Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine# Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention# Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the pos- sibility of operator injury# If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur#
No list of safety guidelines can be complete# Every shop environment is different# Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions# Use this and other machinery with caution and respect#
Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results#
