3.0 Safety warnings

1. Read and understand the entire owner’s manual before attempting assembly or operation.

2. This wood lathe 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 wood lathe, do not use it until the proper training and knowledge have been obtained.

3. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this machine.

4. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

5. Before operating the machine, remove tie, rings, watches, other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Do not wear gloves.

6. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.

7. 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.

8. Do not over reach. Maintain a balanced stance at all times, so that you do not fall or lean against rotating parts.

9. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.

10. Use the right tool. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job that it was not designed to do.

11. Replace warning labels if they become obscured or removed.

12. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.

13. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and "horseplay" are careless acts that can result in serious injury.

14. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area.

15. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.

16. Read and understand warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of these warnings may cause serious injury.

17. Do not operate this lathe while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

18. Keep tools sharp and clean for safe and best performance. Dull tools can grab in the workpiece and be jerked from the operator's hands, causing serious injury.

19. Check the condition of the stock to be turned. Make sure it is free of knots, warpage, checked ends, improperly made or cured glue joints and other conditions which can cause it to be thrown out of the lathe.

20. Securely fasten spur and live centers to the material being used.

21. Check centers and tapers in the headstock and tailstock to be sure they are free of dirt or rust, and oil lightly before inserting centers.

22. Test each set-up by revolving the workpiece by hand to ensure it clears the tool rest and bed. Check the setup at the lowest speed before increasing to operating speed.

23. Use the correct cutting tool for the operation to be performed and keep all tools sharp.

24. Use low speeds for roughing and for long or large diameter work. If vibration occurs, stop the machine and correct the cause.

25. When sanding, remove the tool rest from the machine, apply light pressure and use a slow speed to avoid heat buildup.

26. When turning large diameter pieces, such as bowls, always operate the lathe at low speeds. See the speed recommendation chart in sect.

14.1.

27. Do not attempt to engage the spindle lock pin until the spindle has stopped. If leaving the machine area, turn lathe off and wait until the spindle stops before departing.

28. Make no adjustments except speed changes with the spindle rotating, and always disconnect the machine from the power source when performing maintenance to avoid accidental starting or electrical shock.

29. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

30. When stopping the lathe, never grab the part or faceplate to slow it down. Let the work coast to a stop.

31. Use only JET factory authorized replacement parts and accessories; otherwise, the warranty and guarantee are null and void.

32. Do not use this JET wood lathe for other than its intended purpose. 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.

1. If you desire to install the riser blocks for a 4” height increase, mount them to bottom of legs using fasteners (HP006/5/7) Tighten firmly.

2. Install adjustable feet into bottom of legs or riser blocks (Figure 4) and tighten hex nut against leg casting. The feet can be adjusted later.

Figure 4: riser blocks and feet

Lathe is heavy – use caution

during leg installment procedures. Use straps in good condition. Straps/lifting mechanisms must be properly rated for lathe weight.

6.4.1 Hoist lifting method

1. Position straps around lathe bed. IMPORTANT: Do not place straps around spindle, near levers, knobs or other parts that can be damaged when lifting.

2. Position lathe onto legs and secure with screws and washers (HP001/2/3, Figure 5) using 6mm hex key.

3. Tighten screws firmly.

Figure 5: installing legs

6.4.2 Manual lifting method

Use help from an assistant for

the following procedures.

1. Unscrew stud (see N, Figure 6) from each end of bed. (Note: studs can be stored in one of the threaded holes in lathe legs.)

2. Remove headstock, tailstock and tool rest support from bed. (Refer to sect. 8.0 for detailed instructions on adjusting and removing these items.)

3. Carefully turn bed upside down. Place a mat or cardboard beneath it to prevent scratching the bed ways.

4. Install legs with screws and washers (HP001/2/3, Figure 5) using 6mm hex key. Tighten screws firmly.

5. Raise bed and leg assembly right-side up.

6. Rotate adjustable feet (Figure 4) as needed to establish level for the lathe. Tighten hex nut on each foot against leg casting.

7.0 Electrical connections

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.

The JWL-1440VS Lathe is rated at 115/230V power, and is pre-wired for 115 volt. The lathe comes with a plug designed for use on a circuit with a grounded outlet that looks similar to the one pictured in A, Figure 8.

Before connecting to power source, be sure switch is in off position.

It is recommended that the lathe, when operated on 115 volt power, be connected to a dedicated 20 amp circuit with a 20 amp circuit breaker or timedelay fuse marked “D”. When operated on 230 volt power, it is recommended that the lathe be connected to a dedicated 15 amp circuit with a 15 amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse marked “D”.

Local codes take precedence over recommendations.

7.1 Grounding instructions

1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:

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 equipment-grounding 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. Failure to comply may cause serious or fatal injury.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use

on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure

8. An adapter, shown in B and C, may be used to

connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not permitted in Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use

on a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150 - 250 volts, inclusive:

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in D, Figure

8. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the

plug illustrated in D. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.
