1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS
MACHINE.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of
injury:
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 box and pan brake 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
brake, do not use until proper training and
knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this brake 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 ANSI Z87.1 approved safety
glasses or face shield while using this brake.
(Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.)
7. Before operating this machine, remove tie,
rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll
sleeves up past the elbows. Do not wear loose
clothing. Confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or
anti-skid floor strips are recommended.
8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) if noise
reaches unsafe levels.
9. 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 wellventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as face or dust masks that are
specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
10. Do not operate this machine while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
15. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.
16. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area. Keep children away.
17. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
18. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horseplay” are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.
19. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that
you do not fall into the blade or other moving
parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force
to perform any machine operation.
20. Use recommended accessories; improper
accessories may be hazardous.
21. Maintain tools with care. Keep blades sharp and
clean for the best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
