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.

3. BE POSITIVE ALL LOCKS ARE TIGHT BE- FORE OPERATING MACHINE,

4. TURN WORKPIECE BY HAND BEFORE

APPLYING POWER TO DETERMINE IF IT CLEARS THE TOOL REST OR OTHER MA-

CHINE PARTS.

5. ROUGH OUT FACEPLATE WORKPIECES BEFORE INSTALLING ON FACEPLATE TO AVOID EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AND POS-

SIBLE INJURY,

6. DO NOT MOUNT SPLIT OR CHECKED WORKP|ECE OR ONE CONTAINING KNOT.

7. ALWAYS USE LOWEST SPEED WHEN

STARTING A NEW WORKPIECE, USING

FACEPLATE OR TURNING BETWEEN CEN-

TERS, TO MINIMIZE POTENTIAL iNJURY.

11. Complete hand sanding of between-centers or faceplate mounted workpieces BEFORE removing from the lathe. Do not exceed the speed used for the

last cutting operation performed on the workpiece, in

accordance with the speed chart.

12. NEVER attempt to remount a faceptate turning to the faceplate for any reason. NEVER attempt to

remount a between-centers turning if the original

centers in the turning have been altered or removed.

BE POSITIVE the lathe _s set at the lowest speed if remounting a between-centers turning with

non-altered original centers.

t3. Use extra caution in mounting a between-centers or

spindle turning to the faceplate, or a faceplate turning

to between-centers, for subsequent operations. BE POSITIVE the lathe is set at the _owest speed before

turning ON.

14, NEVER mount a workpiece that contains any splits,

checks, or loose knots to a faceplate or between centers.

15. Do not perform any operation when hand holding the workpiece. Do not mount a reamer, mHIing cutter, wire wheeI, buffing wheel, or a drill bit to the headstock spindie.
