secure the pulley cover with two 1/4-20 x
1/2" hex cap screws and flat washers (B,
Figure 3) using a 10mm wrench. Use the
slots to adjust the guard so that it will not
interfere with the pulleys.
