1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic
precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS
DUST COLLECTOR.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or 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. Do not use this metal dust collector 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.
5. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position
before connecting the machine to the power
supply.
6. Wear approved safety glasses/face shields while
using and cleaning this machine. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.
7. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during
extended periods of operation.
8. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
9. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance
with the machine unplugged from the power
source.
10. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the machine before
turning it on.
11. 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.
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. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
14. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free
of scrap material, oil and grease.
15. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area.
Keep children away.
16. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
17. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-
play” are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.
18. 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.
19. Use recommended accessories; improper
accessories may be hazardous.
20. Maintain tools with care. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
21. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush
or vacuum to remove chips or debris — do not use
bare hands.
22. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could
occur if the machine tips over.
23. Never leave the machine running unattended.
Turn the power off and do not leave the machine
until it comes to a complete stop.
24. Remove loose items and unnecessary work
pieces from the area before starting the machine.
25. Do not use this machine in damp or wet locations,
or expose it to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
26. Do not use this dust collector to pick up flammable
or combustible liquids, and do not use it in
explosive environments.
27. Do not use the dust collector to dissipate fumes
or smoke. Never pick up anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot
ashes.
28. Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the inlet
ports. Keep hair, loose clothing, and all body parts
away from openings and moving parts of the dust
collector.
29. Do not unplug the machine by pulling on the power
cord – grasp the plug, not the cord.
30. Do not pull the machine by the power cord, or
allow the power cord to contact sharp edges or hot
surfaces. Replace a damaged cord immediately.
31. Never mix ferrous and non-ferrous metal dust in
the same dust collector. If you are not familiar with
the proper and safe usage of metal dust collection
systems do not use until proper training has been
obtained.
