Slide miter gauge into table slot. 2. Use a square to verify that miter gauge face is square to blade. 3. If miter gauge is not square to blade, loosen lock knob (H1, Figure 5-9) and adjust to proper setting. Tighten lock knob. 4. If pointer is not at 90 degrees, loosen screw (H2) and shift pointer to 90 degrees. 5. Tighten screw. 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. Before connecting to power source, be sure the switch is in off position. 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. Failure to comply may cause serious or fatal injury. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately. Figure 5-9 6.0 Electrical connections Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes.

Electrical connections
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.
6.1
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 tool 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.
Before connecting to power source, be sure the
switch is in
off
position.
Check
with
a
qualified
electrician or service pe

115 Volt Operation
The JWBS-15 and JWBS-18 Band Saw are for use
on a nominal 115-V circuit, and have a grounded
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in
Figure 6-1. A temporary adaptor that looks like the
adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adaptor should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid
ear, lug, or the like extending from the adaptor must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
