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 belt grinder 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 belt grinder, do
not use until proper training and knowledge
have been obtained.
5. Do not use this machine 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 belt grinder. (Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.) Eye wear shall be
impact resistant, protective safety glasses with
side shields which comply with ANSI Z87.1
specifications.
7. Before operating this belt grinder, remove tie,
rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll
sleeves up past the elbows. Do not wear loose
clothing, and confine long hair. Non-slip
footwear or anti-skid floor strips are
recommended. Do not wear gloves or hold the
work with a rag when grinding.
8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during
extended periods of operation.

under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any

connecting machine to power supply.
11. Make certain machine is properly grounded.
12. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance
with machine unplugged from 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
machine is in use. If removed for maintenance
purposes, use extreme caution and replace
the guards immediately after maintenance is
complete.
15. The belt grinder should be secured to the floor
before using.
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.

area. Keep children away.
20. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.

serious injury.
22. 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.
23. Use the right tool at the correct speed and

do a job for which it was not designed. The
right tool will do the job better and more safely.

accessories may be hazardous.
25. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean for the best and safest

your hands.
27. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury
could occur if the machine tips over.

Turn power off and do not leave machine until
it comes to a complete stop.
