Machine Features
Figures 1 depicts the main features of the Model
J-9225 Bandsaw. The machine consists of a
machine base onto which is installed a saw
head.
Machine Base
The machine base consists of four panels that
require assembly.
Saw Head
The saw head (Figure 1) consists of a drive
motor, gearbox, blade wheels, blade guides and
supports, control panel, blade tension
mechanism, wire brush, and the saw blade.
The drive wheel is installed on the output shaft
of the gearbox. The driven wheel is located on
the left side of the machine and is mounted on a
shaft that is part of the blade tension mechan-
ism. The blade tension mechanism is used to
tighten the saw blade on the blade wheels.
Blade tension generally requires adjustment only
after the saw blade is changed, but the tension
should be monitored with the convenient blade
tension indicator.

Work Stop
A work stop is provided with the machine to
allow cutting multiple pieces of identical length
(refer to Figure 6). The stop consists of a set rod
onto which is installed a distance set bracket,
stop rod assembly and two lock handles. The
rod is installed in a bore in the front of the saw
bed. The distance set bracket is moved in or out
on the set rod to establish the length of the
workpiece and the stop rod can be adjusted to
accommodate workpieces of various widths.
Control Panel
The control panel is mounted on the top of the
saw head. Refer to the Controls and Indicators
section (page 9) for a description of the controls.
Switches and fuses required for operation and
protection of the drive motor are inside the box.
