What to do if my Jet Saw motor will not start?
If your Jet Saw motor won't start, there are several potential causes. First, check the power line to ensure it's providing the correct voltage. Inspect all lead connections on the motor for any loose or open connections. Also, examine the cord and plug for damage, replacing them if necessary. Finally, check the carbon brushes for wear and replace them if needed.
Why does my Jet Saw motor not start and fuses blow?
If your Jet Saw motor doesn't start and the fuses blow or the circuit breaker trips, it could be due to a short circuit in the line cord or plug. Inspect the cord or plug for damaged insulation and shorted wires. Another possible cause is a short circuit in the motor or loose connections; inspect all connections on the motor for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation. Lastly, check if you're using the correct fuses or circuit breakers in the power line, and install the correct ones if needed.
Why does my Jet Saw blade frequently break?
Frequent blade breakage in your Jet Saw can stem from several issues. Ensure you've set the proper blade tension. Avoid overworking the blade by reducing the feed rate. Verify you're using the correct blade type for the job. Prevent blade twisting by avoiding side pressure and reducing the feed rate. Lastly, ensure the blade has a minimum of 3 teeth in contact with the workpiece to avoid too few teeth per inch.
What to do if my Jet JWSS-18B Saw has excessive vibration?
Excessive vibration in your Jet Saw could be due to a few reasons. Make sure the saw is properly secured to the bench or stand. A heavier workbench can reduce vibration; consider using pads or fiber washers at mounting contact points. Check if the arms/linkage system is tight by tightening the trunnion lock knob. Also, ensure the motor mounting is secure by tightening the motor mount screws.
Why does my Jet JWSS-18B Saw machine slow down when operating?
Your Jet Saw slowing down during operation is likely due to applying too much pressure to the workpiece. Try feeding the workpiece more slowly.
How to fix blade drift on Jet JWSS-18B?
Some blade drift is unavoidable depending on the blade size and type of cut; compensate by manipulating the workpiece into the blade. Also, incorrect blade tension can cause drift; increase the tension.
What to do if the tilting mechanism on my Jet Saw is difficult to move?
If the tilting mechanism on your Jet Saw is hard to move, it's likely due to caked dust or other obstructions in the trunnion assemblies. Clean the trunnion areas and apply light dabs of grease to the contacting parts.
What to do if my Jet JWSS-18B Saw blade refuses to tension properly, or keeps slipping?
If the blade on your Jet Saw won't tension properly or keeps slipping, first inspect the entry of the blade into the upper and lower blade chucks to ensure it's seated correctly. Next, try tightening the tension lever. Check the set screws in the upper blade chuck to make sure they are tightened and contacting the blade. Finally, clean the blade clamp and the ends of the set screws to remove any oil or debris.
