Safety warnings
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 warning labels if they become
obscured or removed.

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 use the grinder’s eye shields. In
addition, wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety
glasses, or a face shield. (
Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;
they are NOT safety glasses.)

Before operating grinder, remove tie, rings,
watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up
past elbows. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing.
Confine long hair.

Wear protective clothing such as apron or
safety shoes, where the grinding activity
presents a hazard to the operator.
8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) if the
particular work requires it.

under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.

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. 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.

). Do
not use a faulty or damaged wheel.
29. Verify that maximum RPM of abrasive wheels
is compatible with speed of grinder.
30. Allow abrasive wheels to reach full RPM
before starting the grinding operation.
