W oodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, t h e r e a r e c e r ta i n
hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possi-
b i l i t y o f p e r s o n a l i n j u r y. 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
y o u r p o t e n t i a l f o r i n j u r y.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.
