Operation Safety

D4088 Lathe Attachment Instructions

Read and follow these safety precautions:

EYE/FACE PROTECTION. Wear eye protection and a face shield during all turning operations.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. Always wear a respirator when using this tool. Wood dust may cause allergies or long-term respiratory health problems.

AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Keep long hair and loose clothing such as sleeves, belts, and jewelry items away from the workpiece and chuck.

WORKPIECE CONDITION. Always inspect the condition of your workpiece. NEVER turn stock with knots, splits, and other potentially dangerous conditions. All glued joints must have high quality bonds that will not fly apart during operation.

MOUNTING WORKPIECE. Before starting, be certain the drive and spur centers have been properly imbedded into the workpiece, and that the table is locked in place.

USING TOOL REST. NEVER attempt free-hand turning, you must always support the chisel on the tool rest, and keep the tool rest gap to 1⁄8" to 1⁄2" when ever possible.

TURNING SPEED. Select the correct tuning speed for your work before starting the drill press.

USING SHARP CHISELS. Keep chisels sharp. Dull chisels require more force to cut, causing tool chatter and grabbing hazards.

MATERIAL REMOVAL. Attempting to remove too much wood at once may cause the workpiece or chisel to eject causing severe injury.

Damage to your face, lungs, and eyes could result from using this tool with- out proper protective gear. Always wear a face shield, safety glasses, and a respirator when using this drill press lathe attachment.

Loose hair and clothing could get caught in the spinning workpiece and cause serious person- al injury. Keep loose clothing and long hair away from moving.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machin- ery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
