IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the 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.  Replace  warning  labels  if  they
become obscured or removed.

3. This turret mill 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 turret mill do not use until
proper training and knowledge have been
obtained.

4. Do not use this turret mill 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.

5. Always wear approved safety glasses/face

shields while using this turret mill. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.

6. Before operating this turret mill, remove tie,

rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll
sleeves up past the elbows. Do not wear loose
clothing. Confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or
anti-skid floor strips are recommended. Do not
wear gloves.

7. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during

extended periods of operation.

8. Do not operate this machine while tired or under

the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.

9. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position

before connecting the machine to the power
supply.

10. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

11. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance

with the machine unplugged from the power
source.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. Do not use power tools in damp/wet locations

or other dangerous environments. Provide for
adequate space surrounding work area and
non-glare, overhead lighting.

16. Keep the floor around the machine clean and

free of scrap material, oil and grease.

17. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work

area. Keep children away. Workshop should be
child proof with padlocks, master switches or by
removing starter keys.

18. Give your work undivided attention. Looking

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

19. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that

you do not fall against cutters or other moving
parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force
to perform any machine operation.

20. 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 more safely.
