Center Point

The center point (A, Fig. 7) provided with the sander can be used for sanding circles. Slide the center point into the miter slot that is perpendicular to the sanding disc. The radius of the desired circle should be the distance from the center point to the sanding disc. Lock the center point in position by tightening the set screws. Cut the wood to the approximate diameter and press on to the center point. Rotate the wood until the desired results are achieved.

Filler Bar

The filler bar (H, Fig. 7) should be added when sanding small workpieces. Secure in place with the socket head cap screw (I, Fig. 7). When not using the filler bar thread the socket head cap screw (I, Fig. 7) in the tapped hole as a stop.

Brake

After you have turned the sander “OFF” you can press the brake (B, Fig. 7) to slow, or stop the sanding disc.

On/Off Switch

The machine can be turned “ON” by moving the switch (D, Fig. 8) to the “UP” position. The key (E, Fig. 8) can be removed when the machine is in the “OFF” position. With the key removed the switch will not operate.

Lubrication

You may need to lubricate the trunnion, and trunnion holder (G, Fig. 8) if the table does not tilt smoothly.

Motor

Make frequent inspections of the motor fan cover, and blow out (with low pressure air hose) or vacuum any accumulation of foreign material in order to maintain normal motor ventilation.

WARNING

All electrical connections must be done by a qualified electrician. All adjustments or repairs must be done with the sander disconnected from the power source, unplugged. Failure to comply may result in serious injury!

The JDS-12B disc sander is rated 115V/230V, Prewired 115V.

If you want to run the JDS-12B on 230V refer to the wiring diagram found on the inside of the switch box cover (F, Fig. 8).

Before hooking up to the power source, make sure that the switch is in the off position.

Dust Collection

The disc sander has a built in fan designed to suck the saw dust away from the sanding disc and exhaust through the inlet (C, Fig. 7). For best results hook the sander to JET’s optional accessory canister filter (#708434).

The sander can also be attached to a dust collector using a 4” diameter hose and clamp. JET offers a wide variety of hoses, adapters and dust collectors.
