c.
d.
e.
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.
2.
Replace the warning labels if they become
obscured or removed.
3.
Do not use this band saw for other than its
intended use. If used for other purposes, JET
disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds
itself harmless from any injury that may result
from that use.
4.
Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety
glasses or face shield while using this band
saw. (Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.)
5.
Before operating this machine, remove tie,
rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll
sleeves up past the elbows. Do not wear loose
clothing. Confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or
anti-skid floor strips are recommended. Do not
wear gloves.
6.
Wear hearing protection (plugs or muffs) during
extended periods of operation.

activities contain chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•
8.
Do not operate this machine while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
9.
Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make
sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
10. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
Wear eye protection.
Do not remove jammed cut off pieces until
blade has stopped.
Maintain proper adjustment of blade
tension, blade guides, and thrust bearing.
Adjust upper guide to just clear workpiece.
Secure workpiece firmly against table.
1.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a wellventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as face or dust masks that are
specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Read and understand the entire instruction
manual before operating machine.
a.
b.
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and
other masonry products.
11. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance
with the machine unplugged from the power
source.
12. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the machine
before turning it on.
13. 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 after
completion of maintenance.
14. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
machine, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.
15. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
16. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.
17. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area. Keep children away.
18. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
19. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horseplay” are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.
Lead from lead based paint.

28. Make sure workpiece is securely clamped in
vise. Never use your hand to hold the
workpiece.
20. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that
you do not fall into the blade or other moving
parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force
to perform any machine operation.
29. Never reach around or over a moving saw
blade.
21. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed
rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed. The right tool
will do the job better and more safely.
22. Use recommended accessories;
accessories may be hazardous.
30. Feed work into a blade or cutter only against the
direction of rotation of the blade or cutter.
31. Set blade guides for minimal exposure of blade
before operating.
improper
32. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use
power tools in damp or wet location, or expose
them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
23. Maintain tools with care. Keep saw blades
sharp and clean for the best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.
33. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 1 (sect. 6.3) shows correct
size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.
24. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a
brush or compressed air to remove chips or
debris — do not use your hands.
25. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury
could occur if the machine tips over, or if the
cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
26. Never leave the machine running unattended.
Turn the power off and do not leave the
machine until it comes to a complete stop.
27. Remove loose items and unnecessary work
pieces from the area before starting the
machine.

6.0 Electrical connections
The HVBS-56M Band Saw is rated at 115/230V
power, and is pre-wired for 115 volt. The band saw
comes with a plug designed for use on a circuit with
a grounded outlet that looks like the one pictured in
A, Figure 8.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in off position.
It is recommended that the band saw be connected
to a dedicated 15 amp circuit with circuit breaker or
fuse. If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use
time delay fuse marked “D”. Local codes take
precedence over recommendations.
6.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Figure 6
This machine must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
5.7 Vertical cutting plate
NOTE: The following steps apply only when using
band saw in vertical mode.
1.
Disconnect band saw from power source.
2.
Raise bow to vertical position and use support
(R, Figure 7) to secure in position. (If support
will not slide into recess, vertical stop may need
adjustment. See sect. 7.12)
3.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Loosen bolt (S, Figure 7) just enough to slide
stand (E) behind bolt. Tighten bolt just enough
to hold stand in position.
4.
Remove two flat head screws (T) and bearing
guard (U). [Note: Bearing guard (U) must be
reinstalled when returning to horizontal mode.]
5.
Guide blade through slot in vertical cutting plate
(D, Figure 7) and fasten cutting plate with the
two screws.
6.
Fasten stand (E) to underside of table using
screw and hex nut (HP6/7). Bracket may need
to be bent slightly to accommodate plate.
7.
Tighten bolt (S).
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
8
grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious
or fatal injury.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.
Repair or replace
immediately.
damaged
or
worn
cord
When operated at 115-volt, this tool is intended for
use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the
one illustrated in A, Figure 8. An adapter, shown in
B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle as shown in B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician. This adapter is not permitted in Canada.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like,
extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
Figure 9
When operated at 230-volt, this tool is intended for
use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the
one illustrated in D, Figure 8. The tool has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
D. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter is available or should be used with this tool.
If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different
type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be
made by qualified service personnel; and after
reconnection, the tool should comply with all local
codes and ordinances.
Figure 10
Figure 11
6.3 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position machines near the power source. If an
extension cord is necessary, make sure it is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 1 shows correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Figure 8
6.2 Voltage conversion
Conversion from 115V to 230V must be done by
a qualified electrician.
The Band Saw is prewired for 115 volt. To change
incoming power leads for 230 volt operation, follow
wiring diagrams on inside cover of motor junction
plate (Figure 9). These diagrams are also shown in
Figures 10 and 11.
The plug on the end of the power cord must be
replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug rated for 230 volt
operation.

4.
Hold bottom nut (L2) to prevent it turning further,
and retighten top nut (L1).
5.
Repeat above steps for opposite blade guide
assembly.
7.8 Feed pressure adjustment
Turn handle (O, Figure 19) clockwise to decrease
feed pressure; counterclockwise to increase feed
pressure.
A good indication of proper feed pressure is the
color and shape of the cutting chips. If the chips are
thin or powdered, increase feed pressure. If the
chips are burned and heavy, decrease feed
pressure. If they are still burned and heavy, reduce
blade speed. Optimum feed pressure has been set
when the chips are curled, silvery, and warm.
7.7 Blade tracking
Blade tracking adjustment
requires running saw with back cover open. This
adjustment must be completed by qualified
persons only. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.
Blade tracking has been set by the manufacturer
and should not need immediate adjustment. If blade
tracking should ever require adjustment:
1.
Confirm that blade tension is set properly. To
adjust, see sect. 7.4, Blade tension.
2.
Set saw to lowest speed (sect. 7.2).
3.
Raise bow to vertical position and secure in
place with support (R, Figure 7).
4.
Confirm that blade tension is set properly. To
adjust, see sect. 7.4, Blade tension.
5.
Open blade cover.
6.
Run saw and observe blade. Blade should run
next to but not tightly against wheel flange.
7.
Loosen bolts (M, Figure 18) with 12mm wrench.
8.
Turn set screw (N) with 4mm hex key, while
observing blade tracking on wheel. Turn set
screw clockwise to track closer to wheel flange.
Turn set screw counterclockwise to track away
from wheel flange. NOTE: This adjustment is
sensitive; start with 1/4 turns on the set screw
and allow blade to respond to changes.
9.
Once tracking is set, tighten bolts (M).
Figure 19
7.9 Blade-to-table squareness
The blade must be perpendicular to table to ensure
a straight cut. This setting should be checked.
Special blade setting gauges can be purchased for
this type of inspection; however, it can also be done
using more common shop items, as follows.
1.
“Extend” the surface of blade by clamping a
straight, flat object to blade. (Figure 20 uses a
small, lightweight aluminum ruler.) Use a
lightweight clamp.
Figure 20
2.
Place a square on table and against ruler. The
square should lie flat against ruler without a
gap.
3.
If there is a gap, loosen bolt (H, Figure 17) on
each blade guide assembly and rotate blade
guide assembly until gap is eliminated between
square and ruler.
4.
Retighten bolts (H, Figure 17).
Figure 18
12
5.
After making this adjustment, be sure to recheck other blade adjustments as noted in this
manual.
7.10 Auto shut-off adjustment
The saw is properly adjusted when blade shuts off
just after cut completion. To set this:
•
If saw completes cut but blade continues
moving, adjust switch trip (P, Figure 21)
downward.
•
If blade stops before cut is complete, adjust
switch trip (P) upward.
•
If blade stops descending and continues
running without completing the cut, turn stop
bolt (Q) down.
Figure 22
8.0 Operation
8.1 Blade break-in
New blades are very sharp and, therefore, have a
tooth geometry which is easily damaged if a careful
break-in procedure is not followed. Consult the
blade manufacturer’s literature for break-in of
specific blades on specific materials. However, the
following procedure will be adequate for break-in of
JET-supplied blades on lower alloy ferrous
materials.
1.
Clamp a round section workpiece in the vise.
The workpiece should be 2 inches or larger in
diameter.
2.
Set the saw on low speed. Start the cut with a
very light feed rate.
3.
When the saw has completed 1/3 of the cut,
increase feed rate slightly and allow saw to
complete the cut.
Vise can be adjusted for square and miter cuts.
Loosen hex cap bolts and adjust vise for the cut.
4.
Slightly loosen screw on floating vise (14mm
wrench) to allow it to conform to tapered or irregularshaped pieces. Then tighten screw before
operating.
Keep the same hydraulic cylinder setting and
begin a second cut on the same or similar
workpiece.
5.
When blade has completed about 1/3 of cut,
increase feed rate. Watch chip formation until
cutting is at its most efficient rate and allow saw
to complete the cut (see sect. 8.3, Evaluating
cutting efficiency).
6.
The blade is now ready for regular service.
Figure 21
7.11 Vise adjustment
Use handwheel (R, Figure 21) to open and close
vise.
A scale on back side of bed aids in positioning vise
for 90° cuts or a particular miter. TIP: Always verify
vise position by using a square against blade and
vise.
8.2 General operating procedure
7.12 Vertical stop adjustment
1.
The stop screw (Figure 22) can be adjusted to
ensure bow is at 90-degrees when using vertical
cutting plate.
Raise bow and secure in position using support,
as shown in Figure 21.
Always secure bow in
raised position with support plate before
loading material. Never start a cut with blade
contacting workpiece.
2.
13
Position workpiece in vise and tighten vise.
Workpiece should be fitted directly between
jaws without adding other objects. When
workpiece is profiled section, flat piece or
special shape, refer to examples in Figure 23
for proper clamping positions. The top row
shows acceptable clamping positions, the
bottom row shows unacceptable positions.
may force chips into the guide bearings and other
critical areas of saw.
If the thickness of profile section is very thin, a
piece which duplicates the profile should be
fitted inside the workpiece itself, to prevent
workpiece being crushed between the jaws.
Periodically apply a light coat of oil on exposed
metal surfaces to inhibit rust.
Make frequent inspections of motor fan, and blow
out (with low pressure air hose) or vacuum any
accumulation of foreign material to maintain normal
motor ventilation.
Do not load/unload material
from vise while machine is running. Never hold
workpiece by hand when cutting; workpiece
must be firmly secured in vise. Do not reach into
cutting area during cutting operations.
Keep blade guides clean and free of metal particles.
Check guide bearings frequently to make sure that
they are properly adjusted and turning freely.
Periodically inspect belt for wear or fraying. Replace
if needed.
Inspect power cord; if worn, cut or damaged in any
way, have it replaced immediately.
9.1 Lubrication
Ball bearings on blade guide assemblies and blade
wheels are permanently lubricated and sealed, and
should require no further lubrication.
Figure 23: clamping positions
3.
Adjust blade guides to minimize exposed blade
area.
4.
Release support and turn on saw. Lower bow
until blade contacts material. Release bow to
allow cutting to proceed. Weight of bow in
conjunction with spring tension will force blade
through material until cut is finished.
5.
Lubricate the vise lead screw as needed with #2
tube grease.
Drain and refill gear box oil after first 90 days of
operation. Thereafter, change every six months.
Use MOBIL SHC 634 or equivalent.
To change gear box oil:
Switch trip tab must turn off saw at completion
of cut.
1.
Disconnect machine from power source.
2.
Place bow in horizontal position. Loosen or
remove screw and nut on motor tension plate
(see A, Figure 12). Remove drive belt and allow
motor to drop away, for access to gearbox.
3.
Remove four screws from gear box (Figure 24)
and remove cover plate and gasket.
4.
Hold a container under lower right corner of
gear box with one hand while slowly raising bow
with the other. Drain completely.
5.
Place arm in horizontal position. Wipe out
remaining oil with a rag.
6.
Fill gear box with approximately 1/2 pint of
MOBIL SHC 634.
7.
Replace gasket and cover. Fasten cover with
screws.
8.
Reinstall and tension drive belt, and secure nut
on tension plate (A, Figure 12).
8.3 Evaluating cutting efficiency
Is the blade cutting efficiently? The best way to
determine this is to observe the chips formed by the
cutting.
If chip formation is powdery, then the feed rate is
much too light, or the blade is dull.
If chips are curled, but colored — that is, either blue
or straw-colored from heat generated during the cut
— then the feed rate is too high.
If chips are slightly curled and are not colored by
heat, the blade is sufficiently sharp and is cutting at
its most efficient rate.
9.0 User-maintenance
Always disconnect power to
the machine before performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may result in serious personal
injury.
Wipe down saw with a soft rag after each use, and
clear metal particles with a small paint brush or parts
cleaning brush. Do not use compressed air, as it
