1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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 the warning labels if they become
obscured or removed.
4. This machine 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 milling machines, do not use
until proper training and knowledge have been
obtained.
5. Do not use this milling machine 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 approved safety glasses/face
shields while using this machine. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.
7. Before operating this machine, 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.
8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during
extended periods of operation.
9. Do not operate this machine while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
10. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position
before connecting the machine to the power
supply.
11. Make certain the machine is properly
grounded.
12. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance
with the machine unplugged from the power
source.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. Keep hands away from all moving parts (belts,
cutters, gears, etc.)
16. 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.
17. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
18. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.
19. Some coolants used for machining contain
chemicals that may be hazardous to your
health if not use properly. Read and
understand all user information listed on the
coolant container and protect yourself
accordingly.
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. 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.
24. Use the right tool at the correct speed and
feed rate. Rotate spindle clockwise for right-
hand tools, counterclockwise for left-hand
tools. 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 more safely.
25. Use recommended accessories; improper
accessories may be hazardous.
26. Frequently clean this machine. Maintain tools
with care. Keep cutters sharp and clean for the
best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
27. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a
brush to remove chips or debris — do not use
bare hands.
