31. 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.
32. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
33. When stopping the lathe, never grab the
workpiece or faceplate to slow it down. Let the
work coast to a stop.
34. Use only JET factory authorized replacement
parts and accessories; otherwise, the warranty
and guarantee are null and void.
35. 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.
