Jet HBS-814GH, Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

Shut-Off Switch 

Remove the screw and hex nuts which held the 
bow to the base during shipment. These should 
be retained in case of future transportation of 
the Band Saw.  

The screw below the limit switch, shown in 
Figure 4, has been pre-set at the factory so that 
the switch will contact the screw and stop the 
blade after each cutting operation. 

Coolant Hose 

Before operating, the coolant drain hose (Figure 
5) must be connected to the coolant pan and the 
other end of the hose placed into the filter cup in 
the tank as shown. 

The hose from the coolant pump is attached to a  
valve which should be inserted into the hole on 
the guide assembly (see Figure 17).  

Grounding Instructions 

  Electrical connections must 

be made by a qualified electrician in 
compliance with all relevant codes. This 
machine must be properly grounded to help 
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal 
injury. 

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 band saw is pre-wired for 115 volt and is 
equipped with an electric cord having an 
equipment-grounding conductor and a 
grounding plug similar to that shown in Figure 6. 
The plug must be inserted 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 machine is properly grounded.
