Dear Woodworker:
Thank you for your purchase and welcome to the Laguna Tools group
of discriminating woodworkers. I understand that you have a choice
of where to purchase your machines and appreciate the confidence
you have in our products.
Every machine sold by Laguna Tools has been carefully designed and
well thought through from a woodworker’s perspective. I cut on our
bandsaws, lathes, table saws and combination machines. Through
my hands-on experience, I work hard to make our machines better.
I strive to give you machines that inspire you to create works of art.
Machines that are a joy to run and work on. Machines that
encourage your performance.
Today, we offer high-performance machines with innovative
solutions that meet the needs of woodworkers and their ever-
evolving craft.
I started Laguna Tools as a woodworker; I still am.
Thank you again for becoming a Laguna Tools customer.

Safety Rules.
As with all machinery there are certain hazards involved with the

Noise emission.
Notes concerning noise emission :
Given that there exists a relationship between noise level and exposure
times, measurement is not precise enough to determine the need for
supplementary precautions. The factors affecting the true level of exposure
to operators are clearly the amount of time exposed, the characteristics of the
working environment, such as other sources of dust and noise, etc., for
example, adjacent machines - in other words, the level of ambient noise. It is
possible that exposure level limits will vary from country to country.

Receiving your machine.
Note. It is probable that your machine will be delivered by a third party.
Before you unpack your new machine, you will need to first inspect the
packing, invoice and shipping documents supplied by the driver.
Insure that there is no visible damage to the packing or the machine. You
need to do this prior to the driver leaving. All damage must be noted on the
delivery documents and signed by you and the delivery driver. You must
then contact the seller [Laguna Tools] as soon as practical. If damage is
found after delivery, contact the seller as soon as is practical.
Note: It is probable that you will find sawdust within your machine. This is
because the machine has been tested prior to shipment from the factory
and/or Laguna Tools.
Laguna Tools endeavors to test machines prior to shipping to customers as
movement can take place during transportation. It must be noted that
additional machine movement can take place between Laguna Tools and the
end-user, and some adjustments may have to be undertaken by the customer.
These adjustments are covered in the various sections of this manual.

Where to locate your machine.
Before you remove your machine from the packaging, select the area where
you will use your machine. There are no hard and fast rules for its location,
but below are a few guidelines:
1. There should be an area at the front of the machine suitable for
comfortable working.
2. There should be sufficient area at the back of the machine to allow access
for adjustments and maintenance to be conducted.
3. Adequate lighting. The better the lighting, the more accurately and safely
you will be able to work.
4. Solid floor. You should select a solid flat floor, preferably concrete or
something similar.
5. Locate it close to a power source and dust collection.
6. Allow an area for the storage of blanks, finished products and tools.
Unpacking your machine.
To unpack your machine,
you will need tin snips,
knife, star screwdriver and a
wrench.
1. Using the tin snips, cut
the banding that is securing
the packing box [If fitted].
WARNING: EXTREME
CAUTION MUST BE
USED, BECAUSE THE
BANDING WILL
SPRING APART AND COULD CAUSE INJURY.
2. Dismantle the box, including the sides as this will ease access to the
machine.
