Warning 1. Read and understand the entire owner's manual before attempting assembly or operation. 2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of these warnings may cause serious injury. 3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed. 4. This Table Saw is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only.
19. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting. 20. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease. 21. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away. 22. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys. 23. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are careless acts that can result in serious injury. 24.
The most common accidents among table saw users, according to statistics, can be linked to kickback, the high-speed expulsion of material from the table that can strike the operator. Kickback can also result in operator’s hands being pulled into the blade. Kickback Prevention Protection Tips from Kickback Tips to avoid the most common causes of kickback: • • • Kickback can happen even if precautions are taken to prevent it.

Definitions and Terminology Arbor: Metal shaft that connects the drive mechanism to the blade. The blade guard and splitter must be re-installed after performing a non-through cut to avoid accidental contact with the saw blade during operation. Bevel Edge Cut: Tilt of the saw arbor and blade between 0° and 45° to perform an angled cutting operation. Parallel: Position of the rip fence equal in distance at every point to the side face of the saw blade.

Assembly Read and understand all assembly instructions before attempting assembly! Failure to comply may cause serious injury! Unpacking and Cleanup 1. Remove all contents from the shipping carton. Keep the saw table upside down (see Figure 5) and place on a two-by-four or similar piece of wood under the rear of the saw. This will help when picking up the table again. Do not discard the carton of packing material until the saw is assembled and is running satisfactorily. 2.
3. Slide the remaining handwheel (E) with the smaller mounting hole onto the shaft (F) on the right side of the table saw, lining up the flat side in the hole with the flat side on the shaft. 4. Secure with an M5 lock washer (G) and M5x12 socket head cap screw (H). Extension Wings Referring to Figure 8: 1. Attach the right extension wing to the saw table on the right side using four M8 hex cap screws and four M8 lock washers. Handtighten only at this time. Figure 8 2. Repeat for the left side.
Blade Guard and Splitter Referring to Figure 12: 1. Through the saw table opening on top, locate two hex nuts (A1) that secure two retaining plates (B) and loosen with a 10mm wrench. 2. Slide the tab of the blade guard splitter (C) between the two retaining plates (B) and onto the threaded mounting studs (D). Note: The anti-kickback pawls (E) should be held back when performing this step. 3. Tighten the hex nuts (A1) enough to hold the tab (C) in place but loose enough to allow for adjustment.
If alignment is required: 3. Move the straight-edge aside and through the opening (see inset) locate four hex nuts (F, G) and two retaining plates (H) that secure the splitter tab (J). 4. Slightly loosen the hex nuts (F, G). 5. To move the splitter (E) right or left, adjust all four nuts evenly to move the retaining plate and tab accordingly. To tilt the angle of the splitter to achieve alignment, adjust the two front hex nuts (F) or two rear hex nuts (G) only. 6.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch D, Figure 17. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in D. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this tool.
Extension Cord Recommendations USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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 product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table at the right shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
Adjustments Disconnect saw from power source before making adjustments. Blade Raising and Tilt Mechanism Never try to force the tilting mechanism past the 45º or 90º stops. This may cause the blade to go out of alignment. Referring to Figure 18: To raise or lower the saw blade, loosen the lock knob (A) and turn the handwheel (B) on the front of the saw until the desired height is reached. Tighten the lock knob.
If adjustment is required: 10. Back out the 45º adjust setscrew (turn counterclockwise) one or two turns with a 4mm hex wrench (F, Fig. 20). 11. Turn the blade tilting handwheel until the blade is exactly 45º. 12. Tighten the 45º adjust setscrew until it stops, but do not force. Check to make sure that the blade tilt pointer on the front of the saw properly indicates 45º or 0º (90º). If not, loosen screw and adjust until the pointer indicates properly.
Operations (NOTE: The following Figures may or may not show your specific saw, but the procedures are the same.) Table Saws Familiarize yourself with the location and operation of all controls and adjustments and the use of accessories such as the miter gauge and rip fence. Figure 23 Kickbacks Serious injury can result from kickbacks which occur when a work piece binds on the saw blade or binds between the saw blade and rip fence or other fixed object.
between the blade (B) and fence (A). Stand out of line with the saw blade and workpiece to avoid sawdust and splinters coming off the blade or a kickback, if one should occur. Rip Sawing Ripping is where the work piece is fed with the grain into the saw blade using the fence as a guide and a positioning device to ensure the desired width of cut (Figure 25). If the work piece does not have a straight edge, nail an auxiliary straight edged board on it to provide one against the fence.
Crosscutting should never be done freehand nor should the fence be used as an end stop unless an auxiliary block is clamped to the front of the blade area such that the cutoff piece comes free of the block before cutting starts (Figure 31). When ripping long boards, use a support at the front of the table, such as a roller stand, and a support or "tailman" at the rear as shown in Figure 28. Never use the rip fence beyond the point where the carriage is flush with the end of the rails.
To improve the effectiveness of the miter gauge in crosscutting, some users mount an auxiliary wooden extension face (with a glued-on strip of sandpaper) to the miter gauge as shown in Figure 32. Provide auxiliary support for any workpiece extending beyond the table top with a tendency to sag and lift up off the table. Stop rods can be used in the holes provided in the miter gauge for repetitive work of equal length. Do not use a stop rod on the free end of a workpiece.
These include push sticks, feather boards, filler pieces, fixtures, jigs and any other appropriate device that can be utilized to keep operator's hands away from the blade. Upon completion of the operation requiring removal of the guard, the entire guard assembly must be placed back on the machine in its proper working order. Never use a dado head in a tilted position. Never operate the saw without the blade guard, splitter and anti-kickback pawls for operations where they can be used.
Figure 39 – Push Stick Template Maintenance Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Cleaning Lubrication Clean the JPS-10TS according to the schedule below to ensure maximum performance. Lubricate the areas indicated below every 12 months. Note—The following maintenance schedule assumes the saw is being used every day. ! Lubricate blade angling trunnions with 6 or 7 drops of light machine oil.
Troubleshooting Symptom Possible Cause Correction Motor will not start Low voltage. Check power line for proper voltage. Open circuit in motor or loose connection. Motor will not start: fuses Short circuit in line cord or plug. or circuit breakers blow. Short circuit in motor or loose connections. Incorrect fuses or circuit breakers in power line. Motor overheats. Motor overloaded. Motor stalls resulting in blown fuses or tripped circuit. Machine slows when operating.
