1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS
FOOT SHEAR.
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 foot shear 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 foot shear, do not use until
proper training and knowledge have been
obtained.
5. Do not use this foot shear 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 foot
shear. (Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.)
7. Before operating the foot shear, 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. Do not operate this machine while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
13. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.
14. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area. Keep children away.
15. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
16. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horseplay” are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.
17. 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.
18. Use recommended accessories; improper
accessories may be hazardous.
19. Maintain tools with care. Keep blades sharp and
clean for the best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
20. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury
could occur if the machine tips over.
21. Remove loose items and unnecessary work
pieces from the area before operating the
machine.
22. Keep hold-down clearance to table as small as
possible while allowing just enough room to
feed stock.
23. Do not cut rods with the foot shear.
24. Sheet metal stock has sharp edges; use caution
when handling to prevent cuts.
25. Keep hands and fingers c lear of the blade and
hold-down area. Do not place hands or fingers
between material and table when operating.
26. Do not exceed rated capacity of the foot shear.
27. Do not exceed front gauge capacity – material
must not be so long that it interferes in any way
with safe operation of the foot pedal.
