- Always avoid using the machine in damp or poorly
lighted work areas.

to the floor or the work bench.
- Always keep the machine guards in place.
- Always put the start switch in the “OFF” position
before plugging in the machine.

Read and follow these simple rules for best results
and full benefits from your machine. Used properly,
JET machinery is among the best in design and

understand the Operator’s and Parts Manual as well
as all labels affixed to the machine. Failure in
following all of these warnings can cause serious
injuries.

General Machinery Warnings
1. Always wear protective eye wear when
operating machinery. Eye wear shall be impact
resistant, protective safety glasses with side
shields which comply with ANSI Z87.1
specifications. Use of eye wear which does not
comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could
result in severe injury from the breakage of the
eye protection.
2. Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing or
jewelry which can get caught in moving parts.
Rubber soled, nonslip, footwear is
recommended for best footing.
3. Do not overreach. Failure to maintain a proper
working position can cause you to fall into the
machine or cause your clothing to get caught
— pulling you into the machine.
4. Keep guards in place and in proper working
order. Do not operate the machine with the
guards removed.
5. Avoid dangerous working environments. Do
not use stationary machine tools in wet or
damp locations. Keep work areas clean and
well lit.
6. Avoid accidental starts by being sure that the
start switch is in the “OFF” position before
plugging in the machine.
7. Never leave the machine running while
unattended. The machine shall be shut off
whenever it is not being used.
8. Disconnect the electrical power before
servicing, whenever changing accessories or
when general maintenance is done on the
machine.
9. Maintain all machine tools with care. Follow all
maintenance instructions for lubricating and
the changing of accessories. No attempt shall
be made to modify or have makeshift repairs
done to the machine. This not only voids the
warranty but also renders the machine unsafe.
10. If there is any risk of tipping or sliding, the
machinery must be anchored to the floor.
11. Secure your work. Use clamps or a vise to
hold your work, when practical. It is safer than
using your hands and it frees both hands to
operate the machine.
12. Never brush chips away while the machine is
in operation.
13. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite
accidents.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before
turning the machine on.
