READ THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY
NOTICE
To prevent accidents, keep safety in mind while you work. Use the safety guards
installed on power equipment. When working on power equipment, keep fingers
away from saw blades, wear safety goggles to prevent injuries from flying wood
chips and sawdust, wear hearing protection and consider installing a dust
vacuum to reduce the amount of airborne sawdust in your woodshop. Don’t wear
loose clothing, or jewelry when working on power equipment. Tie back long hair
to prevent it from getting caught in your equipment. People who are sensitive to
certain chemicals should check the chemical content of any product before using
it. The authors and editors who compiled this book have tried to make the
contents as accurate and correct as possible. Plans, illustrations, photographs and
text have been carefully checked. All instructions, plans and projects should be
carefully read, studied and understood before beginning construction. Due to the
variability of local conditions, construction materials, skill levels, etc., neither
