Warnings
1. Read and understand the entire owner's manual before att empting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings po sted on the m achine and i n thi s manual. Failur e to comply wit h
all of these warnings m ay cause seriou s i njury.
3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
4. The cold saw is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel onl y. If
you are not familiar with t he proper and safe operation of a cold saw, do not use until proper training
and knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this cold saw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Walter Meier
(Manufactur ing) Inc., di sclaims any real or implied warranty and hol ds itself harmless from any injur y
that may result from that use.
6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this cold saw. Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resi stant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
7. Before operating the cold saw, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleev es up past
the elbows. Remove all loose cl othing and c onfine long hair. Non-sl ip foot wear or anti-ski d floor strips
are recommended. Do not wear gloves.
8. Wear ear protector s (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.
9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contain chemi cals known to cause cancer , birt h defects or other repr oductiv e harm. Some examples
of these chemic als are:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Crystalline sil ic a from bricks, cement and other masonry produc ts.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
10. Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
11. Do not oper ate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
12. Make c er tain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.
13. Make c er tain the machine is properly grounded.

purposes, use ext r eme caution and replace the guards immediat ely .
17. Make sure t he c old saw is firmly placed on a secure foundation.
18. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving part s, binding of moving parts, break age of parts, mounting
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
19. Prov ide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
20. Keep t he floor around the machine clean and free of scrap mater ial, oil and grease.
21. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep ch il dren away.
22. Make y our workshop chi ld proof with padlocks, m aster switc hes or by r em ov ing starter keys.

Features
Flood Coolant System
Miter Cutting Head
The miter cutting head is the unit that cuts the
material and c onsists of a cast i ron base, blade
support unit and guard, transmission unit, and
motor. The depth of cut is set by adjusting the
depth cut stop. The miter cutting head swivels
and locks into -45º, 90º, and +45º by means of a
locking mechanism. Depressing the mechani sm
overrides the lock, permitti ng the head to adjust
to any position between -45º and +45°.
Miter Position Lock
The miter position lock secu res th e mit er cut tin g
head from movement. The miter is secured
when the lock is pushed all the way to the left
and can be positioned when the l oc k is moved to
the right.
Self-centering Vise
The self-centering vise holds the work piece in
place during c utting. The work piece is secur ed
in the vise by turning the vise handles.
The coolant pump must be
submerged before operating to prevent
damage to the pump.
Coolant is di spensed directl y onto t he saw blade
from a coolant fitting on the upper blade guard.
Coolant is provided through tubing from the
coolant pump (Figur e 2) in the mac hine base.
Adjust the coolant flow valve on coolant fitti ng to
achieve desired fl ow. When the coolant switch is
in the ON position, flow starts when the drive
motor is started. Turning off the coolant switch
stops coolant fl ow.
This coolant system can operate with either a
soluble oil base coolant or water-soluble
synthetic coolant. Coolant should be changed
regularly. Some r ecommended brands are DoAll
and Lenox. These coolants are availabl e at your
local industrial distributor.
J-FK350 Controls
The cont rol panel c onsist s of the Power (On/Off)
switch and High/Stop/Low switch, and an
integral coolant system. To operate the
machine, the Power switch must be set to on
and the High/Stop/Low swi tc h m ust be se t fo r Hi
or Low. Then depr ess the tr igger handle to start.
Trigger Handle
The trigger handle (Figure 1) is located on the
operating lever used to rai se and lower the saw.
It contains a micro-switch, which is activated
when the operator depres se s the r un trigger.

Installation
Controls
Unpacking the machine
Do not handle the packed
machine using slings.
To install t he machine, fi rst rem ove the packing,
paying particular att ention not to cut any electric
wires or hydraulic hoses. Lift using straps
(Figure 3).
Control Panel
The Control Panel (Figure 4) is located on the
front of the cabinet stand and consists of the
Power and High/Stop/Low switches, described
below.
Power Switch – The Power switch has two
positions, Off and On.
High/Stop/Low Switch – This switch controls
the blade speed. To operat e the saw, the power
switch must set to on, High or Low must be
selected, and the Run Trigger depressed.
Figure 3
Anchoring and handling the machine
The base of the machine must be anchored to
the floor by two lag bolts or studs properly
anchored into conc r ete.
Electrical Connection s
All electrical connections
must be done by a qualified
electrician. All adjustments or repairs must
be done with the machine discon nect ed from
the power source, unplugged. Failure to
comply may result in seri ou s injury!
The J-FK350-2 is rated at 220V.
The J-FK350-4 is rated at 440V.
These machines not suppli ed with a plug. Use a
plug and outlet rated at least 20amps. The
circuit for the machi ne should al so be protected
by at least a 20 amp circuit break er or fuse.
Make sure that the blade turns in the correct
direction. If it does not, simply reverse two of
the phase wires on the supply input.
Figure 4
Trigger Handle
To operate, t he Power switch must b e set t o on
a Hi or Low speed selection made, and the
trigger handle depressed.

Operation
Miter Adjustment
Before using the m ac hine:
Check that safety devices (e.g., blade
guards) are in position and work perfectly
and that personal safety requirements are
complied with.
Check the sharpness of the blade and verify
coolant flow.
Operation
1. Make sure the work piece is securely
clamped in the vise.
2. Turn the power on (A, Fig. 8).
3. Select the cutting speed (B , Fig. 8).
To adjust the miter position follow the steps
below while referring to Figure 10:
1. Mov e the miter position lock (A) to the right
to release.
2. Adj ust the head t o the desired angl e rangi ng
from –45º to +45º by pushing on the back of
the motor to the right or left. The miter
position is shown on the scale (B).
3. A detent mechanism locks the head in the -45º,
90º and +45º positions to pre vent the head from
rotating. For a miter position other than -45º,
90º and +45º, press the lever (C) to release
while rotating the head.
4. When the desir ed cutti ng angle is set, m ove
miter position loc k (A) to the left to secure.
Figure 8
4. Grip the trigger handle (Figure 5) on the
cont r o l lever.
5. Start the blade by pressing the micr o-switch
on the handgrip.
The down stroke speed of the head is controlled
manually by the operator. The coolant pump is
activated during t he time that the head is below
the upper limit positi on.
When the cut is complete:
6. Raise the head.
7. Rem ove the work piece from the vise using
the vise hand wheels.
Figure 10
Depth Stop
The depth cut stop ad justment limits the lower travel
of the saw blade du r ing a cutting operation.
Remove power when making
this adjustment. Failure to
comply may result in serious injury!
To adjust the depth of cut (refer to Figure 12):
1. Using t wo 13mm wrenches, loosen the lock
nut (A).
2. With the saw in the fully lowered position,
turn the screw (B) until the saw blade
bottoms out at the desir ed level.
3. Tighten the lock nut.
