Using the Jet JWBS-15 bandsaw is straightforward. First, make sure to plug it into a proper electrical outlet with the correct voltage (115/230V). Adjust the blade tension according to the blade width and the type of wood you're cutting. You can easily check the tension scale through the upper door window. Use the single knob to adjust the blade tracking for accurate cuts. For different projects, adjust the fence using the micro-adjust dial for precise placement. When changing the blade, open the stress-free magnetic door on the front of the guide post. Remember to keep the table clean and free of debris to ensure smooth operation. Regularly lubricate the moving parts, such as the guides and the blade tension mechanism. Check the blade for wear and tear and replace it when necessary. Also, always wear appropriate safety gear, like safety glasses and ear protection, when using the bandsaw.
