Electrical Connections

WARNING!

All electrical￿connections must be done by a

qualified electrician!

Failure to comply may result in loss of

property and/or serious injury!

JWBS-16 is rated at 1-1/2 HP, 1Ph, 115V/230V, prewired 115V.

The bandsaw comes with a 115V plug (A, Fig. 22). If you switch the motor to 230V a plug needs to be purchased for the bandsaw 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 30.

Review “Grounding Instructions” on page 4, “115 Volt Operation” also on page 4, and 230 Volt Operation on page 5.

Maintenance

Keep blade guides clean and free of build up.

Do not let saw dust build up in the upper and lower wheel housings. Vacuum out frequently.

Connect the bandsaw to a JET dust collection system.

Clean and grease the raising/lowering rack for the upper blade guides if it becomes difficult to raise, or lower.

Clean, and oil the tensioning mechanism if it becomes difficult to adjust.

Vacuum out the motor fan cover.
