6.0 Setup and assembly
Read and understand all
assembly instructions before attempting
assembly. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury.
6.1 Unpacking
Separate all parts from the packing material. Check
each part against sect. 6.2 Shipping contents and
make certain that all items are accounted for
before discarding any packing material. Report any
shortages or shipping damage to your JET
distributor.
Exposed metal surfaces on the drill press have
been factory-coated with a protectant. Remove this
with a soft rag moistened with a light solvent, such
as kerosene or WD-40
®
. Do not use an abrasive
pad, and do not use gasoline, paint thinner or
acetone – these will damage plastic components
and painted surfaces.
After assembly, exposed metal surfaces on the drill
press should be periodically coated with a light
application of paste wax or other rust-protectant.
