Powermatic 3520A instruction manual

Do not attempt to engage the spindle lock pin until the spindle has stopped. If leaving the machine area, turn it off and wait until the spindle stops before departing.

Give the work you are doing your undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and "horseplay" are careless acts that can result in serious injury.

Make no adjustments except speed change with the spindle rotating and always disconnect machine from power source when performing maintenance to avoid accidental starting or electrical shock.

Provide for adequate surrounding work space and overhead non-glare lighting. Powermatic recommends the use of non-skid floor strips on the floor area where the operator normally stands and marking off a work area for each machine.

Don't stand in line with any large diameter part being turned or allow anyone else to do so.

When stopping the lathe, never grab the part or face plate to slow it down. Let the work coast to a stop.

Use only Powermatic or factory authorized replacement parts and accessories, otherwise the warranty and guarantee are null and void.

Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.

Do not use this Powermatic wood lathe for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Powermatic disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from that use.

Health Hazards. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

*Lead from lead-based paint.

*Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.

*Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Familiarize yourself with the following safety notices used in this manual:

CAUTION: (This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor or moderate injury
