1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To reduce risk of injury:
1. Read and understand the entire owner's manual
before attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the
machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with
all of these warnings may cause serious injury.
3. Replace warning labels if they become obscured
or removed.
4. This buffer is designed and intended for use by
properly trained and experienced personnel only.
If you are not familiar with the proper and safe
operation of a buffer, do not use until proper
training and knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this buffer for other than its intended
use. If used for other purposes, JET disclaims any
real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless
from any injury that may result from that use.
6. 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
breakage of eye protection. (Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses; they are NOT
safety glasses.)
7. Wear proper respiratory protection.
8. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,
neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
9. Wear protective clothing such as apron or safety
shoes, where the work activity presents a hazard
to the operator.
10. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) if the
particular work requires it.
11. Do not operate this machine while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
12. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position
before connecting the machine to the power
supply.
13. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
14. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance
with the machine unplugged from the power
source.
15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the machine before
turning it on.
16. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the
machine is in use. If removed for maintenance
purposes, use extreme caution and replace the
guards immediately after completion of
maintenance.
17. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
machine, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced.
18. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
19. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free
of scrap material, oil and grease.
20. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area.
Keep children away.
21. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
22. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-
play” are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.
23. Keep proper footing and balance at all times so
that you do not fall into or lean against the buffing
wheel or other moving parts. Do not overreach or
use excessive force to perform any machine
operation.
24. Disconnect buffer from power source before
servicing and when changing wheels.
25. Use recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons.
26. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush
to remove chips or debris — do not use bare
hands.
27. Never leave the buffer running unattended. Turn
power off and do not leave machine until wheels
come to a complete stop.
28. Remove loose items and unnecessary work
pieces from the area before starting the buffer.

power tools in damp or wet location, or expose
them to rain. Don’t use this buffer in a flammable
environment. Keep work area well lighted.
30. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
31. Use the right tool. Don't force tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed.
