     free of foreign materials.  ACCU Industries recommends the         
 

     use of anti-skid floor strips where the operator normally          

     stands, and that each machine has its own work area marked         

     off.  Make certain that the work area is well-lighted and          

     ventilated.  Provide for adequate work space around the            

     machine.  The work area should not be readily accessible to        

     anyone except the operator.

  Do Not Overreach:  Maintain a balanced stance and keep your 

     body under control at all times.

  Hand Safety:  Keep hands away from moving parts when the 

     machine is under power.  Never clear chips or debris when 

     the machine is under power and never use your hands to clear 

     the chips.  Never use compressed air to clean machine; use  

     only a soft bristle brush or vacuum cleaner.

  Spindle Rotation:  Rotate spindle by hand before applying 

     power.  Be sure that the rotation of the spindle 

     is correct.

  Machining Preparation:  Tighten all locks before operating the 

     lathe.  Be sure workpiece is secured.  Remove adjusting keys

     wrenches are removed from the lathe before  turning the machine 

     on.

  Check Damaged Parts:  Before further use of the lathe, a guard 

     or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to 

     determine if it will operate properly and perform its intended 

     function.  Check for alignment of  moving parts, binding of 

     moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other 

     conditions that may affect the lathe's operation.  A guard or 

     other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or 

     replaced.
