8.0 Electrical connections

Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to prevent
serious or fatal injury.
The JTAS-12-DX is rated for single phase, 230 volt
power only. A plug is not provided.
Confirm power at the site matches that of the saw
before making any electrical connections. Review
the electrical diagram in Section 13.0.
You may either install a plug or "hard-wire" the
saw directly to a control panel. If saw is to be hard-
wired to a panel, make sure a disconnect is
available for the operator. During hard-wiring,
make sure the fuses have been removed or the
breakers have been tripped in the circuit to which
the machine will be connected. Place a warning
placard on fuse holder or circuit breaker to prevent
it being turned on while saw is being wired.
It is recommended that the JTAS-12-DX Table Saw
be connected to a dedicated 30 amp circuit with
circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Local codes
take precedence over recommendations.
The on/off switch is thermally protected. If the saw
motor is overloaded, or a momentary interruption of
electrical current is sensed, the saw will shut off.
Allow a few minutes for saw to cool down, then
reset by pushing the off button.

8.1 Extension cords

The use of extension cords is discouraged. Try to
position machines within reach of power source. If
an extension cord becomes necessary, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Table 1 shows correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

9.0 Adjustments

9.1 Blade raising and tilting

1. To raise or lower saw blade, loosen lock knob
(A, Figure 17) and turn handwheel (B) on the
saw front until desired height is reached.
Tighten lock knob. Blade should be adjusted
no more than 1/8" to 1/4" above top surface of
material being cut.
2. To tilt blade, loosen lock knob (C, Figure 17),
turn handwheel on right of saw cabinet (D)
until desired angle is obtained, then tighten
lock knob.
must be made with machine disconnected from
power source. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.

9.2 Blade alignment

• Tool: 8mm hex key, combination square, felt-
tip marker
Blade alignment is set by the manufacturer, but
should be verified by the operator. Also after a
period of use, or after relocating saw, the blade
may become misaligned with table. To check and
align blade:
1. Disconnect saw from power source.
2. Remove blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
3. Use the right T-slot as a shoulder for a
combination square. See Figure 18.
4. Choose a tooth on the far edge of blade and
directly over the insert. Mark the tooth.
5. Measure the distance from side of blade to
right T-slot edge using a combination square.
Note: The square should contact flat surface of
blade between teeth, not a raised tooth edge.
6. Rotate blade toward front so that marked tooth
is just above insert. Measure distance from
marked point of blade to right T-slot edge. The
two measurements should be equal.
