4. The feed rates on the placard are expressed in
meters per minute. The feed rate graduations
available on the indicator may not match the
recommended feed rate. An approximate speed
may therefore be required. For example, to set a
speed rate of 25 meters per minute, the indicator
would be set about midway between 21 metersper-minute and the 30 meters-per-minute graduations.
Controlling the Cut:
Hydraulic Feed Control
The weight of the saw arm provides all the force
needed to move the saw blade through the workpiece.
In fact, if the full weight of the arm is allowed to make
the cut, rapid blade wear and poor cutting accuracy
will result. A hydraulic feed control is provided on the
control panel to provide the operator with a means to
control the speed and efficiency of the cutting operation.
The hydraulic cylinder is attached to the saw base
and the saw head. Hydraulic pressure is provided to
both sides of the hydraulic cylinder piston to raise
and lower the saw head. The feed rate control on the
control panel determines the rate at which the saw
head is raised or lowered.
The amount of downward force can be controlled
by using the feed rate control valve. When the valve
is opened slightly, the saw head will move downward.
The further the valve is opened, the faster the saw
head will move downward.
The feed control is adjusted by the operator to
maintain cutting efficiency. This is usually determined by observing the chip formation. (See Evaluating Blade Efficiency for more information on cutting
efficiency.)
Evaluating Cutting Efficiency
Is the blade cutting efficiently? The best way to
determine this is to observe the chips formed by the
cutting blade.
If the chip formation is powdery, then the feed rate
is much too light, or the blade is dull.
If the chips formed are curled, but colored — that
is, either blue or straw-colored from heat generated
during the cut — then the feed rate is too high.
If the chips are slightly curled and are not colored
by heat — the blade is sufficiently sharp and is
cutting at its most efficient rate.
Blade Selection
The cut-off saw is provided with a saw blade that is
adequate for a variety of cut-off jobs on a variety of
common materials. A 4/6 vari tooth bi-metal blade
(5512107) and a 6/10 vari tooth bi-metal blade
(5512108) are available from JET.
appropriate for many shop cutting needs, do not
encompass the wide variety of blades of special
configuration (tooth pitch and set) and special alloys
for cutting unusual or exotic materials.
A coarse blade could be used for a solid steel bar
but a finer tooth blade would be used on a thin-wall
tube. In general, the blade choice is determined by
the thickness of the material; the thinner the material,
the finer the tooth pitch.
A minimum of three teeth should be on the work
piece at all times for proper cutting. The blade and
workpiece can be damaged if the teeth are so far
apart that they straddle the workpiece.
For very high production on cutting of special
materials, or to cut hard-to-cut materials such as
stainless steel, tool steel, or titanium, you can ask
your industrial distributor for more specific blade
recommendations. Also, the supplier who provides
the workpiece material should be prepared to provide
you with very specific instructions regarding the best
blade (and coolant or cutting fluid, if needed) for the
material and shape supplied.
Blade Break-in Procedures
New blades are very sharp and, therefore, have a
tooth geometry which is easily damaged if a careful
break-in procedure is not followed. Consult the blade
manufacturer’s literature for break-in of specific
blades on specific materials. However, the following
procedure will be adequate for break-in of JETsupplied blades on lower alloy ferrous materials.
1. Clamp a round section workpiece in the vise. The
workpiece should be 2 inches or larger in diam-
eter.
2. Set the saw on low speed. Start the cut with a
very light feed rate.
3. When the saw has completed 1/3 of the cut,
increase the feed rate slightly and allow the saw
to complete the cut.
4. Keep the same hydraulic cylinder setting and
begin a second cut on the same or similar
workpiece.
5. When the blade has completed about 1/3 of the
cut, increase the feed rate. Watch the chip
formation until cutting is at its most efficient rate
and allow the saw to complete the cut (see
Evaluating Blade Efficiency). The blade is now
considered ready for regular service.

mended for various materials. These selections, while

Coolant Flow
CAUTION: THE COOLANT PUMP MUST BE SUBMERGED BEFORE OPERATING TO PREVENT
DAMAGE TO THE PUMP.
Starting the Saw
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE SAW WITHOUT BLADE COVERS IN PLACE AND SECURED.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE BLADE IS NOT IN
CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE WHEN THE
MOTOR IS STARTED. DO NOT DROP THE SAW
HEAD ON THE WORKPIECE OR FORCE THE SAW
BLADE THROUGH THE WORKPIECE.
1. Raise the saw head.
2. Clamp the workpiece in the vise. (See figure 9 for
examples of workpieces in the vise.)
3. Be sure to start the saw blade drive motor before
allowing the blade to contact the workpiece.
4. Start the motor and allow the saw to come up to
speed.
5. Slowly bring the saw down onto the workpiece.
Adjust feed rate using feed rate control.
6. DO NOT LOWER THE SAW HEAD AT A RATE
FASTER THAN THE SAW’S CAPABILITY OR
FORCE THE CUT. Adjust the feed rate so the
hydraulic cylinder provides the proper amount of
downward force.
7. The saw will automatically shut off at the end of
the cut.
Rounds
1. The blade guides are fitted with coolant fittings.
Coolant is provided to the fittings through interconnecting tubing. The coolant is dispensed directly
onto the saw blade.
2. Adjust the coolant flow valves on the top, rear of
the saw head as required to provide the desired
flow. The flow should be no more than the blade
can draw into the workpiece by movement of the
blade.
3. The coolant flow can be stopped in two ways:
1) By using the coolant pump switch on the
electrical equipment box, or
2) By closing the coolant flow valves on the top,
rear of the saw head.
Coolant Mixture and Quantity
The general purpose coolant is a mixture of water
soluble oil and water. Mix one part of soluble oil
(TRIM SOL) to ten parts of water (one quart oil, ten
quarts of water). The eleven quarts of coolant is the
amount required for the coolant pump to operate
properly.
There are numerous coolants on the market that
are formulated for special applications. Consult your
local distributor for details in the event you have a
long range production task, or are required to cut
some of the more exotic materials.

Adjustments
The efficient operation of the cut-off saw is
dependent upon the condition of the saw blade. If the
performance of the saw begins to deteriorate, the first
item that you should check is the blade.
If a new blade does not restore the machine’s
cutting accuracy and quality, refer to the Troubleshooting section (or the blade manufacturer’s guide)
for conditions to consider and adjustments that can
be made to increase the life of the blade.
To change the blade, refer to Changing Blades in
the Maintenance section. To adjust the blade tracking, refer to the following procedures.
Blade Tracking Adjustment
Blade tracking has been tested at the factory. Adjustment is rarely required when the blade is used
properly or if the blade is correctly welded. (See
figure 10 for location of blade tracking adjustment

CAUTION: WHILE PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING, KEEP THE BLADE FROM RUBBING EXCESSIVELY ON THE SHOULDER OF THE WHEEL.
EXCESSIVE RUBBING WILL DAMAGE THE
WHEEL AND/OR THE BLADE.
8. Turn the single hex adjustment screw to stop the
motion of the blade on the wheel as it gets closer
to the wheel shoulder. Put a 6-inch length of
paper between the blade and the wheel as shown
in figure 11. The paper should not be cut as it
passes between the wheel shoulder and the blade.
9. Turn the single hex adjustment screw a small
amount. Repeat the insertion of the paper
between the wheel shoulder and the blade until the
paper is cut in two pieces.
NOTE: You may have to repeat the check with the
paper several times before the blade and the shoulder
cuts the paper into two pieces. Do not hurry the
adjustment. Patience and accuracy here will pay off
with better, more accurate, quieter cutting and much
longer machine and blade life.
10. When the paper is cut, turn the hex adjustment
screw slightly in the counterclockwise direction.
This assures that the blade is not touching the
shoulder of the wheel.
11. Shut off the saw.
12. Hold the hex adjustment screws with a wrench
and tighten the center locking screws. Make sure
the hex adjustment screws do not move while
tightening the center screws.
13. Install the two blade guide bearing brackets.
Position the guides so the bearings just touch the
blade.
14. Install the left blade guard.
15. Close the saw head cover. Tighten the four
knobs.

6. Start the saw. Slowly turn the single hex adjustment screw at the rear of the tracking mechanism
to tilt the idler wheel. Do not turn either of the
other two adjustment screws. Turn the adjustment
screw until the blade is touching the shoulder of
the idler wheel.
NOTE: Turning the screw inward causes the blade to
move toward the shoulder of the wheel. Turning the
screw outward causes the blade to move away from
the shoulder.
7. Turn the single hex adjustment screw so the blade
starts to move away from the shoulder of the
wheel — then immediately turn the single hex
adjustment screw in the other direction so the
blade stops, then moves slowly toward the shoulder.
WARNING: KEEP FINGERS CLEAR OF THE
BLADE AND WHEEL TO AVOID INJURY.

Blade Guide Bearing
Adjustment
Proper adjustment of the blade guide bearings is
critical to efficient operation of the cut-off saw. The
blade guide bearings are adjusted at the Factory.
They should rarely require adjustment. When
adjustment is required, adjust immediately. Failure to
maintain proper blade adjustment may cause serious
blade damage or inaccurate cuts.
It is always better to try a new blade when cutting
performance is poor. If performance remains poor
after changing the blade, make the necessary
adjustments.
If a new blade does not correct the problem,
check the blade guides for proper spacing. For most
efficient operation and maximum accuracy, provide
0.001 inch clearance between the blade and the
guide bearings. The bearings will still turn freely with
this clearance. If the clearance is incorrect, the
blade may track off the drive wheel.
CAUTION: CHECK THE BLADE TO MAKE SURE
THE WELDED SECTION IS THE SAME THICKNESS
AS THE REST OF THE BLADE. IF THE BLADE IS
THICKER AT THE WELD, THE GUIDE BEARINGS
MAY BE DAMAGED.
If required, adjust the guide bearings as follows:
1. Two blade guides are used in each set of blade
guides. The inner blade guide is fixed; the outer
blade guide is adjustable. The outer blade guide
is adjusted using a knurled knob on the operator
side of the blade guide assembly.
2. A guide bearing is provided on the innermost
side of the saw blade. The guide bearing is
mounted on an eccentric bushing.
3. Hold the bushing with a 3/4-inch wrench and
loosen the center locking screw with an Allen
wrench (see figure 12).
4. Position the bearing by turning the bushing. Set
the clearance at approximately 0.001 inch.
5. Tighten the center locking screw with an Allen 5.
5. Tighten the center locking screw with an Allen
wrench while holding the eccentric bushing in
position with the 3/4-inch wrench.
6. When the adjustment is correct, the guide
bearing should rotate freely with slight pressure
of the finger (with the blade stopped).
7. Adjust blade-edge bearings so they just touch
the back edge of the blade (see figure 19).

Test cuts can be used to determine whether or not you
have adjusted the blade accurately. Use 2-inch round
bar stock to perform these test cuts, as follows:
1. With the bar stock securely clamped in the vise,
make a cut through the bar stock. (See figure 14.)
2. Mark the top of the bar stock.
3. Move the bar stock about 1/4-inch past the blade
so you can begin a second cut.
4. Rotate the bar stock 180 degrees so the mark you
made is now at the bottom of the cut.
5. Make a cut through the bar stock.
6. Use a micrometer to measure the thickness
variation of the disk you have cut from the bar
stock. Measure at the top and bottom of the disk.
The saw blade can be considered correctly adjusted when the variation measure is no more than
0.012 inch across the face of the disk.
Note: If you do not have a piece of 2-inch bar stock
available for a test cut, use a larger diameter test
piece rather than a smaller one. Maximum thickness
variation on any test piece should be no more than
0.003 inch, per side, per inch of stock diameter.
Adjustment of Limit Switches
Adjustment of Lower Limit Switch
1. The lower limit switch is provided to shut off the
saw blade drive motor when the workpiece is cut
through. The switch causes the saw head to raise
to its uppermost stop.
2. To set the limit switch, loosen the jam nut on the
limit switch stop (figure15).
3. Adjust the stop as required and retighten jam nut.
Adjustment of Upper Limit Switch
1. The upper limit switch is provided to stop the saw
head when it reaches its uppermost stop.
2. To set the upper limit switch, loosen the clamping
knob on the limit switch support bracket. Move the
limit switch to the desired switch trip point (use the
scale on the side of the support bracket).

Machine Setup
The saw delivered to you has been adjusted at the
factory. A number of test pieces have been cut using
the saw to verify the accuracy of cutting. Therefore,
the only setup operations required before releasing
the saw for service are spotting the saw and establishing the electrical connections to the motor.
Uncrating and Spotting
Spot the saw where it makes the most sense for the
operations you will probably be doing. If you are
going to be doing cut-off work on very long pieces of
stock, allow plenty of room for the stock, and the
infeed and outfeed supports. Remove the saw from
the shipping skid and discard any hold-down devices
that were used to secure the saw to the skid.
Electrical
Observe the following when connecting to the power
source. (The cut-off saw wiring diagrams are
provided in Figures 21 and 22.)

INVOLVING HARD WIRING OF THE SAW TO A
BRANCH, OR ANY CHANGE OF VOLTAGE SUPPLIED TO THE MOTOR BE PERFORMED BY A
LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
1. Make sure the saw is disconnected from the
power source, or that the fuses have been
removed or breakers tripped in the circuit in
which the saw will be connected. Make sure you
put a warning placard on the fuse or circuit
breaker to prevent accidental electrical shock.
2. If you are installing the motor power cord into a
receptacle, make sure to use the appropriate
plug.
3. If you are using hard-wired connections to a
junction box, connect the wires in the box, and
close the box.
4. Install the fuses or reset the breaker.
