IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
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, featherboards, 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. REMENBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.
