IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – To reduce risk of injury:

1. Read and understand the entire owner's

manual before attempting assembly or
operation.

2. Read and understand the warnings posted on

the machine and in this manual. Failure to
comply with all of these warnings may cause
serious injury.

3. Replace the warning labels if they become

obscured or removed.

4. This planer 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  planer,  do  not  use  until
proper  training  and  knowledge  have  been
obtained.

5. Do not use this planer 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

shields while using this machine. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.

7. Before operating this planer, remove tie, rings,

watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up
past the elbows. Do not wear loose clothing.
Confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid
floor strips are recommended. Do not wear
gloves.

8. Kickback occurs when the workpiece is thrown

towards the operator at a high rate of speed. If
you do not have a clear understanding of
kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT operate
this machine!

9. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during

extended periods of operation.

10. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position

before connecting the machine to the power
supply.

11. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

12. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance

with the machine unplugged from the power
source.

13. 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.

14. 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
completion of maintenance.

15. 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.

16. Provide for adequate space surrounding work

area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

17. Keep the floor around the machine clean and

free of scrap material, oil and grease.

18. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work

area. Keep children away.

19. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,

master switches or by removing starter keys.

20. Give your work undivided attention. Looking

around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-
play” are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.

21. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that

you do not fall into the blade or other moving
parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force
to perform any machine operation.
