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.
