1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE.
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 the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
4. This table saw 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 table saw, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this table saw 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 approved safety glasses or face shield while using this table saw. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
7. Before operating this table saw, 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 ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.
9. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
10. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
must not be used until maintenance is complete.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Check the alignment of the riving knife, fence and miter slot to the blade. A caution decal is installed on each guard to remind the operator of the dangers of improper machine operation.
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 safety keys.
20. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are careless acts that can result in serious injury.
21. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the blade or other 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 safer.
11. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source. A machine under repair should be RED TAGGED to show it
23. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.

24. Maintain tools with care. Keep blade sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
25. Check the saw blade for cracks or missing teeth. Do not use a cracked or dull blade or one with missing teeth or improper set. Make sure the blade is securely locked on the arbor.
26. Keep hands clear of the blade area. Do not reach past the blade to clear parts or scrap with the saw blade running. Never saw freehand. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to contact the blade.
27. Do not attempt to saw boards with loose knots or with nails or other foreign material, on its surface. Do not attempt to saw twisted, warped or bowed stock unless one edge has been jointed for guiding purposes prior to sawing. Excessively warped stock should not be used.
28. Do not attempt to saw long or wide boards unsupported where spring or weight could cause the board to shift position.
29. Always use the riving knife, blade guard, push stick and other safety devices for all operations where they can be used. On operations such as dadoing or molding where the blade guard cannot be used, use feather boards, fixtures and other safety devices and use extreme caution. Reinstall the riving knife and blade guard immediately after completing the operation that required their removal.
30. Be sure the saw blade rotates clockwise when viewed from the motor side (left side) of the machine.
31. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove chips or debris — do not use bare hands.
32. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.
33. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.
34. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.
35. Blade should have minimum exposure during cuts. Adjust blade to approximately 1/8” inch above surface of workpiece.

1.1 Kickback
The most common accidents among table saw users, according to statistics, can be linked to kickback, the high-speed expulsion of material from the table that can strike the operator. Kickback can also result in the operator’s hands being pulled into the blade.
Kickback Prevention
Tips to avoid the most common causes of kickback:
Make sure the riving knife is always aligned
with the blade. A workpiece can bind or stop the flow of the cut if the riving knife is misaligned, and result in kickback.
Use a riving knife during every cut. The
riving knife maintains the kerf in the workpiece, which will reduce the chance of kickback.
Never attempt freehand cuts. The workpiece
must be fed parallel to the blade, otherwise kickback will likely occur. Always use the rip fence or miter gauge to support the workpiece.
Make sure that rip fence is parallel to blade.
If not, the chances of kickback are very high. Take the time to check and adjust the rip fence.
Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime
you stop feeding a workpiece that is in the middle of a cut, the chance of binding, resulting in kickback, is greatly increased.

Tips for Kickback Protection
Kickback can happen even if precautions are taken to prevent it. Listed below are some tips to protect you if kickback does occur:
Stand to the side of the blade when cutting.
An ejected workpiece usually travels directly in front of the blade.
Wear safety glasses or a face shield. Your
eyes and face are the most vulnerable part of your body.
Familiarize yourself with the following safety notices used in this manual:
This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor injury and/or
possible machine damage.
This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in serious or possibly fatal
injury.
Never place your hand behind the blade. If
kickback occurs, your hand will be pulled into the blade.
Use a push stick to keep your hands farther
away from the moving blade. If a kickback occurs, the push stick will most likely take the damage that your hand would have received.
