Dust Connection; Starting Operation; Machine Operation - Jet JWBS-16X Mode D'emploi

5.4 Dust connection

Before initial operation, the machine must be connected to a
dust extractor. The suction should switch on automatically
when the bandsaw is switched on.
The flow rate on the suction port must be 20m/sec.
Flexible hoses must be of non-flammable quality, and must
be connected to the machine ground system.

5.5 Starting operation

You can start the machine with the green on button. The red
button on the main switch stops the machine.
In case of machine overload the motor overload cut-off will
react.
After appr.10 min of cooling the machine can be started again.

6. Machine operation

Correct working position:
In front of the machine standing in the direction of cutting.
Workpiece handling:
Hands placed flat on the workpiece outside the cutting area.
Feed the workpiece towards the saw blade in the direction of
the saw line, and cut as required by turning to follow the line
drawn. Push the workpiece steadily forward; complete the cut
as a single movement. Do not draw the workpiece back, as
this could cause the sawblade to run off its wheels.
Support long and wide workpieces with helping roller stands.
Operating hints:
Work only with a sharp and flawless sawblade.
Near the cutting area use a push stick to feed.
Use a feeding template to safely guide small and narrow
workpieces.
Use a suitable wedge to prevent round timber from turning
under the pressure of the cut.
Blade Drift:
Blade drift is a frequent problem on rip cuts and during
resawing.
Blade drift may occur when the fence is being used, the blade
begins to wander off the cutting line (Fig 8).
Blade drift can be caused by a number of factors.
.
Fig 8
- The saw blade follows the grain
- The saw blade is dull.
- Blade guides not adjusted correctly.
- Blade tension unsufficient.
- Blade-teeth have asymmetric"set"
Resaw guide:
The resaw guide allows you to compensate blade drift.
The feed direction can be lined up to follow the cut.
For resawing attach the post (A, Fig 9) to the fence with the
lock knob (B). Position the post so that it is centered with the
blade teeth.
Auxiliary fence for rip fence:
For your own safety always set the upper saw guide as close
to the workpiece as possible.
For narrow shallow cuts on the rip fence a self-made auxiliary
fence (E, Fig. 8) made of cutable material ( e.g. wood, plastic,
aluminium) must be used.
Length same as rip fence.
