Warning
Wear eye protection.
Always keep guards in place and in proper operating condition. Do not operate the machine without the
guards for any reason.
This disc/belt sander is intended to be used with wood and wood products only. Use of this disc/belt
sander and a dust collector with metal products is a potential fire hazard.
Support the workpiece adequately at all times during operation; maintain control of the work at all
times.
This disc/belt sander 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 disc/belt sander, do
not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.
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.
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
DON’T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations,
or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
MAKE THE WORKSHOP KIDPROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
DON’T FORCE THE MACHINE. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and
overheating. The table following shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
Volts Total Length of Cord in Feet
120V 25 50 100 150
AWG
16 16 14 12
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust masks if the cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING.
REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the off position
before plugging in.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of accessories and attachments not
recommended by JET may cause hazards or risk of injury to persons.
NEVER STAND ON A MACHINE. Serious injury could occur if the machine is tipped.
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.
NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave the
machine until it comes to a complete stop.
DO NOT operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
AVOID kickback by sanding in accordance with directional arrows. Sand on downward side of disc.
Sanding on the upward side could cause the workpiece to fly up causing injury.
SAND with the grain of the wood.
DO NOT sand pieces of material that are too small to be safely supported.
WHEN sanding a large workpiece, provide additional support at table height.

from the the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201, in the Accident
Prevention Manual for Industrial Operations and also in the safety Data Sheets provided by the NSC.
Please also refer to the American National Standards Institute

Grounding Instructions
Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all
relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible
fatal injury.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipmentgrounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only three wire extension cords that
have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
115 Volt Operation
As received from the factory, your sander is ready to run at 115 volt operation. This sander, when wired for 115
volt, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one illustrated in (A). A
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter as illustrated in (B), may be used to connect this plug to a twopole receptacle, as shown in (B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should
only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not
applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter, must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in (B).
