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.

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.

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.
