SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
These instructions are intended to
familiarize all personnel with the safe operation
and maintenance procedures for the JM-1000.
Electric shock resulting in death can
occur if you plug this machine into an
improperly wired outlet. If the ground
wire is electrified, you can be electrocuted by just touching the machine,
even when the power switch is off. A
ground fault circuit interrupter will not
protect you in this situation. Use a UL
approved tester to determine if the outlet
is safe.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust of fumes.
Do not spray flammable liquids. Risk
of explosion. Flammable liquids can create fumes which can ignite causing property damage or severe injury.
SAFETY SYMBOLS
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used
to alert you to potential personal injury
DANGER indicates a hazard with a high level of risk which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazard with a medium level of risk which, if
not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
hazards. Obey all safety messages that
follow this symbol to avoid possible
injury or death.
Do not direct discharge stream at people. This equipment can produce a high
pressure stream of fluid that can pierce
skin and its underlying tissues, leading to
serious injury and possible amputation or
death.
Always wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-slip shoes. High pres-
sure spray can cause paint chips or
other particles to become airborne
and fly at high speeds. Use of this
safety equipment may prevent serious
injury.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or
serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. All installations must comply with local codes. Contact your
electrician, plumber, utility company or the selling distributor for
specific details. To comply with the National Electrical code (NFPA
70) and provide additional protection from risk of electric shock,
the machines are equipped with a UL approved ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) power cord.
2. Risk of explosion. Do not spray flammable liquids or operate
in an area where flammable or explosive materials are used
or stored. Power tools create sparks which may ignite dust and
fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating
machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should electrically malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. When operating a power tool outside use an outdoor exten-
sion cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
5. Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) provided with
the power cord to insure it is operating correctly before operating machine. Machine must have a properly functioning ground
fault circuit interrupter on the power cord. GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
6. Extension cords are not recommended unless they are
plugged into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) found
in circuit boxes or outlet receptacles. The GFCI on the ma-
chine power cord will not prevent electric shock from the extension
cords.
7. Only use proper three-wire extension cords in good condition
of no more than 50 ft. in length which have three-prong
grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles which accept the
tools plug. Use of damaged, inferior, or other extension cords will
not ground the tool, increases the risk of damage to the machine,
electric shock, bodily injury or death.
8. Keep all electric connections dry and off the ground. Reduces
the risk of electric shock.
9. DO NOT touch plugs or tools with wet hands. Reduces the risk
of electric shock.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI)
Your machine is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter, which
protects you against shock if a short circuit should occur. Check that
receptacle is properly grounded. Test the GFCI before each use.
1. Plug into 120-volt receptacle.
2. Push test button. Indicator light will go out and power to machine
should cut off.
3. If light does not go out when test button is pushed, DO NOT USE
THE MACHINE until proper repairs can be made.
4. To restore power after test, push reset button. With the reset button depressed, if the machine doesn't start, stops while running, or
if the operator experiences a mild shock, DO NOT USE THE MA-
CHINE! Tag the machine out of service and take it to a motor
repair center or return it to the factory for repairs.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. High pressure developed by jet machines will cause personal
injury. Water spray should not be pointed at any person. High
pressure spray can result in serious injury. If fluid seems to have
penetrated the skin, seek emergency medical attention at once.
2. Grip jet hose securely with both hands before starting the
machine. Failure to do so could result in injury from a whipping
hose.
3. Always wear eye protection and rubber gloves. Safety equipment, eye safety devices, non-skid safety shoes and protective
clothing must be worn when using this equipment.
4. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A mo-
ment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
5. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Con-
tain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must only be performed by qualified service
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by untrained per-
sonnel could result in injury and damage to the equipment.
2. When servicing tool, use only identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may cause injury or damage to equipment.
JET SAFETY
1. Clean nozzles before each use.
2. Flush water supply hose to clear debris before connecting to
jet.
3. Flush jet hose to clear debris before attaching nozzle.
4. Do not use hot water. Run only cool water through pump. Do
not operate jet above rate pressure or above 90°F (32°C)
Operating jet above rate specifications risks damage to the pump
and related components, and will void the warranty.
