Mains Connection; Dust Connection; Starting Operation; Machine Operation - Jet JWBS-14Q Operating Instructions Manual

5.2 Mains connection

Mains connection and any extension cords and plugs used
must comply with the information on the machine licence
plate.
The mains connection must have a 10A surge-proof fuse.
Only use extension cords marked H07RN-F, with wires
1,5mm 2 or more.
Power cords and plugs must be free from defects.
Connections and repairs to the electrical equipment may only
be carried out by qualified electricians.
ATTENTION:
-Check first if the saw blade is tensioned and runs freely and if
all safety devices are fitted before starting the machine.
Mains connection and any extension cords used must comply
with applicable regulations.
The mains voltage must comply with the information on the
machine licence plate.
The mains connection must have a 16 A surge-proof fuse.
Only use power cords marked H07RN-F
Connections and repairs to the electrical equipment may only
be carried out by qualified electricians.

5.3 Dust connection

Before initial operation, the machine must be connected to a
dust extractor. The suction should switch on automatically
when the bandsaw is switched on.
The flow rate on the suction port must be 20m/sec.
Flexible hoses must be of non-flammable quality, and must be
connected to the machine ground system.

5.4 Starting operation

You can start the machine with the green on button. The red
button on the main switch stops the machine.

6. Machine operation

Correct working position:
In front of the machine standing in the direction of cutting.
Workpiece handling:
Hands placed flat on the workpiece outside the cutting area.
Feed the workpiece towards the saw blade in the direction of
the saw line, and cut as required by turning to follow the line
drawn. Push the workpiece steadily forward; complete the cut
as a single movement. Do not draw the workpiece back, as
this could cause the sawblade to run off its wheels.
Support long and wide workpieces with helping roller stands.
Operating hints:
Work only with a sharp and flawless sawblade.
Near the cutting area use a push stick to feed.
Bring the upper blade guide to a distance of approx 0,5 cm to
the workpiece.
Use a feeding template to safely guide small and narrow
workpieces.
Use a suitable wedge to prevent round timber from turning
under the pressure of the cut
Blade Drift:
Blade drift is a frequent problem on rip cuts and during
resawing.
Blade drift may occur when the fence is being used, the blade
begins to wander off the cutting line (Fig 6).
Blade drift can be caused by a number of factors.
- The saw blade follows the grain
- The saw blade is dull.
- Blade guides not adjusted correctly.
- Blade tension unsufficient.
- Blade-teeth have asymmetric"set"
Resaw guide:
The resaw guide allows you to compensate blade drift.
The feed direction can be lined up to follow the cut.
For resawing attach the post (A, Fig 7) to the fence with the
lock knob (B). Position the post so that it is centered with the
blade teeth.
Auxiliary fence for rip fence:
For your own safety always set the upper saw guide as close
to the workpiece as possible.
