Before Using the Lathe

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind- ing, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•Lead from lead-based paints,

•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry prod- ucts, and

•Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip- ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of mistakes that could cause seri- ous, permanent injury, do not plug the lathe in until the following steps have been satisfactorily com- pleted.
