Warnings - Jet JWP-12DX Owner's Manual

WARNING

For your own safety, read this instruction manual before operating the planer.
Always wear eye protection.
Do not wear gloves, necktie, or loose clothing.
Do not force work through the machine. Allow the planer to apply the proper feed rate.
Check the feed rollers before use for chips and sawdust lodged between any of the components.
If the rollers are not seated firmly, the feed rollers will not hold stock firmly against the bed and
the chance of kickback increases.
Plane only wood boards with no loose knots and few tight knots as possible.
Never stand directly in line with either the infeed or outfeed ends. Always stand off to one side
of the machine.
Be sure the workpiece is free of nails, screws, stones, and other foreign objects which could
damage the knives.
Be certain the knives are properly attached to the cutterhead as described in the instructions.
Allow the cutterhead to reach full speed before feeding the workpiece.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on.
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
DO NOT USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet
locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from the work area.
MAKE THE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter
keys.
DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
USE THE 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 undersize cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. For runs up to 25 feet, use a 18 AWG or larger gauge cord. For runs up to 50
feet, use a 16 AWG or larger gauge cord. For runs up to 100 feet, use a 14 AWG or larger
gauge cord. For runs up to 150 feet, use a 12 AWG or larger gauge cord. Runs over 150 feet
are not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
