IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Read and understand the entire instruction
manual before operating machine.

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.

WARNING – To reduce risk of injury:

a. Wear eye protection.
b. Do not remove jammed cut off pieces until

blade has stopped.

c. Maintain proper adjustment of blade

tension, blade guides, and thrust bearing.

d. Adjust upper guide to just clear workpiece.
e. Secure workpiece firmly against table.

1. 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.

2. Replace warning labels if they become

obscured or removed.

3. 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.

4. Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety

glasses or face shield while using this band
saw. (Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses; they are

not

safety glasses.)

5. 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.

6. Wear hearing protection (plugs or muffs) during

extended periods of operation.

7. Do not operate this machine while tired or under

the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.

8. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make

sure switch is in off position before plugging in.

9. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

10. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance

with the machine unplugged from the power
source.

11. 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.

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
completion of maintenance.

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. A guard or other part that is
damaged  should  be  properly  repaired  or
replaced.

14. Provide for adequate space surrounding work

area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

15. Keep work area clean. Keep floor around the

machine free of scrap material, oil and grease.
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

16. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work

area. Keep children away.

17. Make your workshop 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 into the blade or other moving
parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force
to perform any machine operation.
