INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUC-
TIONS . . . AND UNTIL YOU HAVE READ
AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING:
PAG E
1. General Safety Instructions .................. 2
2. Getting to Know Your Lathe .................. 11
3, Basic Lathe Operation ....................... 13
4, Maintenance .............................. 30
5. The Lathe and motor must be bolted down to a stand
or workbench for stability.
6. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body
a. Wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.t-
1968, and a face shield if operation is dusty. Wear
ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of
operation.
b. When turning between centers or on the faceplate,
always rough-out "out of round" workpieces at
stow speed. Running the Lathe too fast, so that it
vibrates, could cause the workpiece to be thrown
from the Lathe. _ , or the turning tool to be jerked
from your hands,
c. Always revolve the workpiece by hand before turn-
ing on the motor. If the workpiece strikes the too!
rest, it could split and be thrown out of the Lathe.
d. Do not allow the turning tool to "bite" into the
workpiece which could result in splitting of the
workpiece or the workpiece being thrown from the
Lathe. Always position the tool rest above the
centedine of the Lathe for spindle turning. Do not
apply the turning tool to the workpiece below the
level of the toot rest.
e. Do not run the Lathe in the wrong direction. This
could cause the turning tool to be thrown from
your hands. The Lathe must run in a direction so
that the workpiece turns toward you.
f. Before attaching a workpiece to the faceplate al-
ways "rough it out" to as "true round" as possible.
This will minimize vibration while turning.
Always fasten the workpiece securely to the face-
plate.
Failure to perform these set-up operations could
cause the workpiece to be thrown from the Lathe,
g. Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden
slip could cause a hand to move into the workpiece.
h. Remove all loose knots before installing workpiece
between centers or on the faceplate.
i. Never leave the Lathe work area with the power on
before the Lathe has come to a complete stop, or
without removing and storing the switch key.
Hang your turning tools on the wall toward the tail-
stock end of the Lathe. Do not lay them on the bench
so that you must reach over the revolving workpiece
to select them.
8. Keep firm hold and control of the turning toot at aH
times. Speciat caution must be exercised when knots or
voids are exposed to the turning tool.
9. Note the following DANGER label which appears on
the front of the belt guard.
