Safety for Wood Lathes

MAIN INJURY HAZARDS: Death or crushing injury from getting entangled in rotating spindle or workpiece; death, blindness, or broken bones from being struck by a workpiece that breaks apart or comes loose during rotation, turning tool kickback, or flying wood chips. To minimize your risk of these hazards, always heed the following warning information:

INTEGRITY OF STOCK. Verify each workpiece

is free of knots, splits, nails, or foreign material to ensure it can safely rotate on spindle without breaking apart or causing turning tool kickback.

WORKPIECE PREPARATION. Before mounting, cut off waste portions with a bandsaw or other tool to ensure workpiece has no large edges to catch turning tool, and it will rotate without dangerous wobbling.

SECURING LOCKS. Verify tool rest, headstock, and tailstock are secure before turning lathe ON.

SECURING WORKPIECE. An im pro per l y s ecu red workpiece can fly off spindle with deadly force. Use proven setup techniques and always verify workpiece is well-secured before starting lathe. Only use high-quality fasteners with non-tapered heads for faceplate attachment.

TOOL SUPPORT. An improperly supported tool may be grabbed or ejected. Adjust tool rest approximately above workpiece center line to provide proper support for turning tool. Firmly hold turning tool with both hands against tool rest.

TOOL KICKBACK. Occurs when turning tool is ejected from workpiece with great force, striking operator or bystanders. Commonly caused by poor workpiece selection/preparation, improper tool usage, or improper machine setup or tool rest adjustment.

ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Remove all chuck keys, wrenches, and adjustment tools before turning lathe ON. A tool left on the lathe can become a deadly projectile when spindle is started.

⁄4" away from workpiece and 1⁄8"

EYE/FACE PROTECTION. Always wear a face shield and safety glasses when operating lathe.

PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear gloves, necktie or loose clothing. Keep keep long hair away from rotating spindle.

SPEED RATES. Select correct spindle speed for workpiece size, type, shape, and condition. Use low speeds when roughing or when turning large, long, or non-concentric workpieces. Allow spindle to reach full speed before turning.

NEW SETUPS. Test each new setup by starting spindle rotation at the lowest speed and standing to the side of the lathe until workpiece reaches full speed and you can verify safe rotation.

ROUGHING. Use correct tool. Take light cuts, use low speeds, and firmly support tool with both hands.

SHARP TOOLS. Only use sharp turning tools— they cut with less resistance than dull tools. Dull turning tools can catch or grab and pull your hands into the rotating workpiece.

STOPPING SPINDLE. Always allow spindle to completely stop on its own. Never put hands or another object on spinning workpiece.

ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE. Make sure wood lathe is turned OFF, disconnected from power, and all moving parts a re c o m p le te ly st op pe d before doing adjustments or maintenance.

MEASURING WORKPIECE. Only measure workpiece after it has stopped. Trying to measure a spinning workpiece increases entanglement risk.

SAFE CLEARANCES. Before starting spindle, verify workpie ce has adequate clearance by handrotating it through its entire range of motion.

SANDING/POLISHING. To reduce entanglement risk, remove tool rest before sanding. Never completely wrap sandpaper around workpiece.

Safety for Chucks

ENTANGLEMENT. Entanglement with a rotat-

ing chuck can lead to death, amputation, broken bones, or other serious injury. Never attempt to slow or stop the lathe chuck by hand, and always roll up long sleeves, tie back long hair, and remove any jewelry or loose apparel BEFORE operating.

CHUCK SPEED RATING. Excessive spindle speeds greatly increase the risk of the workpiece or chuck being thrown from the machine with deadly force. Never use spindle speeds faster than the safe limits of your chuck and workpiece.

USING CORRECT EQUIPMENT. Many workpieces can only be safely turned in a lathe if additional support equipment, such as a tailstock center, is used. If the operation is too hazardous to be completed with the lathe or existing equipment, the operator must have enough experience to know when to use a different machine or find a safer way.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Using a chuck incorrectly can result in workpieces coming loose at high speeds and striking the operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of this hazard, read and understand this document and seek additional training from an experienced chuck user before using a chuck.

CHUCK CAPACITY. Avoid exceeding the capacity of the chuck by clamping an oversized workpiece. If the workpiece is too large to safely clamp with the chuck, use a faceplate or a larger chuck if possible. Otherwise, the workpiece could be thrown from the lathe during operation, resulting in serious impact injury or death.

CLAMPING FORCE. Inadequate clamping force can lead to the workpiece being thrown from the chuck and striking the operator or bystanders. Maximum clamping force is achieved when the chuck is properly maintained and lubricated, all jaws are fully engaged with the workpiece, and the maximum chuck clamping diameter is not exceeded.

PROPER MAINTENANCE. All chucks must be properly maintained and lubricated to achieve maximum clamping force and withstand the rigors of centrifugal force. To reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece, follow all maintenance intervals and instructions in this document.

DISCONNECT POWER. Serious entanglement or impact injuries could occur if the lathe is started while you are adjusting, servicing, or installing the chuck. Always disconnect the lathe from power before performing these procedures.

TOP JAW TYPES. Mixing top jaw types will create an unbalanced and off-center load that could fly from the lathe and cause personal injury or property damage. Use all four top jaws of the same type when securing workpiece.

POWER TOOLS. Do not use power tools on cap screws or grip studs, which can easily damage the threads and cause the component to fail during operation. A workpiece or chuck component not properly secured can fly off during operation and cause serious personal injury.

TENON/RECESS SIZE. Size the tenon or recess properly and choose the correct jaw configuration so that there is the greatest possible amount of surface contact between jaws and workpiece. The greater the surface contact, the greater the gripping power!

FLAT JAWS. Flat jaws (or cole jaws) provide the least gripping power of the jaw types. Always use slow speeds when using flat jaws.

SAFETY SET SCREW. The safety set screw under bottom jaw #4 prevents the jaws from moving beyond safe engagement with the scroll gear. If this should happen, the jaws and workpiece could fly off the chuck during operation resulting in serious personal injury to operator or bystanders. Always make sure this set screw is properly installed and tightened when using the chuck.
