Introduction
This manual includes operating and
maintenance instructions for the JET Model SSH
and SSVH Material Support Stands. The manual
also covers JET Model SSHHO and SSVHO
Roller Heads used on the material support
stands.
This manual also contains parts listings and
illustrations of replaceable parts (refer to the
Replacement
Parts
section).
Set-up and Use
Unpacking
1. Check for shipping damage. If any damage
has occurred a claim must be filed
immediately with the carrier to assure
prompt response.
2. Check for completeness. Make sure all parts
have been provided before attempting
assembly. (Refer to the Replacement Parts
section for parts breakdown.)
Assembly
Do not attempt assembly if
parts are missing. Use instructions in this
manual to order replacement parts.
1. Refer to exploded views in the Replacement
Parts section for parts breakdown of the
support stand. The reference numbers in the
procedures correspond with the reference
numbers in the exploded views.
2. Install retaining ring (9) on inner column
(10).
3. Install nuts (6) finger tight on bolts (5); install
as close to the head as possible. The nuts
will be used as jam nuts after the screws are
installed.
4. Install the outer column (2) in base (1).
Insert the outer column (2) so it is seated
against the shoulder in base (1). Install two
bolts (4) and tighten nuts (3) against base
(1) to secure.
5. Install inner column (10) into the outer
column (2).
6. Clean surfaces of the inner column clamp
(7) using a non-lubricating solvent. The
surface of the inner column clamp (7) must
be clean for proper clamping.
7. Install column clamp (7) onto the outside of
the outer column (2) through inner column
(10). Install two bolts (5) and tighten nuts (6)
against outer column (2) to secure. Install
locking handle (8) in column clamp (7).
Secure inner column (10) by tightening the
locking handle (8).
8. Position
the
V-roller head (17) or horizontal
roller head on inner column (10) so it is
seated against the shoulder in roller head
casting (11). Secure roller head (17) with
two bolts (5). Tighten nuts (6) against head
casting (11) to secure.
9. To interchange the roller heads, loosen bolts
(5) and remove the roller head (17). Install
the roller head (17) and tighten bolts (5) and
nuts (6).
Using the Material Support Stand
Although the operation of
the material support stand is simple, the
operator must perform the steps carefully.
The material support stand can handle heavy
loads, but if not used correctly, severe injury
could result.
Note:
The roller support stand must be used on
a level surface and bolted to the floor whenever
possible.
Adjusting Roller Head Height
1. Adjust the height of the roller head by raising
or lowering the inner column.
2. Lock the position of the roller head by
tightening the locking handle.
3. The amount of clamping force between the
column clamp and the inner column
determines the amount weight the stand can
support.
4. Keep the inner column clean. Accumulated
oil, grease, splashed coolants, or machining
debris caught between the inner column and
column clamp will reduce the amount of
clamping force.
Moving Material on the Rollers
1. Adjust the roller head height so that the top
of the roller is at the same height as the saw
table.
2. The rollers are equipped with ball bearings
to provide easy roller action.
3. When using multiple stands, make sure the
stands are aligned so the material is
centered over the stand. The material
should glide smoothly over the rollers. Move
the material slowly over the rollers; heavier
material will be difficult to stop if it is moved
too quickly.
