WARNING
WARNING: Be sure that the flanges, spacers, and blade are clean and undamaged before mounting. Do not
use damaged parts. The JS maximum blade operating speed is 5850 rpm as labeled on the blade guard. The
JS shaft diameter is 1 inch. Therefore, only use dry cut diamond blades rated for higher than 5850-rpm
maximum safe speed and designed for 1-inch diameter shafts. Using a non dry cut diamond blade or a
blade rated below 5850 rpm could result in severe blade failure, personal injury or death. See Figure 28 and
Figure 29. Never cut material for which the blade was not designed. Check blade manufacturer's guidelines on
material to be cut. Never operate a blade in the wrong rotation direction. Verify blade direction when changing
blades.
