SECTION 1: SAFETY 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.
