CAUTION!
To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position and the plug is not
connected to the power source outlet.
To avoid serious injury, table insert must be level with
the table. If the table insert is not level with the table,
adjust the screw (3) until it is level with the table. To
raise the insert, turn the screw counterclockwise, to
lower the insert, turn the screw clockwise.
