30. When sanding, remove the tool rest from the 

machine, apply light pressure and use a slow 
speed to avoid heat buildup. 

31. When turning large diameter pieces, such as 

bowls, always operate the lathe at low speeds. 
See speed recommendation chart in 

sect. 

12.0.

32.  Do not attempt to engage the spindle lock pin 

until the spindle has stopped. If leaving the 
machine area, turn lathe off and wait until the 
spindle stops rotating before departing. 

33. 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. 

34. Provide for adequate space surrounding work 

area and non-glare, overhead lighting. 

35. When stopping the lathe, never grab the 

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

36. Use only JET factory authorized replacement 

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

37. 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. 6.2)

 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.
