Grounding Instructions

This machine must be

grounded while in use to protect the operator

from electric shock.

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 machine 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.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit

the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.

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 grounded. Use only

three wire extension cords that have three-prong

grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that

accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord

immediately.

Model JWBS-16B

Model JWBS-16B Band Saw has a 1-3/4 HP 1

phase motor and is wired from the factory for

115 volt operation, but can be rewired for 220

volts.

115 Volt Operation

The JWBS-16B Band Saw comes equipped with

a plug that looks like A, Fig. 1. and is used in an

outlet that looks like B, Fig. 1. A temporary

adapter with a grounding ear secured with a

screw (C, Fig. 1) may be used to connect this

plug to a two-pole receptacle if a properly

grounded outlet is not available. The temporary

adapter should only be used until a properly

grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified

electrician. This adapter is not applicable in

Canada. The green colored grounding ear, lug,

or tab, extending from the adapter, must be

connected to a permanent ground such as a

properly grounded outlet box, as shown in

C, Fig. 1.

230 Volt Operation

To convert the JWBS-16B from 120V to 230V,

single phase operation, the following is strongly

recommended:

Contact your local Authorized JET Service

Center or qualified electrician for proper

procedures to install the plug. The band saw

must comply with all local and national codes

after the 230V plug is installed.

The 115V attachment plug supplied with the

band saw (C, Fig. 2) must be replaced with a

UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V operation

(D, Fig. 2).

The band saw with a 230V plug should only be

connected to an outlet having the same

configuration (D, Fig. 2). No adapter is available

or should be used with the 230V plug.

Important: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make

certain the receptacle in question is properly

grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered

electrician check the receptacle.
