10.4Blade replacement

Disconnect machine from the power source before changing saw blades. Failure to comply may result in serious injury!

To change the saw blade (Figure 12):

1.Disconnect machine from power.

2.Clamp a piece of wood in the vise, and lower the blade upon it to prevent rotation.

3.Release the linkage from the blade guard at

(A)with a 5mm hex key, and rotate the guard out of the way.

4.Remove the screw (B) with a 10mm hex key. NOTE: Left-hand threads; turn clock-wise to loosen.

5.Remove the blade (use gloves).

6.Secure a new blade by reversing the above steps. Make sure the direction of the teeth is correct.

IMPORTANT: A new blade requires a break-in period. Use half the normal feed speed for the operation; operate for a cutting surface of about

300cm2 for hard materials; about 1000 cm2 for soft materials. Then resume normal speed.

11.0Controls

The Control Panel (Figure 13) has the following functions.

Power On and Off.

Pressing the On button activates power to the machine. The On button has a green indicator lamp when electrical power is active.

Pressing the red Off button stops blade movement.

Emergency Stop – Press to shut down all machine functions. To restart machine, rotate button clockwise to disengage E-stop.

Figure 13

Coolant Flow – The green ON button must be active to start coolant flow.

Low/Off/High Switch – Selects the blade speed. For the blade to operate, the On switch must be pressed, blade speed switch must be set to Low or High (3-phase models only), and the trigger on the operating lever pressed.

Trigger – (shown in Figure 3). When pressed, it activates a micro-switch in the operating lever grip.

12.0Operation

Before using the machine:

‰Check that safety devices (e.g. blade guards) are in position and work perfectly and that personal safety requirements are complied with.

‰Check the sharpness of the blade and verify proper coolant flow.

Operating

1.Position work piece and close the vise; rotate the cam lever at the handwheel to secure the setting of the vise. NOTE: A long work piece must have proper support on both ends.

2.If mitering, adjust the head accordingly and lock it in position. If making a mitered cut, verify that the blade will not contact the rear vise jaw. If it will, loosen the screw on the rear vise jaw and slide the jaw so that it clears the path of the blade, then retighten screw.

3.Turn the power on.

4.Select the blade speed.

5.Turn on coolant flow switch.

6.Start the blade by pressing the trigger on the handle grip. The trigger also activates the coolant flow.

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.
