2.OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.
3.FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections to prevent shock or electrocution.
4.SECURE THE MACHINE TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE. Vibration can cause the machine to slide, walk, or tip over.
5.NEVER START THE MACHINE BEFORE CLEARING THE TABLE of all objects (tools, scrap pieces, etc.). Debris can be thrown at high speed causing injury.
6.NEVER START THE MACHINE WITH THE WORKPIECE AGAINST THE BLADE. The workpiece can be thrown, causing injury.
7.NEVER START THE MACHINE UNTIL ALL HANDLES ARE LOCKED AND THE BLADE IS AT THE CORRECT TENSION. Abnormal operations cause injuries.
