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 lat he is designed and intended f or use by
properly trained and experienced personnel
only. If you ar e not fa miliar w ith the p r o per a nd
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. Do not turn materials other than wood on
this lathe. If used for other purposes, JET
disclaims any real or implied warranty and
hold s itself harmles s from a ny injury t hat 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 safet y glasse s.
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 recom mended. Do not
wear gloves.
8. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contain 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, cement and
other masonry products.
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure 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 face or dust masks
that are specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
9. Do not operate this machine while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
10. Make c ertain the switch is in t he 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 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
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 w ith padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
20. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horseplay” 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 spindle or other moving
parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force
to perform any machine operation.
22. 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 be tter and more safely.
23. Use recommended accessories; improper
accessories may be hazardous.
24. Maintain tools with care. Keep turning c hisels
sharp and clean for the best and safest

job at hand. Start at low speed and allow the
Lathe to ramp up to operating speed.
33. Never apply coolants or water to a spinning
workpiece.
34. Never stop a rotating workpiece with your
hand.
29. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t

7.2 Mounting lathe to stand/table
For effective and safe operation, t he lathe must be
mounted to the optional stand (see section 14.0) or
a work table, using the four threaded holes in its
base (5/16-18 UNC threads). See section 6.1 for
correct spacing of the holes to be drilled in the
worktable.
7.3 Installing/removing face plate
Refer to Figure 4.
1. Insert knockout rod (C) into hole in spindle
collar (G) and hold it steady.
2. Mount face plate (F) to workpiece ( see section
11.4), and screw face plate clockwise onto
spindle threads as far as it will go.
3. Use same procedure to remove faceplate,
screwing it counterclockwise off the spindle.
Figure 3
Tools required for assembly:
3/16” hex key (“Allen” wrench)
Exposed metal areas of the lathe, such as bed,
spindle and quill, have been f actory coated with a
protectant. This should be removed with a soft
cloth and a cleaner-degreaser. Clean the bed
areas under the headstock, tailstock and tool
support base. Do not use an abra sive pad, and do
not allow solvents to contact painted or plastic
areas.
Figure 4
7.4 Installing/removing spur center
Refer to Figure 5.
1. Make sure mating surfaces of spur center and
spindle are clean.
2. Drive spur center into workpiece (see section
11.3.1).
3. Push spur center into spindle. NOTE: You do
not need to remove faceplate to install spur
center.
Figure 5

To remove spur center (Figure 6):
Hold spur center to prevent it falling. (Use a rag to
protect your hand from the sharp edges). Insert
knockout rod through spindle hole and tap out spur
center.
Figure 6
7.5 Installing/removing live center
Refer to Figure 7.
The live center rotates with the workpiece and is
installed in the tailstock.
1. Rotate tailstock handwheel clockwise a few
times to advance quill.
2. Push live center into quill.
To remove live center:
3. Hold on to live center to prevent it from falling.
4. Rotate handwheel counterclockwise to retract
quill, until center releases from quill.

8.1 Grounding instructions
1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce t he risk of electr ic 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
cond uctor with i nsulation ha ving 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 equipmentgrounding 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. Failure to comply
may cause serious or fatal injury.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:

8.0 Electrical connections
The JWL-1015/JWL-1015VS JET lathe is rated f or
115 volt operation. It is supplied with a plug
designed for use on a circuit with a grounded outlet
that looks like the one pictured in A, Figure 8.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in off position.
It is recommended that the lathe be connected to a
dedicated 10 amp circuit with a circ uit breaker or
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure
8. An adapter, shown in B and C, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
in B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only unt il a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. This adapter is not permitted in Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and
the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box.
