9.4Grounding instructions

This machine must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment- grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

10.0Adjustments

10.1Miter adjustment

Refer to Figure 10.

The cold saw head has a rotational range of 135°. To adjust the miter position, follow the steps below:

1.Move the miter position lock lever to the left to release.

2.Adjust the head to the desired angle by pushing on the back of the motor to the right or left. The miter position is shown on the scale.

3.Loosen the cap screw (A) atop the vise, and slide the jaw as needed to accommodate the angle of the blade. Re-tighten the cap screw securely.

4.When the desired cutting angle is set, move miter position lock lever firmly to the right to secure the setting.

Two adjustable miter stops are provided for +45 and -45 degrees. Use an angle measuring device against blade and jaws, or make test cuts to verify the initial setting of these stops.

10.2Vise

Refer to Figure 10.

The vise is self-centering and has a cam action lever for fast clamping. Use the handwheel to move the vise jaw about 1/16-inch away from the work piece, then rotate the cam lever to tighten.

The adjustable anti-burr arm keeps the off-cut end from flexing, which can cause burring. Use a 10mm hex key to loosen the arm for adjusting.

Figure 10

10.3Stops

Refer to Figure 11.

The front stop limits the blade depth of cut. The rear stop limits return motion of the head.

To adjust depth of cut:

1.Disconnect machine from power source.

2.Using two 3/4” (19mm) wrenches, loosen lock nut (A) while holding screw (B) stationary.

3.With the saw in the fully lowered position, turn screw (B) until the saw blade bottoms out at the desired level.

4.Tighten lock nut (A).

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.
