Safety instructions on sawing systems

20.Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

Lead from lead based paint

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

21.Your risk from those exposures varies, depend- ing on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

General Electrical Cautions

This saw should be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. This work should be done by a qualified electrician. The saw should be grounded to protect the user from electrical shock.

Wire sizes

Caution: for circuits which are far away from the electrical service box, the wire size must be increased in order to deliver ample voltage to the motor. To minimize power losses and to prevent motor overheat- ing and burnout, the use of wire sizes for branch circuits or electrical extension cords according to the following table is recommended:

Conductor length	AWG (American wire gauge) number
	240 volt lines	120 volt lines
0-50 feet	No. 14	No. 14
50-100 feet	No. 14	No. 12
Over 100 feet	No. 12	No. 8

1.Always wear leather gloves when handling saw blade. The operator shall not wear gloves when operating the machine.

2.All doors shall be closed, all panels replaced, and all other safety guards in place prior to the machine being started or operated.

3.Be sure that the blade is not in contact with the workpiece when the motor is started. The motor shall be started and you should allow the saw to come to full speed before bringing the workpiece into the saw blade.

4.Keep hands away from the blade area. See

figure A.

5.Remove any cut off piece carefully while keeping your hands free of the blade area.

6.Saw must be stopped and electrical supply must be cut off before any blade replacement or adjustment of blade support mechanism is done, or before any attempt is made to change the drive belts or before any periodic service or maintenance is per- formed on the saw.

7.Remove all loose items and any unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting machine.

8.Bring adjustable saw guides and guards as

close as possible to the work piece.

9.Always wear protective eye wear when operating, servicing or adjusting machinery. Eyewear shall be impact resistant, protective safety glasses with side shields complying with ANSI Z87.1 specifications. Use of eye wear which does not comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could result in severe injury from breakage of eye protection. See figure B.

10.Non-slip footwear and safety shoes are recommended. See figure C.

11.Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation. See figure D.

12.The workpiece, or part being sawed, must be securely clamped before the saw blade enters it.

13.Remove cut off pieces carefully, keeping hands away from sawblade.

14.Saw must be stopped and electrical supply cut off or machine unplugged before reaching into cutting area.

15.Avoid contact with coolant, especially guarding your eyes.

J-3410-2, J-3410 specifications

Jet Tools is renowned for its high-quality woodworking and metalworking equipment, and the J-3410 and J-3410-2 drill presses are prime examples of this commitment to excellence. These machines are engineered for precision, durability, and efficiency, appealing to both hobbyists and professional craftsmen.

The J-3410 features a robust 1 HP motor that provides ample power for a variety of drilling applications. This strength enables it to handle a wide range of materials, making it versatile enough for various projects. The machine operates at five different speeds, ranging from 600 to 3,100 RPM, allowing users to select the ideal speed for the specific material and drill bit size they are using. This versatility is crucial for achieving the desired results, whether it’s delicate woodwork or tougher metals.

One of the standout features of the J-3410 is its adjustable table, which can tilt up to 45 degrees, facilitating angled drilling. The table is constructed from heavy-duty cast iron, ensuring stability and reducing vibration, which is vital for precision work. Additionally, this model comes with a built-in laser guide that provides an accurate reference point for drilling, enhancing user efficiency and accuracy.

The J-3410-2 model builds upon the features of the J-3410, offering dual laser guides for even greater precision. These guides help users easily align the drill bit, ensuring that holes are drilled exactly where intended. The dual lasers also enhance visibility, especially in low-light environments. This model also includes a larger work table, allowing for drilling operations on bigger workpieces without compromising stability.

Both models are equipped with a heavy-duty, quick-adjust depth stop. This feature allows for consistency in repetitive drilling tasks, which is essential for users who need to achieve uniform results. They also feature an easy-to-use belt and pulley system for speed changes, ensuring that the transition between different speeds is effortless.

Safety is paramount in the design of the J-3410 and J-3410-2 press. A protective on/off switch prevents accidental start-ups, while the cast iron construction enhances overall stability and reduces the likelihood of accidents during operation.

The Jet Tools J-3410 and J-3410-2 combine power, precision, and safety, making them excellent choices for anyone in need of reliable drilling equipment. Whether for professional use or personal projects, these drill presses stand out in their class, showcasing Jet's commitment to quality and innovation.
