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 pneumatic shear 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
shear, do not use until proper training and
knowledge have been obtained.
4. Do not use this 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.
5.
Always wear ANSI approved safety
glasses/face shields while using this shear.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
6. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair. Non-slip
footwear or anti-skid floor strips are
recommended.
7. Do not operate this machine while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
8. Do not exceed the rated capacity of this shear;
use hand tools for small or narrow parts. Do
not attempt to shear hardened materials.

prevent cuts, use leather work gloves when
handling.
10. Keep hands and fingers
clear of the area in
front and rear of the shear
.
11. Do not place your hands between material
being sheared and the shear table.
12. 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
maintenance is complete.
13. 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.

you do not fall or lean against moving parts.
Do not overreach or use excessive force to
perform any machine operation.
20. Use the right tool at the correct speed and
