SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation
and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of
personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored, personal injury to the operator or damage to property, may result.
1.
ALWAYS Learn the machines applications, limitations and the
specific potential hazards peculiar to it. Read and become familiar
with the entire operating manual.
2.
ALWAYS use a face or dust mask if operation is particularly dusty.
3.
ALWAYS check for damage. Before using the machine, any
damaged part, should be checked to ensure that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings and any other
condition that may affect the machines operation. Any damage should be properly
repaired or the part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT use the machine. Consult your
local dealer.
4.
ALWAYS disconnect the machine from the power supply before servicing and when
changing accessories.

Everyday eyeglasses do not have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety
