Introduction The JET Model J-F225 Cold Saw is a pendulum bench saw designed for cutting metals. Operation is manual: after turning on the electrical power supply to the machine and clamping the workpiece in the vice, the operator starts the blade by pressing the micro switch located on the control lever; he then moves the head downwards in order to cut the material; after completing the cut, the cutting head returns to position ready for a new cutting cycle.
Features In this section, refer to Figure 1 except where otherwise specified. Miter Cutting Head The miter cutting head (Figure 1) is the unit that cuts the material and consists of a cast iron 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 can be adjusted from 0–45º. Miter Positioning The cutting angle (miter position) is manually adjusted and described in Performing Angle Cuts on page 10.
Unpacking Remove packing and two wrapped parcels containing the handle and workstop, requiring simple assembly, from shipping container. Then lift machine from container and place on sturdy work surface. Assembly Handgrip Tools required 23mm wrench Crosspoint screwdriver Referring to Figure 3: 1. Screw the threaded end (D) of the operating handle into the threaded opening (E) of the crank case.
the plug provided-if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. 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. Electrical Electrical Requirements When connecting the cold saw to the power source outlet, the outlet must be properly grounded to protect the operator from electrical shock.
Adjustments Remove power when making any adjustments. Failure to comply may result in serious injury! Performing Angle Cuts The JET J-F225 can perform cuts at angles up to 45º to the left. Adjust the angle of a cut as follows while referring to Figure 5: 1. Loosen two hex cap screws (A) with a 6mm hex wrench to free the turntable. 2. Turn the machine body to any position between 0–45º, reading position on the angle scale on the base. 3. Tighten the hex cap screws (A).
Changing the Saw Blade The cold saw must not be connected to the power source when changing saw blades. Failure to comply may result in serious injury! Remove the saw blade as follows while referring to Figure 6: 1. Remove the screw (A) and cover plate (B), or loosen the screw just enough to slide the cover plate away to reveal the hub. 2. Remove the socket head cap screw C that secures the bracket (D) to the lower blade guard (E). 3. Raise the lower blade guard (E) upwards (F). 4.
Controls Power Switch – The power switch has two positions, off and on. To operate the machine, the Power switch must be set to on. Then depress micro-switch (Figure 8) in the trigger handle to start. Locking Key – When the saw is not in use, the switch should be locked in the off position. To lock the switch in the off position, pull out the safety key (Figure 7). The saw will not start with the key removed. However, if the key is removed while the switch is in the on position, it can be turned off once.
Maintenance Lubrication For long life and trouble free operation, it is essential that this machine is kept clean and well lubricated. Maintenance Requirements All maintenance must be carried out with the power switched off. Failure to comply may result in serious injury! On completion of maintenance, ensure that replaced parts and/or any tools used have been removed from the machine before starting it up.
Blade Selection When using the J-F225 cold saw, it is important to select the correct type of blade for the material to be cut. This section explains the limitations and specific applications of the different types of blades. General characteristics: Fine Tooth Pitch – used for thin wall materials such as sheet steel, tubes and profiles Coarse Tooth Pitch – used for large crosssections – for soft materials (aluminum alloys and soft alloys in general).
Troubleshooting Blade and Cutting Problems Problem Probable Cause Solution Incorrect lubricant/coolant fluid Ensure proper coolant flow. Check the cutting speed, feed speed and air pressure parameters and the type of blade you are using. With a new blade it is necessary to start cutting at half feeding speed.
