•
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture
of Wallenstein products. Unfortunately, our efforts to
provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single
careless act.
•
The best safety feature is an informed,
careful operator—we ask you to
be that kind of an operator. It is the
operator's responsibility to read,
understand and follow ALL safety and
operation instructions in the manual.
Accidents can be avoided.
• Do not allow anyone to use this machine until they have
read this manual. Operator's must have a thorough
understanding of the safety precautions and of how the
machine works
. Review the safety instructions with all
users annually.
