Read and follow these simple rules for best results and full benefits from your machine. Used properly, JET machinery is among the best in design and safety. However, any machine used improperly can be rendered inefficient and unsafe. It is mandatory that those who use our products be properly trained in how to use them correctly. They should read and understand the Operator’s and Parts Manual as well as all labels affixed to the machine. Failure in following all of these warnings can cause serious injuries.

General Machinery Warnings

1.Always wear protective eye wear when operating machinery. Eye wear shall be impact resistant, protective safety glasses with side shields which comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications. Use of eye wear which does not comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could result in severe injury from the breakage of the eye protection.

2.Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing or jewelry which can get caught in moving parts. Rubber soled, nonslip, footwear is recommended for best footing.

3.Do not overreach. Failure to maintain a proper working position can cause you to fall into the machine or cause your clothing to get caught — pulling you into the machine.

4.Keep the guards in place and in proper working order. Do not operate the machine with the guards removed.

5.Avoid dangerous working environments. Do not use stationary machine tools in wet or damp locations. Keep work areas clean and well lit.

6.Special electrical precautions should be taken when working on flammable materials.

7.Avoid accidental starts by being sure that the start switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the machine.

8.Never leave the machine running while unattended. The machine shall be shut off whenever it is not being used.

9.Disconnect the electrical power before servicing, whenever changing accessories or when general maintenance is done on the machine.

10.Maintain all machine tools with care. Follow all maintenance instructions for lubricating and the changing of accessories. No attempt shall be made to modify or have makeshift repairs done to the machine. This not only voids the warranty but also renders the machine unsafe.

11.If there is any risk of tipping or sliding, the machinery must be anchored to the floor.

12.Secure your work. Use clamps or a vise to hold your work, when practical. It is safer than using your hands and it frees both hands to operate the machine.

13.Never brush chips away while the machine is in operation.

14.Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite accidents.

15.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the machine on.

16.Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed for.

17.Use only recommended accessories and follow manufacturer’s instructions pertaining to them.
