Machine Setup

The saw delivered to you has been adjusted at the factory. A number of test pieces have been cut using the saw to verify the accuracy of cutting. Therefore, the only setup operations required before releasing the saw for service are spotting the saw and estab- lishing the electrical connections to the motor.

Uncrating and Spotting

Spot the saw where it makes the most sense for the operations you will probably be doing. If you are going to be doing cut-off work on very long pieces of stock, allow plenty of room for the stock, and the infeed and outfeed supports. Remove the saw from the shipping skid and discard any hold-down devices that were used to secure the saw to the skid.

Electrical

Observe the following when connecting to the power source. (The cut-off saw wiring diagrams are provided in Figures 21 and 22.)

WARNING: JET RECOMMENDS THAT ANY WIRING INVOLVING HARD WIRING OF THE SAW TO A BRANCH, OR ANY CHANGE OF VOLTAGE SUP- PLIED TO THE MOTOR BE PERFORMED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.

1.Make sure the saw is disconnected from the power source, or that the fuses have been removed or breakers tripped in the circuit in which the saw will be connected. Make sure you put a warning placard on the fuse or circuit breaker to prevent accidental electrical shock.

2.If you are installing the motor power cord into a receptacle, make sure to use the appropriate plug.

3.If you are using hard-wired connections to a junction box, connect the wires in the box, and close the box.

4.Install the fuses or reset the breaker.

5.The saw is now ready for service.
