Additional Safety for Wood Lathes

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 oper- ating 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 start- ing, 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.ADJUSTING TOOL REST. Adjust tool rest to provide proper support for the turning tool you will be using. Test tool rest clear- ance by rotating workpiece by hand before turning lathe ON.

6.TURNING SPEED. Select the correct turn- ing speed for your work, and allow the lathe to gain full speed before using.

7.USING SHARP CHISELS. Keep lathe chisels properly sharpened and held firmly in position when turning.

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

9.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.

10.ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE. Make sure your wood lathe is turned OFF, dis- connected from its power source, and all moving parts have come to a complete stop before starting any inspection, adjust- ment, 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.

13.FACEPLATE TURNING. When faceplate turning, use lathe chisels on the downward spinning side of the workpiece only.

14.SANDING/POLISHING. Remove the tool rest when performing sanding or polishing operations on the rotating spindle.

15.MATERIAL REMOVAL RATE. Attempting to remove too much material at once may cause workpiece to fly out of the lathe.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the pos- sibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.

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 machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
