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. Replace warning labels if they
become obscured or removed.

3. This pneumatic shear 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
shear, do not use until proper training and
knowledge have been obtained.

4. 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.

5. Always wear ANSI approved safety
glasses/face shields while using this shear.

Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

6. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair. Non-slip
footwear or anti-skid floor strips are
recommended.

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

8. Do not exceed the rated capacity of this shear;
use hand tools for small or narrow parts. Do
not attempt to shear hardened materials.

9. Sheet metal stock has sharp edges. To
prevent cuts, use leather work gloves when
handling.

10. Keep hands and fingers clear of the area in
front and rear of the shear.

11. Do not place your hands between material
being sheared and the shear table.

12. 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
maintenance is complete.

13. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

20. 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.

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

22. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and
clean for the best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.

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

24. Unplug or lock out power to the machine when
not in use.
