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 drum 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 drum sander, do
not use until proper training and knowledge
have been obtained.
5. Do not use this drum sander 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 drum
sander. (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. Kickback occurs when the workpiece is thrown
towards the operator at a high rate of speed. If
you do not have a clear understanding of
kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT operate
this drum sander.
9. Wear hearing protection (plugs or muffs) during
extended periods of operation.
10. Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood
products generates wood dust and other
substances known to the State of California to
cause cancer. Avoid inhaling dust generated
from wood products or use a dust mask or other
safeguards to avoid inhaling dust generated
from wood products.
11. Wood products emit chemicals known to the
State of California to cause birth defects or
other reproductive harm. (California Health and
Safety Code Section 25249.6)
12. Do not operate this machine while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
13. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position
before connecting the machine to the power
supply.
14. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
15. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance
with the machine unplugged from the power
source.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. Make sure the sander is firmly secured to the
stand or work table before use.
19. 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.
20. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
21. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.
22. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area. Keep children away.
23. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
24. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-
play” are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.
25. 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.
26. 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.
