The product, in the report: Jet 10” Pro Shop Table Saw with Riving Knife
On Saturday, 06 July 2024, I was operating my Jet JPS-10TS table saw when, during the middle of a cut, the motor which powers the saw blade stopped working. Looked at the online instruction manual and found the need to press thermal reset switch on motor which is inside cavity of saw. Pressed button, heard a click, went back to front of saw and pressed the “ON” button to complete my cut. Later than day, the same thing occurred, and the motor stalled mid-cut. Reached inside saw cavity to press reset button, heard the click, and the saw immediately started. The blade made contact with my right hand and cut the right pinky finger. Thankfully I was able to remove my hand from the saw cavity before any further damage occurred. The outside edge of my right pinky had lost a small area of skin (1/4” by 1/4”) and bled profusely. Fortunately, no hospital visit was required, however it took nearly 24 hours for the bleeding to stop. On Tuesday 09 July, I contacted manufacturer to ask why the saw immediately restarted after pressing the reset switch and to let them know I received a minor injury. The Jet representative was able to look up the machine in his database and determined the thermal reset switch for motor is mechanical. This, when the reset button is pressed power will immediately start the motor and spin the blade. When I asked why this did not occur the first time the saw motor stalled, the representative said that because the reset switch in mechanical and not magnetic, the on/off switch needs to be powered off before pressing the reset switch. There is nothing in the owner’s manual which gives instructions on the process to reset the motor. The manual (Section 9.3) states: “If the saw becomes overloaded and the motor shuts off, push the reset button on the motor junction box (B, Figure 21) to restart.” However, on the saw I own, there is no motor junction box. The reset switch is located on the actual motor which sits approximately 4 inches from the blade. I did ask if there was a magnetic reset switch available (which would automatically turn the saw power off) and was told the newer models have them but the one I have (made in 2016) does not. I then asked about replacing the entire motor and switch assembly with the new style (which places the reset switch above the on/off switch and on the outside of the saw cavity. The representative said since the new saw style is not exactly the same as the one I own, retrofitting would not be possible. The representative suggested I could contact an electrician who might be able to rewire the saw and relocate the reset switch. Jet does not offer a trade in policy to purchase the upgraded model which has the reset switch located in a safer location and a magnetic style switch which will cut the power should the voltage drop during use.
Because of the actual location of the reset switch being so close to the saw blade, this really is a safety hazard. Further, the owner’s manual indicates the reset switch is in a different location than it actually is and makes no mention of a process to safely reset the switch. Due to the injury to myself, there is a risk that others may have a similar occurrence with the motor shutting off in the middle of a cut and upon pressing the reset switch may have a more serious injury than I received.
