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.
This machine was designed for certain applications only. D e l ta Machinery strongly recommends that this machine not be modified

tion, DO NOT use the machine until you have first contacted Delta to determine if it can or should be performed on the product.
