Jet JJP-8BT Operating Instructions And Parts Manual page 5

22. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and "horse-play" are
careless acts that can result in serious injury.
23. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the cutterhead or other
moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.
24. 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.
25. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.
26. Maintain tools with care. Keep knives sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
27. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove chips or debris — do not
use your hands.
28. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.
29. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it
comes to a complete stop.
30. Before turning on machine, remove all extra equipment such as keys, wrenches, scrap, stock, and cleaning
rags away from the machine.
31. Always use a hold-down or push block when surfacing stock less than 12" inches long, or 3 inches wide, or
3 inches thick.
32. Do not perform jointing operations on material shorter than 8", narrower than 3/4" or less than 1/4" thick.
33. The hands must never be closer than 3 inches to
the cutterhead (see Figure).
34. Never apply pressure to stock directly over the
cutterhead. This may result in the stock tipping into
the cutterhead along with the operator's fingers.
Position hands away from extreme ends of stock,
and push through with a smooth, even motion.
Never back workpiece toward the infeed table.
35. To avoid kickback, the grain must run in the same
direction you are cutting. Before attempting to joint,
or plane, each work piece must be carefully
examined for stock condition and grain orientation.
36. When working with a swirl grain wood or burls,
making it necessary to plane against the grain, use a lesser depth of cut and a slow rate of feed.
37. Move the hands in an alternate motion from back to front as the work continues through the cut. Never
pass the hands directly over the cutter knife. As one hand approaches the knives remove it from the stock
in an arc motion and place it back on the stock in a position beyond the cutter knife (Fig. 2).
38. At all times hold the stock firmly.
39. Do not use this for other than it intended use. If used for other purposes, JET disclaims any real or implied
warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury or damage which may result from that use.
