What to do if my Jet EQUIPMENT & TOOLS Saw stops or will not start?
If your Jet EQUIPMENT & TOOLS Saw stops or refuses to start, begin by checking the plug connections to ensure the saw is properly plugged in. If the saw is plugged in, inspect the fuse or circuit breaker; replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker if necessary. Also, examine the cord for any damage and replace it if damage is found.
Why does my Jet EQUIPMENT & TOOLS JWBS-18 Saw vibrate so much?
If your Jet EQUIPMENT & TOOLS Saw vibrates excessively, first, ensure the base is positioned on a flat, level surface. If the vibration persists, check the V-belt and replace it if it's bad. Also, inspect the motor mount and other hardware for looseness, and tighten them as needed.
How to improve cut quality on my Jet EQUIPMENT & TOOLS Saw?
If your Jet EQUIPMENT & TOOLS Saw makes unsatisfactory cuts, start by replacing the blade if it's dull. Ensure the blade is mounted correctly with the teeth pointing down. Clean any gum or pitch from the blade and the table. Finally, make sure you are using the correct blade type for the cut.
Why does the blade wander during cuts on my Jet EQUIPMENT & TOOLS JWBS-18?
If the blade on your Jet EQUIPMENT & TOOLS Saw wanders during a cut, check and adjust the fence to ensure it is aligned with the blade. If you're using warped wood, select another piece. Reduce the feed rate. Ensure you are using the correct blade for the cut and that the blade tension is set according to the blade size. For guide bearing adjustment, please review pages 8 & 9.
