1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To reduce 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 warning labels if they become
obscured or removed.
4. This sheet metal notcher 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
sheet metal notcher, do not use it until proper
training and knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this notcher for purposes 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 machine.
(Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.)
7. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) if noise
exceeds safe levels.
8. Wear appropriate footwear, s uch as steel-toed
shoes, when working with metal materials.
9. Before operating the machine, remove tie,
rings, watches, other jewelry, and roll sleeves
up past the elbows. Do not wear loose clothing.
Confine long hair.
10. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.
11. Keep machine 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 upon
completion of maintenance.
12. 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.
13. Use the right tool. Do not force a tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the machine
before operating.
15. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and "horseplay" are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.
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. Do not overreach. Failure to maintain proper
working position can cause you to fall into the
machine or allow clothing to get caught, pulling
you into the machine.
19. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.
20. Use recommended accessories; improper
accessories may be hazardous.
