Safety Instructions For Wood Turning Lathe (continued)
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist
watches). They can get caught and
draw you into moving parts.
• Wear nonslip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
• Noise levels vary widely. To reduce
the risk of possible hearing damage,
wear ear plugs or muffs when using
lathe for hours at a time.
Inspect Your Workpiece
• Think Safety.
• Complete hand sanding of the work-
piece before removing it from the
faceplace. Never attempt to remove
and then remount a faceplate turn-
ing to the faceplace for any reason.
It is not always possible to position
the turning on the faceplace exactly
the way it was originally and an out-
of-balance condition could result.
• Never attempt to remount a
between-centers turning if the origi-
nal centers in the turning have been
altered or removed. Be positive the
lathe is set at the lowest speed if
remounting a between-centers turn-
ing with non-altered original centers.
• Use extra caution in mounting a
between-centers or spindle turning
to the faceplate, or a faceplate turn-
ing to between- centers, for subse-
quent operations. Be positive the
lathe is set at the lowest speed
before turning ON.
• Never mount a workpiece that con-
tains any splits, checks, or loose
knots to a faceplate or between cen-
ters.
• Do not perform any operation when
hand holding the workpiece. Do not
mount a reamer, milling cutter, wire
wheel, or a drill bit to the headstock
spindle.
Whenever Lathe Is Running
WARNING: Don't allow familiar-
ity (gained from frequent use of
your lathe) to cause a careless
mistake. Always remember that a
careless fraction of a second is
enough to cause a severe injury.
• Before actually turning with the
lathe, let it run for a while. If it makes
an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot,
stop immediately. Turn the lathe off.
Unplug the lathe. Do not restart until
finding and correcting the problem.
Keep Children Away.
• Keep all visitors a safe distance
from the lathe.
• Make sure bystanders are clear of
the lathe and workpiece.
Don’t Force Tool.
• Feed the tool into the workpiece
only fast enough to let the tool cut
without bogging down or binding.
Before freeing jammed material.
• Turn switch “OFF”.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Unplug the lathe.
Before Leaving the Lathe
• Turn the lathe off.
• Wait for lathe to come to a complete
stop.
• Unplug the lathe.
• Make workshop child-proof. Lock
the shop. Disconnect master
switches. Remove the yellow switch
key. Store it away from children and
others not qualified to use the tool.
