Tips & Warnings
- Always wear eye, ear, and dust protection when operating machinery.
- Secure your workpiece — clamps and bench dogs make cuts safer and more accurate.
- Let the tool do the work: don’t force bits, blades, or discs.
- Test new settings on scrap wood before making final cuts.
- Maintain blades sharp — dull edges increase kickback risk.
