Safety Rules For Wood Lathes

Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or goggles and hearing protection when operating equipment — particularly when testing new tools or machinery. Do not allow visitors into your workshop when testing or operating equipment. Serious personal injury may occur.

The Model G1067Z is capable of causing seri- ous personal injury if used in a reckless man- ner. Please follow the previously-mentioned safety rules for all tools, as well as these safety guidelines for Wood Lathes:

1.Observe all electrical requirements such as fuse sizing, wire sizing, grounding and any other electrical consideration.

2.Ensure that all guards are in place and that the Wood Lathe sets on a flat, stable sur- face.

3.Always wear eye protection when operat- ing a Wood Lathe. Use a respirator to avoid inhaling dust. All safety equipment should be ANSI approved.

4.Always observe the condition of the mate- rials you are turning. Pay particular atten- tion to knots, splits and other potentially dangerous conditions.

5.Never operate the lathe with damaged or worn parts.

6.Maintain your lathe in proper working con- dition. Perform routine inspections and maintenance promptly when called for. Put away adjustment tools after use.

7.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, adjust- ment, or maintenance procedure.

8.Allow the lathe to gain its full speed before beginning turning.

9.Do not leave lathe running unattended for any reason.

10.Do not stop lathe by putting your hand against the workpiece.

11.Discourage visitors, particularly children, from your work area while you are working. If visitors must be in your shop while you work, make sure that they are provided with ANSI-approved safety protection.

12.Remove indexing pin before turning lathe on.

13.Test your tool rest clearance by rotating workpiece by hand before turning lathe on.

14.When face plate turning, use lathe chisels on the downward spinning side of the workpiece only.

15.Always support lathe chisels on the tool rest.

Remember that every shop has its own specif- ic hazards. Be sure, above all else, to use good common sense and reasonable caution each time you start this lathe, or any woodworking machinery. Proper safety standards rarely take any more time or energy when followed reli- giously. Develop a habit of safety.
