Warnings
1. Read and understand the entire owners 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.
If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a Table Saw, do not use until proper
training and knowledge has been obtained.
5. Do not use this Table Saw for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, WMH Tool
Group disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result
from that use.
6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this Table Saw. Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
7. Before operating this Table Saw, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up
past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor
strips are recommended. Do not wear gloves.
8. Always use the blade guard on all ''through-sawing'' operations. A through-sawing operation is one in
which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece.
9. Kickback occurs when the workpiece is thrown towards the operator at a high rate of speed. If you do
not have a clear understanding of kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT operate this table saw!
10. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.
11. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
12. 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.
13. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
14. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.
15. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
16. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.
17. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.
18. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance
purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.
19. Make sure the Table Saw is firmly secured to the floor or bench before use.
20. 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 parts, binding of moving parts, breakage 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.
21. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
22. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.
23. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.
24. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
25. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are
careless acts that can result in serious injury.
26. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall into the blade or other moving parts. Do
not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.
27. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and safer.
28. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.
29. Maintain tools with care. Keep saw blades sharp and clean for the best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
30. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove chips or debris — do

Themost 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
Tips to avoid the most common causes of
kickback:
• Make sure the blade splitter is always
aligned with the blade. A workpiece can bind
or stop the flow of the cut if the blade splitter
is misaligned and result in kickback.
• Use the blade splitter during every cut. The
blade splitter maintains the kerf in the
workpiece, which will reduce the chance of
kickback.
•Never attempt freehand cuts. The workpiece
must be fed perfectly parallel with the blade,
otherwise kickback will likely occur. Always
use the rip fence or crosscut fence to
support the workpiece.
• Make sure that the rip fence is parallel with
the blade. If not, the chances of kickback are
very high. Take the time to check and adjust
the rip fence.
• Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime
you stop feeding a workpiece that is in the
middle of a cut, the chance of binding,
resulting in kickback, is greatly increased.
Protection Tips from
Kickback
Kickback can happen even if precautions are
taken to prevent it. Listed below are some tips to
protect you if kickback DOES occur:
• Stand to the side of the blade when cutting.
An ejected workpiece usually travels directly
in front of the blade.
• Wear safety glasses or a face shield. Your
eyes and face are the most vulnerable part
of your body.
• Never place your hand behind the blade. If
kickback occurs, your hand will be pulled
into the blade.
• Use a push stick to keep your hands farther
away from the moving blade. If a kickback
occurs, the push stick will most likely take
the damage that your hand would have
received.

Miter Gauge for Left Extension Wing
Hardware: Miter Gauge
Tools: Cross Point Screw Driver, Square
1. Change the angle on the miter gauge by
loosening handle (E, Fig. 7) and turning the
fence (F, Fig. 7) to desired angle. To move
gauge beyond index stops of 45° and 90°, flip
back the stop (G, Fig. 7).
2. Adjust index stops by turning one of three
adjustment screws (H, Fig. 7). Use a square
to verify that the fence is 90° to the saw blade,
see Figure 7.
3. Slide fence to the left, or right by loosening
handle (I, Fig. 7). Make sure fence does not
interfere with the blade when cutting.
The fence on the miter gauge
must not contact the saw blade! Failure to
comply may cause serious injury!
The procedure for installing the leveling brackets is
the same for front rail and back rail. The illustration
(Figure 8) shows the front rail.
1. Thread two M6 hex nuts (F) all the way onto
the four M6x25 socket head cap screws (G)
and thread the screws into the leveling bracket (D).
2. Place two washers (B) on two M8x25 hex cap screws (A). Insert through the mounting slots
of the front rail (C) and secure to the threaded
holes of the leveling bracket (D). Position the
leveling bracket (D) to be about 1/4” from the
front rail (C).
3. Install the remaining leveling bracket onto the
back rail repeating the procedure outlined in
Steps 1 and 2.
Note: The arbor pulley guard (H, Fig. 9) should
already be attached to the saw cabinet.
4. Mount table lock knob (J, Fig. 9) to the sliding
table (K, Fig. 9) with two M6x12 socket head
screws. Rotate knob 90° to engage/disengage
Figure 9
the lock.
Make sure that the lock knob is
in the locked position and that the table is locked (does not slide on its support
plate). Failure to do so could result in injury
when attempting installation!
Read steps 5-7 carefully before attempting to mount
the sliding table.
5. Ensure that there is approximately a 1/4” gap
between rails and the brackets (C & D, Fig. 8)
so that you can set the sliding table in position.
6. Place the sliding table (K, Fig. 9) onto the
leveling brackets (L, Fig. 9).
12
Page 13
The support plate underneath the sliding table
(Figure 10) has an inner tab (A) and an outer
tab (B). When placing the table onto the
leveling bracket (D, Fig. 8), the leveling bracket
must be positioned between the inner and
outer tabs and the slots in the tabs (C, Fig. 10)
must straddle the screws (A, Fig. 8) that
secure the leveling bracket (D, Fig. 8) to the
rail (C, Fig. 8).
7. The sliding table should rest on the jacking
screws (G, Fig. 8).
8. Place two 90° 0.02” shims between the sliding
table and the table saw table near each end.
This will help keep the sliding table parallel to
the table saw table maintaining the proper
clearance.
9. Lower, or raise jacking screws (G, Fig. 8) so
that the sliding table surface is approximately
flush, or slightly lower than table saw table
surface.
10. Snug the four hex cap screws (A, Fig. 11) but
do not tighten. This will allow you to fine tune
the sliding table with the jacking screws.
Figure 10
11. Place a flat 0.02” shim (C, Fig. 11) on the table
saw tabletop for the straight edge (B, Fig. 11)
to rest on. This will help keep the sliding table
the right height above the top of the table saw.
12. Use two jacking screws (G, Fig. 8) to raise the
sliding table until it contacts the straight edge.
The straight edge should rest flat on sliding
table and shims.
13. Move straight edge to the other end of the
table saw tabletop and repeat step 12.
14. Tighten hex nuts (F, Fig. 8) against the leveling
bracket tabs while keeping jacking screws
(G, Fig. 8) from turning.
15. Tighten the four hex cap screws (A, Fig. 11)
that hold the leveling brackets in place.
Note: When tightening the screws on the rear
rail you may need to hold the sliding table
against the shims because there is a tendency
for the sliding table to move away from the
shim (Figure 12).
16. Verify that the jack screws (G, Fig. 8) contact
the sliding table support plate (Fig. 12).
Figure 11
Figure 11A
17. Place M8 flat washers (A, Fig. 11A) and M8
hex nuts (B, Fig. 11A) on the four screws
(C, Fig. 11A). Using two 13mm wrenches,
tighten the hex nuts while holding the screw
heads.
18. Remove the shims and make sure the sliding
table is still approximately 0.02” higher than
the table saw tabletop; it is still approximately
0.02” away from the table saw tabletop.

Wooden Extension Table
The wooden extension table is an optional
accessory.
Hardware: (4) C-clamps
Tools: Electric drill, Cross point screwdriver, two
The optional wood extension table (including the
optional router table) sits flush against the saw
table and along the inside of the rails. The JET
logo (or warning label on the router table) should
face outward. The extension table is not bolted to
the saw table, it is bolted only to the rails.
Figure 15
Figure 16
The extension table and saw table must be aligned
properly so the XACTA-FENCE II™ will slide
smoothly from one to the other.
1. Place the extension table between the rails
and up against the saw table, leaving the
extension table raised just slightly above the
saw table. Clamp the extension table to the
front and back rails as shown in Figure 16.
Clamping pressure should be enough to
secure the table yet allow minor adjustments.
2. Use a hammer and block of wood (or a rubber
mallet) to tap the extension table up flush
against the cast iron saw table (Figure 16).
Then tap down the extension table at various
points along its edge where it meets the saw
Figure 17

Page 16
table, until it is level with the saw table
(Figure 17). As one part of the edge becomes
level with the table, tighten the clamp on that
side. Then move to the other side and repeat,
until the full length of the edge is level with the
saw table. Lay a straight edge across both
extension table and saw table to ensure proper
leveling.
When the extension table is properly aligned, holes
need to be drilled into the wood table using the
holes in the rails as your guide (Figure 18). You may wish to drill 3/32" pilot holes first.
3. Drill 1/4" holes into the front edge of the table
using the holes in the front rail as a guide. Drill
1/4" holes into the back edge of the table using
the holes in the back rail as a guide.
If you have a 30” Rail System go to Step 4. For a
52” Rail System, go to Step 5.
4. Install two 1/4-20 x 1-1/2 hex cap screws, four
1/4 flat washers, two 1/4" lock washers and
two 1/4 hex nuts into the holes in the front
edge of extension table as shown in Figure 19.
Finger-tighten only. Then go to Step 6.
Figure 18
If you have a 52” Rail System:
5. Install three 1/4-20 x 1-1/2 hex cap screws, six
1/4 flat washers, three 1/4" lock washers and
three 1/4 hex nuts into the holes in the front
edge of extension table as shown in Figure 19.
Finger-tighten only.
6. Repeat Step 4 (or 5) for the back rail.
Note: The back edge of the extension table
requires two 1/4-20 x 1-1/2 hex cap screws,
four 1/4 flat washers, and two each 1/4" lock
washers and 1/4 hex nuts for 30” and 52” rails.
7. Re-check the table for alignment, make further
adjustments if necessary, then tighten all
screws and nuts.
8. Mount the two legs to the inside corners of the
extension table as shown in Figure 20. Secure
with the eight screws provided.
Note: If you are using a mobile base under your
saw, you may need to shift the placement of the
legs so they rest properly upon the shelves of the
base.
9. Adjust the footpads on the legs
counterclockwise until they reach the floor,
then tighten the nut.

XACTA Fence
Screw the lock lever knob into the threaded handle
on the XACTA Fence II as shown in Figure 24.
The lock lever has three functional positions as
shown in Figure 25:
•The upright position permits mounting and
removal of fence from the saw.
•The unlock position permits easy fence
positioning.
•The lower position locks the fence to the
front rail. The cam handle should be
pushed down firmly against the pin.
Fence Adjustments
Note: Fence adjustments should be performed in
the order given.
Level with the Saw Table Adjustment
1. Place the fence on the table and lock it.
Figure 24
Figure 25
2. View the fence from the left side of the saw.
Look for the space between the table and the
fence bottom to be equal along the entire
length of the fence (Figure 26).
3. If adjustment is necessary, unlock the fence.
Figure 26
17
Page 18
4. Raise or lower two nylon adjustment screws
(A, Fig. 27) the same number of turns until the
space between the bottom of the fence and the
table is the same. Care must be taken to raise
or lower the fence on each side equally or the
fence may not be 90° to the table after the
height adjustment is performed.
Parallel to the Miter Slot Adjustment
1. Place the fence next to the outside edge of the
right miter slot and lock it.
2. The fence should be even with the miter slot
from front to back.
3. If the fence is not even along the length of the
miter slot, unlock the fence, remove it and turn
upside down (Figure 28).
4. Adjust one of the two set screws (A, Fig. 28)
until the fence is even with the miter slot edge
along its entire length when locked.
Note: You may need to re-adjust the clamping
pressure after aligning the fence.
Clamping Pressure Adjustment
The XACTA Fence II has been adjusted at the
factory to lock securely when the lock handle is
pushed down. If adjustment is needed:
1. Unlock the fence.
2. Remove the fence from the guide rail.
3. Turn the fence over.
4. Adjust each of the two set screws (A, Fig. 28)
exactly the same number of rotations until the
fence is held securely when the lock handle is
pushed down.
A clockwise rotation of the set screws will increase
the cam pressure. Counterclockwise rotation will
decrease cam pressure.
90° to the Table Adjustment
1. Place the fence on the saw table and lock it.
2. Place a square (A, Fig. 29) on the table next
to the fence. The fence should be 90° to the

5. Apply the scale strip (D) onto the guide tube at
the outlined location (E), making sure to line up
the "zero" mark (F) on the scale with the mark
on the guide tube (G) previously determined in
Step 2.
If further adjustment is required, see the Cursor
Adjustment instructions in the Adjustments section.
1. With a 3mm hex wrench, loosen two set
screws (G, Fig. 34) on the splitter guard
assembly and remove the bracket.
2. Remove the hex nut and lock washer from the
threaded end of blade guard shaft and reverse,
threading the hex nut first, then placing the
lock washer on the shaft.
3. Thread the blade guard shaft (E, Fig. 34) into
rear trunnion through opening at rear of saw.
4. Tighten blade guard shaft. The shaft has a
hole to accommodate a screwdriver.
5. Place upper and lower bracket assembly
(F, Fig. 34) in the upright position and snug
two set screws (G, Fig. 34) just enough to hold
in place.
6. Insert front tab (A, Fig. 35) of blade guard
assembly through insert opening in the table.
Loosen the hex cap screw already installed at
the factory and insert the front tab of the blade
guard. The tab is held in place between the

Grounding Instructions
This tool must be grounded
while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor, with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes, is the equipmentgrounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only
three wire extension cords that have three-prong
grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
230 Volt Operation
If 230V, single-phase operation is desired, the
following instructions must be followed:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Turn the handwheel until the saw blade is in
the 45° position. This will allow easy access
to the motor junction box.
3. This table saw is supplied with four motor
leads that are connected for 115V operation,
as shown in Figure A. Reconnect these four
motor leads for 230V operation, as shown in
Figure B.
4. The 115V attachment plug (A), supplied with
the table saw, must be replaced with a
UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V
operation (D). Contact your local Authorized
JET Service Center or qualified electrician
for proper procedures to install the plug.
The table saw must comply with all local and
national codes after the 230-volt plug is
installed.
115 Volt Operation
Your table saw is set at the factory to run at 115volt operation. When wired for 115 volt, this
table saw is intended for use on a circuit that
has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one
illustrated in (A). A temporary adapter, which
looks like the adapter as illustrated in (B), may
be used to connect this plug to a two-pole
receptacle, as shown in (B) if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should only be used until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or
tab, extending from the adapter, must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box, as shown in (B).
5. The table saw with a 230-volt plug should
only be connected to an outlet having the
same configuration (D). No adapter is
available or should be used with the 230-volt
plug.
Important: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make
certain the receptacle in question is properly
grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered
electrician check the receptacle.
Blade alignment with the miter slot is adjusted at
the factory. After a period of use, or after moving
the saw to another location, the blade may no
longer be aligned properly. To check and align the
blade, see Figure 41.
1. Disconnect saw from the power source,
unplug.
2. Raise the blade guard up and out of the way of
the blade.
3. Unlock fence and move away from the blade
so as to expose the right T-slot.
4. Choose a tooth on the far side of the blade and
directly over the insert. Mark the tooth with a
marker. Measure the distance from the side of
the blade to the right T-slot edge using a
combination square. Make sure to measure
between the teeth not on the tooth, see
Figure 41.
Figure 41
5. Rotate the blade toward the front so that the
marked tooth is just above the insert. Measure
the distance from the side of the blade to the
right T-slot edge. The two measurements
should be the same.
6. If they are not the same, loosen four hex head
screws (A, Fig. 42) that hold the trunnions to
the table. Two are shown in Figure 42.
7. Make the needed adjustments to the trunnion
assembly and tighten the four hex head
screws.
8. Check the alignment once again after
tightening hardware.
