Sliding Fence, Sliding Carriage System

Sliding Fence

The sliding fence must be extended to the left or right when making bevel cuts. Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

Failure to extend the sliding fence will not allow enough space for the blade to pass through. This could result in serious injury. At extreme miter or bevel angles the saw blade may also contact the fence resulting in damage to equipment as well as personal injury.

The right side sliding fence must be removed when making any right bevel angle cuts greater than 35º in combination with any right hand miter angle. This fence must also be removed whenever a 45º bevel angle is desired with a miter angle greater than 22.5º.

To adjust the sliding fence (refer to Figure 24):

1.Unlock the fence cam locking lever (A) (shown locked in Figure 24) by pushing it toward the rear of the machine.

2.Extend the fence (B) by sliding it out (C) to match the degree of the bevel cut. Lock the fence cam locking lever (A) as shown.

Note: Secure the sliding fence in position closest to the saw blade when transporting the saw.

Removing or Installing the Sliding Fence

Removing

1.Unlock the fence cam locking lever (A, Fig. 24 shows the locked position).

2.Lift up on the sliding fence to remove.

Installing

1.Place the sliding fence onto the miter saw fence making sure to align the nut on the sliding fence with the slot in the stationary fence.

2.Lock the sliding fence by push the cam-locking lever in as shown (A, Fig. 24)

Sliding Carriage System

To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation.

!For a chop cutting operations on small workpieces, slide the cutting head assembly completely toward the rear of the unit and tighten the carriage lock knob (A, Fig. 25).

!To cut wide boards up to 12-1/4 in., the carriage lock knob (A, Fig. 25) should be loosened to allow the cutting head to slide freely.

To avoid injury from materials being thrown, always unplug the saw to avoid accidental starting, and remove small pieces of material from the table cavity. The table insert may be removed for this purpose, but always reattach the table insert prior to performing a cutting operation.

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.
