Additional Safety Instructions For The Lathe

1.MAKE SURE ALL GUARDS are in place and that the Lathe sits on a flat, stable sur- face.

2.ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION or a face shield when operating the Lathe. All safety equipment should be ANSI approved.

3.USE A RESPIRATOR TO AVOID INHAL- ING DUST. All safety equipment should be ANSI approved.

4.BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE 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.ADJUST TOOL REST to provide proper support for the turning tool you will be using. Test tool rest clearance by rotating work- piece by hand before turning lathe on.

6.SELECT THE TURNING SPEED which is appropriate for the type of work. Allow the lathe to gain its full speed before using.

7.ALWAYS INSPECT THE CONDITION of the materials you are turning. Do not turn pieces with knots, splits and other potential- ly dangerous conditions.

8.KEEP LATHE TOOLS PROPERLY SHARPENED and hold firmly in the proper position when turning.

9.NEVER OPERATE THE LATHE WITH DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS. Maintain your lathe in proper working condition.

10.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 mainte- nance procedure.

11.DO NOT LEAVE LATHE RUNNING UNATTENDED for any reason.

12.DO NOT STOP LATHE USING YOUR HAND against the workpiece.

13.KEEP LOOSE CLOTHING ARTICLES such as sleeves, belts and jewelry items away from the lathe spindle.

14.WHEN FACE PLATE TURNING, use lathe chisels on the downward spinning side of the workpiece only.

15.REMOVE THE TOOL REST when per- forming sanding or polishing operations on the rotating spindle.

16.ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE too much material at once may cause work material to fly out of the lathe.

17.THE JOINTS OF GLUED-UP WORK- PIECES should be high quality to prevent them from breaking under the extreme forces of lathe turning. Consult in-depth trade manuals and instructional books for correct techniques when gluing up a work- piece from multiple pieces. If a joint fails during a lathe turning operation, serious injury or death could occur.

Like all machines there is danger associated with the Model G1067Z. Accidents are fre- quently caused by lack of familiarity or fail- ure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precau- tions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
