3.0 Safety warnings

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 us e 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 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 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 certai n 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.

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 b etter an d 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 performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

27. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.

28. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.

31. Adjust tool rest to proper height and position for the work. Rotate the workpiece by hand to check clearance with the tool rest before turning on the machine.

32. Select the appropriate speed for the turning 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 use power tools in damp or wet location, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

30. Check the workpiece carefully for sp lits, knots or other obstructions which may cause a safety risk while turning.
