Power Supply and Motor

Specifications

The AC motor used in this saw is a universal, nonreversible type (see Motor in the Specifica- tions section on page 8).

To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the machine, use proper circuit protection. Your saw is wired at the factory for 120V operation. Connect to a 120V, 15 Amp circuit and use a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately to avoid shock or fire.

Electrical Requirements

This machine is double insulated to provide a double thickness of insulation between the user and the machine's electrical system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protective insulation.

This saw has a plug that looks like the one shown in Figure A.

Figure A

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this saw has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool.

To avoid electrocution:

1.Use only identical replacement parts when servicing a tool with double insulation. Servicing should be performed by a qualified technician.

2.Do not use power tools in wet or damp locations or expose them to rain or snow.

Extension Cords

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Important: Make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered electrician check the receptacle.

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.
