INSTALLATION

WARNING

• Do not connect the tablesaw to the power source until all assembly has been completed!
• Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

Installation and Leveling
Final location for the saw must be level, dry, well-lighted, and have enough room to allow movement around the saw with long pieces of wood stock. Level the saw front to back and side to side using a carpenter’s level placed on the table. Use shims under the corners, if necessary, but make sure the saw is stable before being placed into service.

Motor Cover Assembly

1. Remove shipping bracket (A, Fig. 1) holding motor to table.
2. After the shipping bracket has been removed install the bolt back into the motor support bracket (B, Fig. 1). The other bolt is used to hold the extension wing in place.
3. Remove remaining two hex cap bolts, lock washers, and flat washers in the table edge.
4. Install motor cover by aligning pins on cover with brackets on pedestal.
5. Fasten cover by pulling out latch (A, Fig. 2), closing the door, and releasing the latch.

Extension Wing Assembly

1. Remove shipping bracket (A, Fig. 3) holding switch assembly to table. Do not discard the hardware.
2. Attach extension wings to table with six hex cap bolts previously removed.
3. Slide each extension wing toward the front of the saw until the wing is flush with the table If the wing is not flush with the table edge, there is a possibility of distorting the front rail when tightened to the extension wing. This may cause the fence to bind.
4. Using a straight edge, align the extension wings to the saw table and tighten the hex cap bolts.

Attaching the Switch Bracket Assembly and Switch Brace to the Saw

1. Place switch bracket assembly behind both the front fence rail and the lip of the left extension wing. (Do not place between the front fence rail and the extension wing – this will cause the front rail to distort and the fence to bind).
2. Line up the hole in the switch bracket assembly with the hole in the rail and the extension wing
3. Attach the switch bracket assembly to the rail with one 5/16* x 1-1/4″ flat head screw, one 5/16″ flat washer, and one 5/16″ hex nut found in the fence kit.
4. Loosen (do not remove) hex socket cap screw (A, Fig. 3-1). Do not remove the table – this is for illustration purposes only.
5. Slide the open tab of the switch brace (D, Fig. 3- 1) onto the hex socket cap screw and washer and hand tighten.
6. Remove the nut (B, Fig. 3-1) and star washer (C, Fig. 3-1) from the screw at the bottom of the switch plate.
7. Fasten the switch brace to the switch bracket assembly with the star washer and nut. Remove the switch box cover and hold the screw from the other side, if necessary.
8. Carefully replace the switch box cover, if necessary. Make sure all wires are inside the box. Do not force the box closed.

6. Hold rear tab (A, Fig. 6) of blade guard assembly to the upper blade guard bracket (B, Fig. 6) with two hex cap bolts (C, Fig. 6), and a plate. Finger tighten only at this time.
7. Blade will need to be installed, if not installed already, before final adjustment can be made.

Installing Blade
WARNING When installing or changing saw blade, always disconnect saw from the power source! Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

1. Raise the blade arbor fully and lock the saw at zero by tightening the lock knob in the middle of the handwheel.

2. Remove the arbor nut and flange.
   Note: Nut has left hand thread; turn clockwise to remove.

3. Place the blade on the arbor shaft making sure the teeth point down at the front of the saw. Replace the flange and the arbor nut.

4. Place a wood scrap in the blade’s teeth at the rear of the machine. Hold the block of wood in such a way that if it slips or the blade turns, your hand will not contact the blade.

5. Using the wrench provided, securely tighten the arbor nut. Remove the wrench.

Aligning Blade Guard and Splitter

1. Raise blade guard away from table and hold anti-kickback pawls away from table surface with the cut-out in the guard arm. (Fig. 7)

2. Using an accurate straight edge (A, Fig. 7), align the splitter with the saw blade.
   Note: Be sure that straight edge rests against body of saw blade and not saw teeth.

3. When saw blade is aligned with the splitter, carefully tighten the hex cap bolt on the bracket assembly inside the saw.

4. Make sure the splitter is level with the table and approximately 1/8″ above the table before tightening the hardware on the rear of the blade guard assembly Space between the splitter and the table keeps the splitter from binding on the table when the blade is tilted to 45°

5. Check alignment again after tightening hardware. Realign if necessary.

Hand Wheel Assembly

1. Attach handle (A, Fig. 8) to hand wheel (B, Fig 8).
2. Tighten lock nut to prevent the handle from coming out.
3. Slide handwheel assembly onto the shaft.
4. Tighten the set screw on the handwheel hub securely.
5. Install center lock knob (C, Fig. 8) by inserting into the center hole in the shaft and threading in a clockwise direction.

Table Insert Adjustment

1. Lower blade completely.
2. Place the open end of the insert under the splitter and lower the insert into the opening. If you have difficulty placing the insert, the blade guard assembly will have to be raised.
3. Adjust the table insert flush with the table by turning four leveling screws and using a straight edge.

Electrical Connections
WARNING! All electrical connections must be completed by a qualified electrician!
Failure to comply may result in serious injury!
The JTAS-10 table saw is rated at 3 HP, 1Ph, 230V, 5 HP, 1 Ph, 230V, or 5 HP, 3Ph, 230/460V. The JTAS-12 is rated at 5HP, 1Ph, 230V or 5 HP, 3Ph, 230/460V. Both saws come pre-wired from the factory at 230V.

To switch the JTAS-10/12 from 230V to 460V:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source. (unplug)
2. Open the saw cabinet door.
3. Remove the cover from the motor junction box.
4. Change wires following the diagram on the inside of the cover.
5. Replace the cover and close the cabinet door.
6. Replace the magnetic on-off switch with part #JTAS10-23B. This switch is available through your authorized JET distributor or by calling JET at 1-800-274-6844.

Confirm power at the site is the same as the saw before making any electrical connections. Review the electrical schematics on page 22-23. The on and 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 the saw to cool down and reset by pushing the off button.

Miter Gauge Operation

1. Operate miter gauge by loosening lock knob (A, Fig. 9) and turning miter body (B, Fig. 9) to desired angle. To move gauge beyond index stops of 45° and 90°, flip down stoplink (C, Fig. 9).
2. Adjust index stops by turning one of three adjustment screws (D, Fig. 9).
   Note: Always make test cuts. Do not rely solely on the miter gauge indicator marks.

Blade Raising and Tilting Mechanism

1. To raise or lower the saw blade, loosen the lock knob in the middle of the handwheel and turn the handwheel on the saw front until desired height is reached. Tighten lock knob. The blade should be adjusted 1/8″ to 1/4″ above the top surface of the material being cut.
2. To tilt the saw blade, loosen lock knob, turn handwheel on the left of the saw cabinet until desired angle is obtained, then tighten lock knob.

Blade Alignment
Blade alignment with the table is adjusted at the factory. After a period of use, or, after moving the saw to another location, the blade may no longer be aligned with the table. To check and align the blade

1. Disconnect the saw from the power source.
2. Raise the blade guard up and out of the way of the blade.
3. Unlock fence and move away from the blade so as to expose the right T-slot.
4. Measure the distance from the back edge of the blade to the right T-slot edge.
5. Rotate blade toward the front
6. Measure the distance from the front edge of the blade at the same location on the blade to the right T-slot edge. The two measurements should be the same.
7. If they are not the same, loosen four hex socket cap screws (A, Fig. 10) that hold the table to the base. (Two are shown in A, Fig. 10)
8. Move the table until the measurements from the front edge of the blade to the miter slot and the back edge of the blade to the miter slot are the same. It is important to use the same location on the blade.
9. Tighten the four hex socket cap screws firmly.

Adjusting 45° and 90° Positive Stops

1. Disconnect saw from power source.
2. Raise the saw blade to its maximum height using the handwheel.
3. Set the blade at 90 degrees to the table by turning the blade tilting the handwheel clockwise as far as it will go.
4. Place a square on the table and check to see that the blade is at a 90° angle to the table. (Fig. 11) Make sure square is not touching a blade tooth.
5. If blade is not at 90 degrees, open the motor cover door, loosen lock nut (A, Fig. 12) and turn adjusting stop screw (B, Fig. 12) on the front trunnion (C, Fig. 12) in or out. The adjusting stop screw (B, Fig. 12) should stop against the front trunnion bracket when the blade is 90° to the table.
6. Tighten the lock nut (A, Fig. 12).
7. Place a square on the table after turning the blade to the 45° stop (Fig. 13). If the 45° positive stop is not set properly, follow the same procedure using lock nut (D, Fig. 12) and screw (E, Fig. 12).
8. Check the accuracy of the pointer on the angle scale and adjust, if necessary.

Assembly and adjustment of the saw are now complete. Make sure all fasteners are tight. The saw may now be placed into operation.
