SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Wood working can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As
with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using
the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury.
However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator
may result.
Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, feather boards, goggles, dust
masks and hearing protection can
reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t
make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and
exercise caution
in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it.
