to a live terminal.

3, KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE

- in working order, and in proper adjustment and align-

men_.

4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES

Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting

wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN

8, MAKE WORKSHOP KID,PROOF Do not store mater als such that il is necessary to stand

- with padlocks, master switches, or ay removing starter

keys. 20. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS

9. USE PROPER SPEED Before further use of the Lathe, a guard or other part that

The Lathe win do the job better and safer when Operated at the proper speed, will operate properly and perform its intended function.

10, USE RIGHT TOOL

Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was no_ designed.

11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewetry

(rings; wristwatchest to get caught in moving parts.

NONSLIP footwear is recommended. Wear orotective hair covering to contain long hair. Roll long sleeves

aoove the elbow.

1Z USE SAFETY GOGGLES (Head Protection)

Wear safety goggles (must comply with ANSI Z87.1) at all times. Everyday eyeglasses only have im pact resistant len-

ses, they are NOT safety glasses. Also, use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty, and ear protectors

(plugs or muffs) durin_ extended periods of operation.

Mount workpiece securely between centers

addifiona safety instructions

[or wood turning lathes

Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all times when the Lathe is being used.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO 7. NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR LATHE

UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUC-

TIONS . , , AND UNTIL YOU HAVE READ 8. AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING:

PAGE

1. General Safety Instructions .................. 2

2, Getting to Know Your Lathe .............. 13

3. Basic Lathe Operation ................... 15

4. Maintenance ......................... 19

5. The Lathe and motor must be bolted down to astand or workbench for stability.

6. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body

a. Wear safety goggles that comply "with ANSI Z87.!

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 slow speed. Running the Lathe too fast, so that it

vibrates, could cause the workpiece to be thrown

from the Lathe , . . or the turning toot to be jerked from your hands.

c. Always revolve the workpiece by hand before turn-

_ng on the motor. If the workpiece strikes the tool 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 workpieee 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

Ievet of the tool 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 faceptate al-

ways "rough it out" to as "true round" as possible. This wilt minimize vibration while turning,

Always fasten the workplece 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 faeep!ate.

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.

j. Never operate the Lathe with protective cover or}

the unused shaft end of the motor removed.

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.

Keep firm hold and control of the turning tool at all times. Special caution must be exercised when knots or voids are exposed to the turning tool.

Note the following DANGER label which appears on the front of the belt guard.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY:

READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OWNER'S MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE:

1. WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES PER ANSI Z87.1

AND FACE SHIELD IF OPERATION IS

DUSTY,

2, DO NOT WEAR GLOVES, NECKTIES, OR

LOOSE CLOTHING. TIE BACK LONG HAIR.

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

WORKPIECE 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.

Think Safety.

Complete hand sanding of between*centers or facepbte mounted workpieces BEFORE removing f_om the

lathe. Do not exceed the speed used for the last cutting

operation performed on the workpiece, in accordance with the speed chart.

NEVER attempt to remount a faceplate turning to

the faeep!ate 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 is set at the lowest speed if

remounting a between centers turning with nomaItered or;ginal centers.

Use extra caution Jn mounting a between-centers or

spindle turning to the faceptate, or a faceplate turning

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

turning ON,

NEVER mount a workpiece that conta;ns any sp!its, checks, or loose knots to a facepiate or between

centers.

CAUTION: Do not use blower or washing machine motors or any motor with an automatic reset overload protector

as their use may be hazardous.

CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET

This machine must be grounded whi}e in use to protect the operator from electric shock,

Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded type outlet protected by a 15-amp, time delay or Circuit-Saver

fuse or circuit breaker.

If you ar_ not sure that your outlet is properly grounded,

have it checked by a qualified electrician.

WARNING: DO NOT PERMIT FINGERS TO TOUCH THE TERMINALS OF PLUGS WHEN INSTALLING OR

REMOVING THE PLUG TO OR FROM THE OUTLET.

WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THIS

POWER TOOL CAN INCUR THE POTENTIAL HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN

USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS IN PROXIMITY TO PLUMBING. IF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OCCURS THERE fS THE POTENTIAL OF A SECONDARY HAZ-

ARD SUCH AS YOUR HANDS CONTACTING THE CUTTING TOOL.

if power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

GROUNDING PRONG

This power too! is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and grounding type plug which has a grounding prong, approved by Underwriters' Laboratories, The ground conductor has a green jacket and is attached to the tool housing at one end and to the ground prong in the attachment plug at the

other end,

This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type outlet as shown.

tf the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool is of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG 1N ANY MANNER. Use an

adapter as shown and always connect the grounding lug to known ground.

It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician replace the TWO prong outiet with a properly grounded THREE prong outlet.

An adapter as shown below is available for connecting plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding tug extending from the adapter must be connected to a per-

manent ground such as to a properly grounded outlet box.

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-

heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to deter- mine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord. Use

only 3 wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacJes which accept the tools p_ug.
