obscured or removed.
4. This electric sheet metal notcher 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

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.

the machine is in use. If removed for
maintenance purposes, use extreme caution
and replace the guards immediately upon
completion of maintenance.
13. 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

mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.

habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
