Operating Instructions

This section covers the fundamental steps for operating your Jet JWTS-10JF Table Saw safely and effectively.

Before Starting

  • Ensure the blade is clean, sharp, and appropriate for the material being cut.
  • Adjust the blade height so that it is approximately 1/8 inch above the workpiece.
  • Set the rip fence or miter gauge for the desired cut.
  • Clear the table of any debris or tools.
  • Confirm all safety guards are in place and functioning.

Making a Cut

  1. Position the workpiece firmly against the rip fence or miter gauge.
  2. Turn on the saw and allow the blade to reach full speed.
  3. Using a steady, controlled motion, feed the workpiece into the blade. For longer pieces, use outfeed support.
  4. Always use a push stick or push block when the workpiece is close to the blade or for narrow cuts.
  5. Once the cut is complete, turn off the saw and wait for the blade to stop completely before removing the workpiece or offcuts.
