4.0 Introduction
The JET CS-275 and CS-315 Cold Saws are designed to provide a reliable solution to the needs of machine
shops and production environments that work with steel or iron. The saws are manually operated. After
clamping the material in the vise, the operator presses the trigger starting the blade, and brings the operating
lever downward to cut the material. The saws can perform miter cuts up to 45º to the right or left.
This manual is provided by JET covering the safe operation and maintenance procedures for the JET Cold
Saw. This manual contains instructions on installation, safety precautions, general operating procedures,
maintenance instructions and parts breakdown. Your machine has been designed and constructed to provide
consistent, long-term operation if used in accordance with the instructions as set forth in this document.
If there are questions or comments, please contact your local supplier or JET. JET c an also be reached at our
web site: www.jettools.com.
Retain this manual for future reference. If the machine transfers ownership, the manual should accompany it

Miter cutting head
The miter cutting head is the unit that perf orms the
cut, and is pivoted downward manually by means
of the operating lever. The head is mounted to a
cast iron base, and consists of a blade support unit
with guard, transmission unit, and motor. The
depth of cut is set by adjusting the depth stop. The
miter cutting head swivels and locks into any
position within a 135º range.
Miter position lock
The miter position lock secures the miter cutting
head from movement. The miter is secured when
the lever is moved to the right and is released
when the lever is moved to the left.
Self-centering vise
The self-centering vise holds the work piece in
place during cutting. The handwheel brings the
vise toward the work piece, then the cam lever is
rotated for fast clamping. An anti-burr attachment is
included, as well as a stop assembly for repetitive
cuts of the same length.
Control panel
The panel features independent ON and OFF
buttons with indicator light, a mushroom style red
emergency OFF switch, coolant flow switch, and a
switch for speed selection.
Flood coolant system
The coolant pump must be
submerged before operating to prevent damage
to the pump.
Coolant is dispensed directly onto the saw blade
from a coolant fitting on the upper blade guard.
Coolant is provided through tubing from the coolant
pump which rests inside the machine base. See
sect. 13.3 for further information about proper
coolants.

Tools required for assembly (not provided):
6mm hex key (Allen wrench)
12mm and 19mm open-end wrenches
Remove all packing material from around the
machine. Remove screws holding the saw to the
skid. Lift the machine off the skid using straps
around the cast iron portions of the head (keep
straps away from blade, levers, etc.).
The location should have sufficient lighting to
prevent shadows around the work area. Leave
enough room on all sides of the machine for
movement of stock and for general maintenance
work.
The base of the machine must be anchored to the
floor by two lag bolts or studs properly anchored
into concrete.
After positioning the machine, remove any cords
that were used to secure the head in lowered
position during shipping.
Exposed metal surfaces have been coated with a
rust-protectant from the factory. Remove this using
a soft cloth dampened with a cleaner/degreaser.
Do not use gasoline, paint thinner, acetone, or
other highly flammable substances, and avoid
using an abrasive pad as it may scratch metal
surfaces.
