Understanding Risks of Machinery
Operating all machinery and machining equipment can be dangerous or relatively safe depending 
on how it is installed and maintained, and the operator's experience, common sense, risk awareness, 
working conditions, and use of personal protective equipment (safety glasses, respirators, etc.).
The owner of this machinery or equipment is ultimately responsible for its safe use. This 
responsibility includes proper installation in a safe environment, personnel training and usage 
authorization, regular inspection and maintenance, manual availability and comprehension, 
application of safety devices, integrity of cutting tools or accessories, and the usage of approved 
personal protective equipment by all operators and bystanders.
The manufacturer of this machinery or equipment will not be held liable for injury or property 
damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications, or misuse. Failure to read, 
understand, and follow the manual and safety labels may result in serious personal injury, including 
amputation, broken bones, electrocution, or death.
The signals used in this manual to identify hazard levels are defined as follows:
Death or catastrophic 
harm WILL occur.
Moderate injury or fire 
MAY occur.
Death or catastrophic 
harm COULD occur.
Machine or property 
damage may occur.
