31.  Make  no  adjustments  except  speed  changes 

with  the  spindle  rotating,  and  always 
disconnect the machine from the power source 
when  performing  maintenance  to  avoid 
accidental starting or electrical shock. 

32.  Provide  for  adequate  space  surrounding  work 

area and non-glare, overhead lighting. 

33.  When  stopping  the  lathe,  never  grab  the 

workpiece or faceplate to slow it down. Let the 
work coast to a stop. 

34.  Use  only  JET  factory  authorized  replacement 

parts and accessories; otherwise, the warranty 
and guarantee are null and void. 

35.  Use  proper  extension  cord.  Make  sure  your 

extension  cord  is  in  good  condition.  When 
using  an  extension  cord,  be  sure  to  use  one 
heavy enough to carry the current your product 
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop 
in  line  voltage  resulting  in  loss  of  power  and 
overheating. Table 1 

(sect. 6.3)

 shows correct 

size  to  use  depending  on  cord  length  and 
nameplate  ampere  rating.  If  in  doubt,  use  the 
next  heavier  gage.  The  smaller  the  gage 
number, the heavier the cord.
