1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY
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 the warning labels if they become
obscured or removed.
4. This band 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 band saw, do not use until
proper training and knowledge have been
obtained.
5. Do not use this band 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.
6. Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety
glasses or face shield while using this drill
press. (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. Do not wear loose
clothing. 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. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contain chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead based paint.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and
other masonry products.
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-
ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as face or dust masks that are
specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
10. Do not operate this machine while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
11. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position
before connecting the machine to the power
supply.
12. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
13. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance
with the machine unplugged from the power
source.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. Make sure the drill press is firmly secured to the
floor or bench before use.
17. 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.
18. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
19. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.
20. Don't use in dangerous environment. Don't use
power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose
them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
21. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area. Keep children away.
22. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
23. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-
play” are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.
24. 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.
