3.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read and understand the entire owner's
manual before attempting assembly or
operation.

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.

Replace the warning labels if they become
obscured or removed.

The cold saw 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 cold saw,
do not use until proper training and
knowledge have been obtained.

Do not use this cold saw 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.

Always wear approved safety glasses/face
shields while using this cold saw. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses; they are not safety glasses.

Before operating the cold saw, remove tie,
rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll
sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all
loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-
slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are
recommended. Do
not wear gloves.

Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during
extended periods of operation.

Do not operate this machine while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.

Make certain the switch is in the OFF
position before connecting the machine to
the power supply.

Make certain the machine is properly
grounded.

Make all machine adjustments or
maintenance with the machine unplugged
from the power source.

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.

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.

Make sure the cold saw is firmly placed on a
secure foundation.

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.

Provide for adequate space surrounding
work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

Keep the floor around the machine clean
and free of scrap material, oil and grease.

Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area. Keep children away.

Make your workshop child proof with
padlocks, master switches or by removing
starter keys.

Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and
“horse-play” are careless acts that can result
in serious injury.

Maintain a balanced stance at all times so
that you do not fall into the blade or other
moving parts. Do not overreach or use
excessive force to perform any machine
operation.

Use the right tool at the correct speed and
feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment
to do a job for which it was not designed.
The right tool will do the job better and safer.

Use recommended accessories; improper
accessories may be hazardous.

Maintain tools with care. Keep saw blades
sharp and clean for the best and safest
performance.
Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.

Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a
brush or compressed air to remove chips or
debris — do not use your hands.
