GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Woodworking 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, featherboards, goggles, dust masks and hearing protection can
reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard will not make up for poor judgment, carelessness
or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels
dangerous, do not try it. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels safer.
REMEMBER:
Your personal
safety is your responsibility.
This machine was designed for certain applications only. We strongly recommend that this machine

any questions relative to a particular application,
DO NOT
use the machine until you have first contacted
your local dealer to determine if it can or should be performed on the product.
