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 shrinker/stretcher 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
shrinker/stretcher, do not use it until proper
training and knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this machine 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 machine.
(Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.)
7. Before operating the machine, remove tie,
rings, watches, other jewelry, and roll sleeves
up past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing
and confine long hair.
8. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.
9. 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 after
completion of maintenance.
10. Do not over reach. Maintain a balanced stance
at all times, so that you do not fall or lean
against moving parts.
11. Use the right tool. Do not force a tool or
attachment to do a job that it was not designed
to do.
12. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and "horseplay" are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.
13. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area. Keep children away.
14. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
