Using the Jet JT9 - 415559 bandsaw is easy. First, place it on a flat and stable surface. You can use the four 8 - inch rubber wheels to move it around easily. Plug it into a 115V power source. To change the speed, just turn the knob - no need to mess with belts. Adjust the vise to the desired angle up to 45 degrees without using any tools. For cutting, use the cast - mounted hydraulic downfeed to make the process smooth. The blade is fully guarded, so you don't have to worry about getting hurt. When you're done cutting, the auto shut - off feature will turn off the machine for you. As for maintenance, regularly check the blade tension using the blade tensioning guides. Keep the storage cabinet and chip tray clean. Also, since it's a metalworking tool, it's a good idea to lubricate the moving parts like the gear drive and blade wheels every once in a while. And always make sure the switches are in good condition as they are UL listed for reliable operation. Follow these steps, and your bandsaw will serve you well for a long time.
