WARNING

Wear eye protection.

Always keep guards in place and in proper operating condition. Do not operate the machine without the guards for any reason.

This disc/belt sander is intended to be used with wood and wood products only. Use of this disc/belt sander and a dust collector with metal products is a potential fire hazard.

Support the workpiece adequately at all times during operation; maintain control of the work at all times.

This disc/belt sander 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 disc/belt sander , do not use until proper training and knowledge has been obtained.

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.

KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

DON’T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.

MAKE THE WORKSHOP KIDPROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

DON’T FORCE THE MACHINE. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

USE THE 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 machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and overheating. The table following shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust masks if the cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

3

ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING.

REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of accessories and attachments not recommended by JET may cause hazards or risk of injury to persons.

NEVER STAND ON A MACHINE. Serious injury could occur if the machine is tipped.

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.

NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.

SOME DUST CREATED by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

Lead from lead based paint

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from those exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles

DO NOT operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

AVOID kickback by sanding in accordance with directional arrows. Sand on downward side of disc. Sanding on the upward side could cause the workpiece to fly up causing injury.

SAND with the grain of the wood.

DO NOT sand pieces of material that are too small to be safely supported.

WHEN sanding a large workpiece, provide additional support at table height.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of this product is available from the the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201, in the Accident Prevention Manual for Industrial Operations and also in the safety Data Sheets provided by the NSC. Please also refer to the American National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety Requirements for Woodworking Machinery and the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS refer to them often and use them to instruct others.

Grounding Instructions

Caution: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

115 Volt Operation

As received from the factory, your sander is ready to run at 115 volt operation. This sander, when wired for 115 volt, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one illustrated in (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter as illustrated in (B), may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in (B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in (B).

Assembly

CAUTION

Machine is heavy! Use care when lifting out of the shipping carton and moving to a final location. Stand or bench must be stable enough to support weight of machine.

1.Move the sander to a workbench or one of JET’s optional stands. Bolt the unit firmly to hold in place.

JET’s closed stand uses four 3/8”x2-1/2” hex cap bolts, four 3/8” lock washers and four 3/8” flat washers provided with the stand.

JET’s open stand uses four 3/8”x3” hex cap bolts, four 3/8” lock washers and eight 3/8” flat washers, and four hex nuts provided with the stand.

2.Mount the sanding disc table assembly (A, Fig. 1) to the sander base. Insert the rod (B, Fig. 1) into the base and secure in place using the 5/16” handle (C, Fig. 1). The handle should tighten against the flat portion of the rod.

3.Mount the sanding belt table (A, Fig. 2) to the sander with two 5/16”x1-1/4” locking handles (B, Fig. 2), two 5/16” flat washers. The handle stud needs to go through the upper slot, and the guide pin (C, Fig. 2 & Figure 3) located on the sander should rest in the lower slot.

Note: The belt table can be removed and the disc table can be used in its place. There are two holes in the base, below the sanding belt, that will accommodate the disc table’s support rod and locking handle.
