the motor.

The weight of the motor should put enough tension on the belt. You just want to push down lightly to take up any slack.

3. Tighten the two hex cap screws (A , B).

Note: A new belt may stretch slightly during the “breaking in” process, and the tension may occasionally need to be checked and adjusted.

Pulley Alignment

The pulley alignment is done in conjunction with the V-belt replacement.

If you are just beginning the alignment, start with the Replacing the V-Beltsection (previous page.

If you were directed here, proceed as follows:

1.Uses a straight edge placed against the wheel pulley and motor pulley and refer to Figure 28 to determine if alignment is necessary.

If alignment is necessary:

2.With a 4mm hex wrench, loosen two set screws on the motor (lower) pulley.

3.Adjust the motor pulley by sliding in or out.

4.Confirm the alignment of the V-belt by placing a straight edge against the faces of both pulleys, (Figure 28). If the straight edge lies flush against both pulleys, then the pulleys and belt are aligned.

5.Re-tighten the two set screws on the motor pulley.

6.Return to Step 8 of the Replacing V-Beltsection on page 20.

Electrical Connections

All electrical connections must be done by a qualified electrician. Failure to comply may result in loss of property and/or serious injury.

JWBS-18X is rated at 1.75 HP, 1Ph, 115/230V, prewired 115V.

The band saw comes with a 115V plug (A, Fig. 29). If you switch to 230V a plug needs to be purchased for the band saw that matches the 230V outlet you intend to use.

Confirm power at the site is the same as the saw before making any electrical connections. Review the wiring diagram on page 38.

Review Grounding Instructions on page 7.
