Cutting Bowed Material

Always unplug the saw when removing small pieces of debris. Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

Referring to Figure 31:

1.Position a curved workpiece (C) against the fence (B).

2.Secure the curved workpiece with a clamping device (A).

Cutting a curved workpiece without the support of the fence and clamping device could result in personal injury.

Figure 31

Rough Cutting a Dado

1.Mark lines identifying the width and depth of the desired cut on the workpiece and position on the table so the inside tip of the blade is positioned on the line. Use a hold down clamp to secure the workpiece.

2.Set to the desired cutting depth as described in Presetting the Cutting Depth (page 20).

3.While holding the upper arm in position, turn the stop knob (B) until it touches the stop plate (A). Note: Stop plate (A) must be flipped to the left.

4.Cut two parallel grooves.

Auxiliary Wood Fence

When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in cut-off pieces of one inch or less, it is possible for the saw blade to catch the cut-off piece and throw it out of the saw or into the blade guard and housing, possibly causing damage or injury. To minimize this, an auxiliary wood fence can be mounted to your saw. Holes are provided in the saw fence to attach an auxiliary wood fence (this provides additional depth of cut). This fence should be constructed of straight wood approximately 3/4 in. thick by 1-1/2 in. high by 22 in. long. Attach the wood fence securely and make a full depth cut to make a blade slot. Check for interference between the wood fence and the lower blade guard. Adjust if necessary.

Changing the Belt

1.Unplug your saw.

2.Loosen the bolts and remove the belt cover.

3.Turn the screw counterclockwise with a hex wrench to move the motor forward.

4.Remove and replace the belt.

5.Turn the screw clockwise with a hex wrench to move the motor back. Do not over tighten.

6.Replace the belt cover and tighten the bolts.

JMS-12SCMS specifications

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.

In conclusion, the Jet Tools JMS-12SCMS is an exceptional tool that combines robust power, innovative features, and a focus on safety. Its advanced technologies and user-friendly design make it a top choice for those seeking reliability and precision in their woodworking projects. Whether you're a professional contractor or a dedicated DIY enthusiast, the JMS-12SCMS will undoubtedly exceed your expectations.
