JET machinery is among the best in design and 
safety. However, any machine used improperly can 
be rendered inefficient and unsafe. It is absolutely 
mandatory that those who use our products be 
properly trained in how to use them correctly. They 
should read and understand the Operating 
Instructions and Parts Manual as well as all labels 
affixed to the machine. Failure to follow all of these 
warnings can cause serious injuries.

1.1

  Machinery general safety 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 breakage of eye 
protection. 

2.  Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing or 

jewelry which can get caught in moving parts. 
Rubber soled footwear is recommended for 
best footing. 

3.  Do not overreach. Failure to maintain 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 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 the start 

switch is “OFF” before plugging in the machine. 

7. Never leave the machine running while 

unattended. Machine shall be shut off whenever 
it is not in operation. 

8.  Disconnect electrical power before servicing. 

Whenever changing accessories or general 
maintenance is done on the machine, electrical 
power to the machine must be disconnected 
before work is done. 

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.  Machinery must be anchored to the floor. 

11.  Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work, 

when practical. It is safer than using your hands 
and it frees both hands to operate the machine. 

12.  Never brush away chips while the machine is in 

operation. 

13. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite 

accidents. 

14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before 

turning machine on. 

15. Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or 

attachment to do a job for which it was not 
designed. 

16.  Use only recommended accessories and follow 

manufacturer’s instructions pertaining to them.
