The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions.
This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of impor-
tance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that
safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper
accident prevention measures.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
COULD result in death or serious injury.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
WILL result in death or serious injury.
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about
proper operation of the machine.

ties contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

SECTION 1: SAFETY
These instructions assume that you are intimately familiar with the safe operation and use of
woodworking machinery and woodworking tools, and understand the techniques used to build this
project. If you do not qualify for both of these criteria, STOP building this project for your own
safety. Read and understand the owners manual for the machinery you intend to use, take a wood-
working class or visit your local library for more information. Woodworking machinery and tools
are inherently dangerous because they use sharp edges that can and will cause serious personal
injury including amputation and death. Do not underestimate the ability of these tools and machin-
ery to cause injury. Never operate any tool without all guards in place and always wear approved
safety glasses. For your own safety, please heed this warning.
Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or read-
ing glasses are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropri-
ate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Because there are various ways to cut and join wood, you can make substitutions for the methods
stated in this plan. We try to suggest the easiest methods possible. However, only you know your
skills with each piece of machinery. Never compromise your safety by using a cutting method
with which you are not comfortable. Instead, find an alternative approach that will yield the same
result.
