1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic
precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
THIS DUST COLLECTOR.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury:
1. Read and understand entire owner’s manual
before attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on
the machine and in this manual.
3. Replace warning labels if they become
obscured or removed.
4. This dust collector 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 dust collector,
do not use until proper training and knowledge
have been obtained.
5. Do not use this dust collector 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.
6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face
shield while using this dust collector. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.
7. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts
of body away from openings and moving parts.
8. Wear hearing protection (plugs or muffs)
during extended periods of operation.
9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead based paint.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and
other masonry products.
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a
well-ventilated area and work with approved
safety equipment, such as face or dust masks
that are specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
10. Do not operate this machine while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
11. Make certain the switch is in the
OFF
position
before connecting the machine to the power
supply. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
12. Make certain the machine is properly
grounded. Connect to a properly grounded
outlet only. See Grounding instructions.
13. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance
with the machine unplugged from the power
source.
14. 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.
15. 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
maintenance is complete.
16. 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.
17. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
18. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.
19. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area.
Keep children away.
20. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
21. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-
play” are careless acts that can result in
serious injury.
22. The dust collector is intended for indoor use.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use
outdoors or on wet surfaces.
23. Do not use this dust collector for anything
except wood dust. Materials such as liquids,
metal shavings, metal dust, screws, glass,
plastic or rock can cause sparks and/or
damage when coming into contact with any
part of the dust collector.
