1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read and understand 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 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 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. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the brake.
7. Always wear approved safety glasses/face
shields while using this machine. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.
8. Before operating this brake, remove tie, rings,
watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up
past the elbows. Do not wear loose clothing,
and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or
anti-skid floor strips are recommended.
9. Do not operate this machine while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
10. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the
machine before using.
11. Sheet metal stock has sharp edges. Use
leather gloves when handling.
12. Keep hands and fingers clear of area in front
and rear of brake.
13. This box and pan brake should be secured to
the floor to prevent tipping.
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
maintenance is complete.
15. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
16. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.
17. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area. Keep children away.
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 or lean against moving parts.
Do not overreach or use excessive force to
perform any machine operation.
20. 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 better and more safely.
21. Do not stand on machine. Serious injury could
occur if machine tips over.
