3.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 lathe 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 lathe, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this lathe 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 lathe. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
7. Before operating this lathe, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past the elbows. Remove
all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are recommended. Do not wear
gloves.
8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.
9. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
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 maintenance is complete.
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. Do not use power tools in damp/wet locations or other dangerous environments. Do not expose them to rain. Keep
work area well lighted. 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 or lean against moving parts. Do not overreach or use
excessive force to perform any machine operation. Never force the cutting action.
22. Do not operate the lathe in flammable or explosive environments. Do not use in a damp environment or expose to
rain.
23. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed. The right tool will do the job better and more safely.
