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 Operating Instructions and Parts
Manual as well as all labels affixed to the
machine. Failure to follow all of these warnings
can cause serious injuries.
3.1 Machinery General Safety 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 breakage of eye protection.
2. Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing or
jewelry which can get caught in moving
parts. Contain long hair. Rubber soled
footwear is recommended for best footing.
3. Do not overreach. Failure to maintain 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 guards in place and in proper working
order. Do not operate the machine with
guards removed.
5. Avoid dangerous working environments. Do
not use stationary machine tools in wet or
damp locations, or in an explosive
environment. Keep work areas clean and
well lit. Special electrics should be used
when working on flammable materials.
6. Avoid accidental starts by being sure the
start switch is “OFF” before plugging in the
machine.
7. Machinery must be anchored to the floor.
8. Never leave the machine running while
unattended. Machine shall be shut off
whenever it is not in operation.
9. Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
Whenever changing accessories or general
maintenance is done on the machine,
electrical power to the machine must be
disconnected before work is done.
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. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work, when practical. It is safer than using
your hands and it frees both hands to
operate the machine.
12. Never brush away chips while the machine
is in operation.
13. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite
accidents.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
before turning machine on.
15. Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
