Safety
Safety Notices and
Decals
For your safety, and the safety of others, read and
understand all of the safety notices and decals included here and on the unit.
Read entire manual
before installing,
operating, or servicing this equipment.
Proper maintenance
and inspection is
necessary for safe
operation.
Do not operate a
damaged lathe.
Warning
This equipment incorporates parts such as snap
switches and power receptacles which tend to produce arcs or sparks. Theref ore, when located in a service facility, the unit should be in a room or enclosure
provided for the purpose, or should be at least 18” or
more above floor to minimize the risk of igniting fuel
vapors.
Cautions and Dangers
1. Eye and face protection requirements:
“Protective eye and face equipment is required
to be used where there is a reasonable
probability of injury that can be prevented by use
of such equipment.” OSHA 1910.133 (a).
Protective goggles, safety glasses, or a face
shield must be provided by the purchaser/user
and worn by the operator of the equipment.
Make sure all eye and face safety precautions are
followed by the operator(s). Keep bystanders out
of the area.
2. Do not remove any safety equipment, belt
guards, or shortcut controls or operations.
3. Make sure drums and rotors are properly and
squarely mounted before starting lathe, and that
all parts are secure.
4. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or gloves
when operating or working around a lathe.
5. Do not overload the lathe. Read and understand
the lathe specifications. Overloading is poor
machine tool practice, shortens the life of the
lathe, and could cause a failure resulting in
personal injury.
Failure to follow danger, warning, and caution
instructions may lead to serious personal injury or
death to operator or bystander or damage to property. Do not operate this machine until you read
and understand all the dangers, warnings and cautions in this manual. For additional copies of either,

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
When using your garage equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Keep guards in place and in working order.
2. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the tool
before turning it on. Make this a habit.
3. Keep work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
4.To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate equipment
in the vicinity of open containers of flammable liquids
(gasoline).
5. Adequate ventilation should be provided when w orking on operating internal combustion engines.
6. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
7. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or
if the equipment has been dropped or damaged—until it
has been examined by a qualified serviceman.
8. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating equal to or more than that of the equipment
should be used. Cords rated for less current than the
equipment may overheat. Care should be taken to
arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or
pulled.
9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use on
wet surfaces or expose to rain.
10. Keep children away. All bystanders should be kept
completely away from the work area.
11. Make the workshop kid-proof. Use padlocks and
master switches, and remove starter keys.
12. Don’t f orce a tool. It will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
13. Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
14. Dress properly. Keep hair, loose clothing, neckties,
shop rags, jewelry, fingers, and all parts of body away
from moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended.
15. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT
safety glasses. Safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield
will help protect the operator from injury. Use a face
shield and dust mask during dusty operations.
16. Secure the work properly to the unit for setup and
tool bit positioning. Do not attempt to hold a drum or
rotor steady on the arbor with your hands. Both hands
must be free to operate unit.
17. Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times when lathe is in operation or when working
around the unit.
18. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
19. Remove power from the unit and disconnect tools
before servicing and when changing accessories such as
blades, bits, cutters, etc. Follow lock-out and tag-out procedures as required.
20. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure the switch
is in the OFF (O) position before plugging the machine in
or performing any maintenance or service work.
21. Use of improper accessories may cause risk of
injury to operator or bystanders. Use only as described in
this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended
attachments.
22. Never stand or lean on a lathe. Serious injury could
occur if the lathe is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
23. Check damaged parts carefully. Before further use
of the lathe, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked. Immediately replace all damaged,
missing, or non-functional parts. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect operation. Guards and other parts that are damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced before lathe is used again.
24. A lways feed the work into a blade or cutter and
against the direction of rotation. Cutters and tool bits are
designed to cut from the inside of a drum or rotor to the
outer edge. Do not attempt to cut from the outside edge
in to the center.
25. Never leave tools running unattended. Turn the
power off. Don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
26. Never use compressed air to blow the tool clean.
Chips and dust may be driven between machined parts
and into bearings, causing undue wear. They may also
contact persons in the area causing personal injury.
Before operating the lathe, review the warning information on the lathe and the cautions, warnings and dangers in
this manual. Also review the following general safety instructions. Failure to follow safety instructions could result in
personal injury to operator or bystanders and damage to the lathe or personal property.
