Safety Cautions
This machine is intended for use by QUALIFIED PERSONNEL only. Make certain all operators are
properly trained, know how to safely and correctly operate the unit.
1) Pre-Use Safety
Educating yourself about the lathe before using it can prevent many accidents. Read the user
manual before you start work. Examine the lathe for any loose, damaged or missing parts and
ensure that all parts are in place. Do not use the lathe if you notice any problems.
2) Wear Safety Glasses
Lathes often spit out chips and other pieces of hot, sharp metal. Wearing industrial safety
glasses, especially those with side shields, will protect your eyes from damage.
3) Clothing and Accessory Safety
Lathes can easily catch long sleeves and loose clothing. It's best to wear short sleeves or long
sleeves with fitted cuffs that cannot get caught and drawn into the lathe. Wear long pants and
sturdy work shoes to protect your legs and feet from hot metal. Remove any jewelry or wrist
watches that could get caught on the lathe. Pull back long hair as well.
4) Aligning Workpieces
Before you begin work, make sure drums and rotors are properly and squarely mounted before
starting lathe, and all parts are secure.
5) Cutting Safety
Keep your hands and fingers away from any moving parts or cutting tools. Never use your hand
to stop a moving parts. Instead, move the cutting tool away from the rotors or drums, turn off
the lathe and remove the work piece.
6) Use the Right Tool Only
Do not force a tool or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. It does not help to
do any job better.
7) Electrical Safety
Remove power from the unit before servicing. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure the switch
is in the OFF position before plugging the machine in or performing any maintenance. If an
extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating more than that of the equipment should
be used at all times. Cords rated less current than the equipment may overheat. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, do not use on wet surfaces.
8) Clean Up Safety
Thoroughly clean your work area after using the lathe. Sweep up any metal pieces from the floor
or work area with a brush or broom. Do not touch the metal pieces with your hands as they may
cut or burn you. Do not use compressed air to blow the tool clean. Metal chips and dust may be
driven between machines parts and into bearings causing wear.
