GENERAL ® INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY
All component parts of General® International machinery are carefully tested and inspected during all stages of production, and each unit is thoroughly inspected upon completion of assembly. Because of our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, General® International agrees to repair or replace, within a period of 24 months from date of purchase, any genuine part or parts which, upon examination, prove to be defective in workmanship or material. In order to obtain this warranty, all defective parts must be returned freight pre-paid to General® International Mfg. Co., Ltd. Repairs attempted without our written authorization will void this warranty.

However, special orders and “after

Rules for Shop Safety
To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s applications and limitations, as well as potential hazards. General® International disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury that may result from improper use of its equipment.
1.Do not operate machinery when tired, distracted, or under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medication that impairs reflexes or alertness.
2.The working area should be well lit, clean and free of debris.
3.Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the machine is in operation; do not permit them to operate the machine.
4.Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all machinery with locks, master electrical switches and switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.
5.Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention. Even a momentary distraction can lead to serious injury.
6.Fine particulate saw dust is a carcinogen that can be hazardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area and whenever possible use a dust collector and wear eye, ear and respiratory protection devices.
7.Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces and ornaments while the machine is in operation.
8.Be sure that adjusting wrenches, tools, drinks and other clutter are removed from the machine and/or the table surface before commencing operation.
9.Keep hands well away from blades and all moving parts. Use a push stick to feed stock, and use a brush, not hands, to clear away chips and sawdust.
10.Be sure that saw blade is securely locked, and in proper cutting direction, before operation.
11.Use recommended-speed, saw blade and accessories for the working material.
12.Be sure the blade has gained full operating speed before beginning to cut.
13.Always use a clean, properly sharpened blade. Dirty or dull blades are unsafe and can lead to accidents.
14.Do not push or force stock into the cutting blade. The machine will perform better and more safely when working at the rate for which it was designed.
15.Use suitable support when cutting stock that does not have a flat surface. Always hold stock firmly against the fence when ripping, or against the miter gauge when cross-cutting.
16.To minimize risk of injury in the event of work piece kickback, never stand directly in-line with the blade or in the potential kickback path of the work piece.
17.Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions. Do not overreach during cutting operation; keep both feet on floor. Never lean over or reach over the blade and never pull the work piece over the blade from behind. Use outfeed support or have an assistant help when ripping long material.
18.Keep blade guards in place and in working order. If a guard must be removed for maintenance or cleaning, be sure it is properly reattached before using the tool again.
19.Never leave the machine running with the power on when not in operation.
20.If using a power feeder, stop the feeder before stopping the machine.
21.Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended by General® International may result in equipment malfunction or risk of injury.
22.Never stand on machinery. Serious injury could result if the tool is tipped over or if blade is unintentionally contacted.
23.Always disconnect tool from power before servicing or changing accessories such as a saw blade, or before performing any maintenance, cleaning or adjustments, or if the machine will be left unattended.
24.Make sure that switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the power cord.
25.Make sure tool is properly grounded. If tool is equipped with a 3-prong plug it should be used with a three-pole receptacle. Never remove the third prong
