b. WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES, FORESIGHT IS

BETTER THAN NO SIGHT. Wear safety gog-

gles, not glasses, that comply with ANSI Z87.1

(shown on package). Operating any power tool

can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes which can result in permanent eye

damage. Safety goggles are available at Sears retail catalog stores. Use of glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could result in severe injury from breakage of the eye

protection.

c. For dusty operation, wear a face shield along

with safety goggles.

d. To avoid being struck by thrown workpieces or

tools:

1) Before turning latheon, be positive the lathe is set at the slowest speed for roughing a

new workpiece or for turning a remounted

workpiece.

2) Before turning the lathe on, always rotate

the workplace by hand to make sure itdoes not strike the tool rest or anything else.

3) Make sure centers are aligned when tailstock and ram are locked.

4) Make sure the spur center and cup center are firmly seated against theworkpiece and

that the tail stock is locked in place for spin- dle turnings.

5) Always center workpiece and use wood free of checks, splits, cracks or knots. Use

lathe to turn wood and wood-like products only.

6) Before mounting workpiece "rough it out"

to as "true round" as possible.

7) Always center and fasten the workpiece securely to the face plate for face plate

turning.

8) Always position thetool rest above the cen- terllne of the lathe for spindle turning and

lock in place.

9) Do not try any operation when hand holding the workpiece or applying the turning tool

to the workpiece below the level of the tool rest.

10) Never try to remount a face plate turning to the face plate for any reason.

11) Never try to remount spindle turnings be- tween centers if the original centers in the turning have been altered or removed.

12) Keep firm hold and control of the turning tool and do not let the tool "bite" into the

workpiece.

13) Make sure all clamps and locks are tight

and there is no sideplay,

14) Never use lathe to cut workpiece into two pieces.

15) Before turning lathe on be sure motor cover Esinstalled and slide closed,

16) Make sure headstock is securely attached to bed.

e. To avoid being suddenly caught in the lathe:

1) Do not wear gloves, neckties or loose clothing.

2) Tie back long hair.

3) Remove all jewelry.

4) Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

5) Keep motor cover in place.

6) Do not store turning tools where you must reach over therevolving workpiece toselect

them.

f, To avoid iniury from accidental starting always

turn switch off, unplug power cord, and remove switch key before removing the guard, installing

or removing the workpiece, accessory orattach- ment, or making any adjustments:

g. Toavoidlosing control ofthe turning tool causing

Injury:

1) Use both hands spaced apart and keep a firm hold of the turning toot.

2) Always support the turning tool directly on

the tool rest.

3) Always operate the lathe so that the top of

the workpiece turns toward you (clockwise facing the left side of the lathe).

4) Keep turning tools sharp.

5) Never start a cut directly at the end where it may catch the workpiece.

6) Always use both hands spaced apart along turning tool for leverage and balance.

Plan your hand placement so your hands will

not be where a sudden slip could cause them to contact the workpiece.

To avoid an electrical shock, make sure your

fingers do not touch the metal prongs on the plug when installing or removing the plug to or

from a live outlet.

Never turn your lathe "ON" before clearing the

area ofall objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).

3, WHENEVER LATHE IS RUNNING

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre- quent use of your wood lathe) cause a careless mistake. Always remember that a careless frac.

tion of a second Is enough to cause severe Injury.

a, If your lathe makes an unfamiliar noise or if it

vibrates excessively, turn off the lathe im- mediately. Remove switch key, Do not restart until the problem is corrected,

b, Position turning tool so it will not chatter or

kickback,

c, Always stand to the side of the turning tool. d, Never position your face over the turning tool. e. Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden

slip could cause a hand to move into the workpiece.

f, Complete hand sanding of spindle turnings

BEFORE removing from the lathe using the

same or slower turning speed,

g, Never leave the lathe work area without turning

the lathe off, removing the switch key and wait- ing for the lathe to come to a complete stop.

4. To avoid injury use only recommended accessories listed in the accessory section.

a, Do not mount and use a reamer, milling cutter,

wire wheel, buffing wheel or a drill bit on the

headstock spindle.

b, Use the drill chuck accessory on the tall stock

only.

c. Do not mount any drill that extends more than

6" beyond the chuck jaws.
