3.0Safety warnings

1.Read and understand the entire owner’s manual before attempting assembly or operation.

2.Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of these warnings may cause serious injury.

3.Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.

4.This cold saw is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a cold saw, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.

5.Do not use this cold saw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, JET disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from that use.

6.Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this cold saw. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

7.Before operating this cold saw, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are recommended.

8.Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.

9.Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•Lead from lead based paint.

•Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

•Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

10.Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

11.Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.

12.Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

13.Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.

14.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

15.Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately after maintenance is complete.

16.Make sure the cold saw is firmly positioned on a secure foundation.

17.Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

18.Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

19.Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.

20.Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.

21.Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

22.Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse- play” are careless acts that can result in serious injury.

23.Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the blade or other moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.

24.Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and more safely.

CS-315, CS-275 specifications

Jet Tools has a long-standing reputation for delivering quality woodworking and metalworking machinery, and their CS-275 and CS-315 bandsaw models exemplify that commitment to excellence. Designed with both professional woodworkers and hobbyists in mind, these saws are engineered to provide precision, power, and ease of use.

The CS-275 features a robust design that includes a heavy-duty cast iron frame providing stability and reducing vibration during operation. This enhances the accuracy of cuts. With a 2.5 HP motor, the CS-275 delivers ample power for most woodworking tasks, enabling users to tackle various materials, from softwoods to hardwoods. Its easy-to-read scale and quick blade change system make blade adjustments seamless. The saw blade can accommodate a range of widths, allowing users to switch between intricate cuts and larger operations without hassle.

On the other hand, the CS-315 takes it a step further with a 3 HP motor, catering to those who need more power for demanding projects. This model boasts an extended cutting capacity, which is perfect for larger workpieces. The dual table support system ensures maximum stability, while the integrated dust collection port helps maintain a clean work environment by minimizing debris and sawdust.

Both models incorporate Jet's advanced technology that prioritizes user safety and comfort. Features such as an oversized handwheel and a precision tensioning system allow for easy adjustments of the blade, ensuring optimal performance. The CS-275 and CS-315 are equipped with high-quality bearings and a precision ground cast iron table that provides a smooth surface for cutting, enhancing performance and longevity.

Additionally, these bandsaws share a common feature: a large viewing window that allows users to monitor their cutting line easily. This ensures that every cut is precise and increases overall productivity. The saws also come with a solid standard warranty, underscoring Jet Tools' confidence in their durability and quality.

In summary, whether you choose the CS-275 or the more powerful CS-315, Jet Tools offers robust construction, innovative technologies, and user-centered design. Both models are excellent additions to any workshop, providing reliability and performance that professionals and enthusiasts alike will appreciate.
