Additional Safety for Wood Lathes

SAFETY

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and fol- lowed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

1.KEEPING GUARDS IN PLACE. Make sure all guards are in place and that the lathe sits on a flat, stable surface.

2.EYE/FACE PROTECTION. Always wear eye protection or a face shield when operating the lathe.

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

4.MOUNTING WORKPIECE. Before starting, be certain the workpiece has been properly imbedded on the headstock and tailstock centers and that there is adequate clearance for the full rotation.

5.WORKPIECE CONDITION. Always inspect the condition of your workpiece. DO NOT turn pieces with knots, splits, and other potentially dangerous conditions. Make sure joints of glued-up pieces have high quality bonds and won't fly apart during operation.

6.ADJUSTING TOOL REST. Adjust tool rest to provide proper support for the turning tool you will be using. Test tool rest clearance by rotating workpiece by hand before turning lathe ON.

7.TURNING SPEED. Select the correct turning speed for your work, and allow the lathe to gain full speed before using.

8.USING SHARP CHISELS. Keep lathe chisels properly sharpened and held firmly in position when turn- ing.

9.OPERATING DAMAGED LATHE. Never operate the lathe with damaged or worn parts.

10.ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE. Make sure your wood lathe is turned OFF, disconnected from its power source, and all moving parts have come to a complete stop before starting any inspection, adjustment, or maintenance procedure.

11.STOPPING LATHE. DO NOT stop the lathe by using your hand against the workpiece. Allow the lathe to stop on its own.

12.AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Keep long hair and loose clothing articles such as sleeves, belts, and jewelry items away from the lathe spindle.
