Important Safety Instructions
Read and understand all warnings and operating instructions before using this equipment. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury or property damage.
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, 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. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels safer. REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your
responsibility.
