13. Figure 5 START STOP Controls The STOP pushbutton is not guarded to allow use as an E stop in an emergency Variable Speed Control The variable speed control refer to Figure 9 is used to change the speed of the saw blade Refer to Adjusting Blade Speed for additional informa tion on the use of the variable speed control Operating Instructions Saw blades The JET14 inch saws accept blades from 1 8 inch wide to 3 4 inch wide The narrower widths are used for cutting shapes or circles the wider widths are used for straight cuts For straight cuts use the widest available saw blade A wide blade provides cutting stability and allows for more accurate and straighter cuts Blade speed effects the efficiency of the cut and the service life of the blade Good shop practice requires that work hardening materials such as stainless steel require the cut be completed in a single pass Otherwise the effect of stopping the cut can result in hardening of the cut interface Other materials such as wood require higher blade speeds to prevent fiber tearing The chart in Figure 6 provides suggested blade speeds for various types of materials The recommended speeds should be decreased 30 to 5096 when using carbon steel blades The chart provides speeds that are based on cutting a 4 inch thick work piece using a bi metal blade without cutting fluid The following conditions should also be consid ered 1 Increase speed 15
