PowerPro/bandsaw problems GONE!!

I am butting in because I find this interesting. I am not a slow reader but I still don’t read instructions unless trouble comes along. I need to find out where I got wrong that’s why I’ve got to touch the instructions manual. After reading, I find my hand slapping my forehead and telling myself “I told you to read the instructions first!”. That’s one thing I doubt I can change.dusty wrote:Just to set the record straight. I hardly ever read the instructions unless I get in trouble. Then I read what I have to to get out of trouble. I am and always have been a very poor and slow reader. Therefore, I do it only when I must.

Methinks if all those chicken little 'safety' warnings were eliminated and the resulting 'instructions' were reduced to a fraction of their original(with chicken little rants) size, we would all be more likely to read them from the git go right out of the box.(end jpg rant):D

...just as soon as you finished reading all the warnings on the OUTside of the box cautioning you that there are no more warnings included in the instructions...JPG40504 wrote:Methinks if all those chicken little 'safety' warnings were eliminated and the resulting 'instructions' were reduced to a fraction of their original(with chicken little rants) size, we would all be more likely to read them from the git go right out of the box.(end jpg rant):D
but ya know, who cares anyway? What instructions. What warnings. I just flashed on a water pump I ordered a while back, to use outside. You know, outside, weather, water, electricity, like dat, and so i wanted to read any warnings or instructions. Opened the box labeled "Pump, Outside", there was the pump, and on it a Caution label, fine print {whaddaya mean "fine" print? Thjis aint "fine", it's rotten-- so dang tiny I have to get a magnifier, "fine" my okole) saying "For indoor use only".
Called the company, they said "oh, that's okay, they all say that".
&$%(%@#*% warnings!

I guess I’m not alone in regards with reading instructions first.
