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!
The JWBS-16B is rated at 1-1/2 HP, 1Ph,
115V/230V, prewired 115V.
The band saw comes with a 115V plug (A, Fig. 22).
If you switch the motor 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 30.
It is recommended that the band saw, when
operated on 115V, be connected to a dedicated,
minimum 30 amp circuit with a 30 amp circuit
breaker or time delay fuse. It is recommended that
the band saw, when operated on 230V, be
connected to a dedicated, minimum 15 amp circuit
with a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
NOTE: Local codes take precedence over
recommendations.
Review the Grounding Instructions, 115 Volt
Operation, and 230 Volt Operation sections on
page 7.
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 band saw 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.
