Additional Safety Instructions For Lathe/Mills

1.MAKE SURE ALL GUARDS are in place and that the lathe/mill sits on a flat, stable surface.

2.BEFORE STARTING THE LATHE/MILL be certain the workpiece has been properly engaged in the chuck, tailstock, center, or vise (if in use) and that there is adequate clearance for full motion.

3.ADJUST TOOL POST to provide proper support for the turning tool you will be using. Test tool post clearance by rotating workpiece by hand before turning lathe on.

4.SELECT THE TURNING SPEED which is appropriate for the type of work, material, and tool bit. Allow the lathe or mill to gain its full speed before beginning a cut.

5.NEVER REVERSE MOTOR DIRECTION while the lathe/mill is in motion.

6.DO NOT STOP LATHE USING YOUR HAND against the workpiece or chuck.

7.DO NOT LEAVE LATHE/MILL RUNNING UNATTENDED for any reason.

8.NEVER LEAVE A CHUCK KEY IN THE DRILL CHUCK OR LATHE CHUCK.

9.NEVER OPERATE THE LATHE/MILL WITH DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS.

Maintain your lathe/mill in proper working condition. Perform routine inspections and maintenance promptly when called for. Put away adjustment tools after use.

10.MAKE SURE LATHE/MILL IS TURNED OFF, disconnected from its power source and all moving parts have come to a com- plete stop before starting any inspection, adjustment, or maintenance procedure.

11.KEEP LOOSE CLOTHING ARTICLES such as sleeves, belts or jewelry items away from the lathe and drill spindles.

12.ALWAYS USE THE PROPER CUTTING TOOLS for the material you are turning, make certain they are sharp and that they are held firmly in the tool post.

13.ALWAYS PLACE A BOARD OR PIECE OF PLYWOOD ACROSS THE BEDWAY when removing or installing chucks to avoid the possibility of a finger pinch occurring between a loose chuck and the edges of the bedway.

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.

Like all power tools, there is danger asso- ciated with the Model G0516 Lathe/Mill. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this tool with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
