1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – To reduce 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 warning labels if they become obscured or removed.

4. This lockformer 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 lockformer, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.

5. Do not use this machine 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 machine. (Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.)

7. Before operating this machine, 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. Do not wear gloves.

8. Wear hearing protection (plugs or muffs) if noise exceeds safe levels.

9. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

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

11. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

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

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.

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

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

18. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.

19. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

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

21. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall onto moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.

22. 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.

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

24. Maintain tools with care. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

25. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush to remove chips or debris — do not use bare hands.

26. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.

27. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.

28. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.

29. Disconnect machine from power source (unplug) before changing out roll sets.

30. Top covers must be properly installed before feeding workpiece.

31. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet location, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

32. Use 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 product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 (sect. 6.2) shows correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

6.0 Electrical connections

All electrical connections must be done by a qualified electrician in compliance with all local codes and ordinances. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.

The LF-20 Lockformer is rated at 115-volt power only, and is supplied with a plug designed for use on a circuit with a grounded outlet that looks like the one pictured in Figure 6-1.

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

It is recommended that the Lockformer be connected to a dedicated 15 amp circuit with circuit breaker or fuse. If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use time delay fuse marked “D”. Local

codes take precedence over recommendations.

6.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This machine must be grounded. 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.

This machine is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure 6-1. A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketch B may be used to connect this plug to a 2pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1.
