Installing Blade

Important: This machine requires a 12-inch diameter blade.

Unplug the miter saw before changing and/or installing the blade.

Referring to Figure 7:

1.Install a 12 in. blade with a 5/8 in. arbor (or a 1 in. arbor with a 5/8 in. reducer) making sure the rotation arrow on the blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow on the upper guard, and the blade teeth are pointing downward.

2.Place the arbor collar (G) against the blade and on the arbor. Thread the arbor bolt (H) on the arbor in a counterclockwise direction.

Important: Make sure that the flat edge inside the blade collar opening is aligned with the flat edge on the arbor shaft. Also, the flat -side of the arbor collar (G) must be placed against the blade (J).

3.Place the blade wrench on the arbor bolt (H).

4.Press the arbor lock (E), holding it in firmly while turning the blade counterclockwise (opposite the cutting direction of the blade). When it engages, continue to press the arbor lock (E) in, while tightening the arbor bolt (H) securely.

5.Rotate the cover plate (B) back to its original position until the slot in the cover plate engages with the cover plate screw (C). While holding the lower blade guard (A) up as shown, tighten the screw (C) with a cross-point screwdriver.

6.Lower the retractable blade guard (A) and verify that the operation of the guard does not bind or stick.

7.Turn the blade to disengage the arbor lock (E); then verify that the blade will spin freely.

Never use the saw without the

 

cover plate securely in place. Failure to comply

 

may cause serious injury!

 

The cover plate keeps the arbor bolt from falling out

 

if it accidentally loosens, and helps prevent the

 

spinning blade from coming off the saw.

Figure 7

 

Verify that the collars are clean

 

and properly installed. Lower the blade into the

 

table and verify that it does not come in contact

 

with the metal base or the turn table. Failure to

 

comply may cause serious injury!

The Jet Tools JMS-12SCMS is a standout in the world of sliding compound miter saws, designed specifically for professionals and serious hobbyists alike. This sophisticated tool combines power, precision, and versatility, making it an essential addition to any workshop.

At the heart of the JMS-12SCMS is its robust motor, which delivers an impressive 15 amps of power. This strength allows it to handle a wide variety of materials, from hardwoods to softer composites, making it ideal for intricate cuts and heavy-duty applications. With a maximum cutting capacity of 12 inches, the JMS-12SCMS can effortlessly slice through larger workpieces with ease, providing the kind of versatility that woodworkers crave.

One of the primary features of the jet saw is its innovative sliding mechanism. This sliding arm design allows for expanded cutting capacity, so users can achieve precise crosscuts and bevels without the need for additional tools. The smooth glide feature ensures that the saw moves effortlessly along its track, significantly reducing friction and wear.

The JMS-12SCMS also boasts a dual bevel capability, allowing for bevel cuts up to 45 degrees left and right. This feature is particularly useful for complex projects that require intricate angles, giving users the flexibility to make precise adjustments without having to flip the workpiece. Additionally, the miter angle can be adjusted to a range of 60 degrees to the right and 52 degrees to the left, providing a comprehensive cutting range for any project.

For enhanced accuracy, this tool includes an easy-to-read digital display for miter and bevel angles, allowing users to set their cuts with confidence. The built-in laser guide further aids in precision, ensuring that every cut is exactly where it's needed.

Safety is always a priority, and the JMS-12SCMS incorporates several features to keep users protected. The saw’s blade guard effectively shields users from accidental contact with the blade, while the electric brake stops the blade quickly after the trigger is released, minimizing the risk of injury.

In conclusion, the Jet Tools JMS-12SCMS is an exceptional tool that combines robust power, innovative features, and a focus on safety. Its advanced technologies and user-friendly design make it a top choice for those seeking reliability and precision in their woodworking projects.
