position can cause you to fall into the machine or cause your
clothing to get caught - pulling you into the machine.

Read and follow these simple rules for best results and
full benefits from your machine. Used properly,
Wellsaw’s machinery is among the best in design and
safety. However, any machine used improperly can be
rendered inefficient and unsafe. It is absolutely
mandatory that those who use our products be properly
trained in how to use them correctly. They should read
and understand the Operators and Parts manual as well
as all labels affixed to the machine. Failure in
following all of these warnings can cause serious
injuries.
9. Maintain all machine tools with care. Follow all
maintenance instructions for lubricating and the changing of
accessories. No attempt shall be made to modify or have
makeshift repairs done to the machine. This not only voids
the warranty but also renders the machine unsafe.
10. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when
practical. It is safer than using your hands and it frees both
hands to operate the machine.
11. Never brush away chips while the machine is in
operation.
12. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite accidents.
13. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the
machine back on.
14. Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do
a job it was not designed for.
15. Use only recommended accessories and follow
manufacturers instructions pertaining to them.
16. Keep hands in sight and clear of all moving parts and
cutting surfaces.
17. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the
work area. Make workshop completely safe by using
padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
18. Know the tool you are using - its application, limitations,
and potential hazards.
