9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make

sure your extension cord is in good condi­tion. Conductor size should be in accor­dance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace exten­sion cords if they become damaged.

Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also

use face or dust mask if cutting operation
is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have

Additional Safety Instructions For Lathes

No list of safety guidelines can be com­plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies to
your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip­ment or poor work results.

Operating this equipment has the potential
to propel debris into the air which can
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass­es or goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass­es you wear meet the appropriate stan­dards of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).

1. MAKE SURE ALL GUARDS are in place

and that the Lathe sits on a flat, stable sur­face.

2. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION or a

face shield when operating the Lathe. Use
a respirator to avoid inhaling dust. All safe­ty equipment should be ANSI approved.

3. BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE be

certain the workpiece has been properly
imbedded on the headstock and tailstock
centers and that there is adequate clear­ance for the full rotation.

4. ADJUST TOOL REST to provide proper

support for the turning tool you will be
using. Test tool rest clearance by rotating
workpiece by hand before turning lathe on.

5. SELECT THE TURNING SPEED which is

appropriate for the type of work. Allow the
lathe to gain its full speed before beginning
turning.

6. ALWAYS OBSERVE THE CONDITION of

the materials you are turning. Pay particu­lar attention to knots, splits and other
potentially dangerous conditions.

7. WHEN FACE PLATE TURNING, use

lathe chisels on the downward spinning
side of the workpiece only.

8. NEVER OPERATE THE LATHE WITH

DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS. Maintain

your lathe in proper working condition.
Perform routine inspections and mainte­nance promptly when called for. Put away
adjustment tools after use.

9. MAKE SURE YOUR WOOD LATHE IS

TURNED OFF, disconnected from its power

source and all moving parts have come to a
complete stop before starting any inspec­tion, adjustment, or maintenance proce­dure.

10. DO NOT LEAVE LATHE RUNNING UNAT­TENDED for any reason.

11. DO NOT STOP LATHE USING YOUR
HAND against the workpiece.

12. KEEP LOOSE CLOTHING ARTICLES

such as sleeves, belts or jewelry items away
from the lathe spindle.

ing sanding or polishing operations on the
rotating spindle.
