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.

shoes, where the work activity presents a hazard
to the operator.

supply.

machine is in use. If removed for maintenance
purposes, use extreme caution and replace the
guards immediately after completion of
maintenance.
19. 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

should be properly repaired or replaced.

around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-
play” are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.

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.

pieces from the area before starting the buffer.
