Center Point
The center point (A, Fig. 7) provided with the
sander can be used for sanding circles. Slide
the center point into the miter slot that is
perpendicular to the sanding disc. The radius of
the desired circle should be the distance from
the center point to the sanding disc. Lock the
center point in position by tightening the set
screws. Cut the wood to the approximate
diameter and press on to the center point.
Rotate the wood until the desired results are
achieved.
Filler Bar
The filler bar (H, Fig. 7) should be added when
sanding small workpieces. Secure in place with
the socket head cap screw (I, Fig. 7). When not
using the filler bar thread the socket head cap
screw (I, Fig. 7) in the tapped hole as a stop.
Brake
After you have turned the sander “OFF” you can
press the brake (B, Fig. 7) to slow, or stop the
sanding disc.
On/Off Switch
The machine can be turned “ON” by moving the
switch (D, Fig. 8) to the “UP” position. The key
(E, Fig. 8) can be removed when the machine is
in the “OFF” position. With the key removed
the switch will not operate.
Lubrication
You may need to lubricate the trunnion, and
trunnion holder (G, Fig. 8) if the table does not
tilt smoothly.
Motor
Make frequent inspections of the motor fan cover,
and blow out (with low pressure air hose) or
vacuum any accumulation of foreign material in
order to maintain normal motor ventilation.
WARNING
All electrical connections must be done by
a qualified electrician. All adjustments or
repairs must be done with the sander
disconnected from the power source,
unplugged. Failure to comply may result in
serious injury!
The JDS-12B disc sander is rated 115V/230V,
Prewired 115V.
If you want to run the JDS-12B on 230V refer to
the wiring diagram found on the inside of the
switch box cover (F, Fig. 8).
Before hooking up to the power source, make
sure that the switch is in the off position.
Dust Collection
The disc sander has a built in fan designed to
suck the saw dust away from the sanding disc
and exhaust through the inlet (C, Fig. 7). For
best results hook the sander to JET’s optional
accessory canister filter (#708434).
The sander can also be attached to a dust
collector using a 4” diameter hose and clamp.
JET offers a wide variety of hoses, adapters and
dust collectors.
