Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine.
This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup
or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating or
observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye
injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

Always discon-

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid
accidental slips, which could cause loss of work­piece control.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece material,
and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect
machine for any condition that may affect safe
operation. Immediately repair or replace damaged
or mis-adjusted parts before operating machine.

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly.

Additional Safety for Copy Attachments

MAIN INJURY HAZARDS: Death or crushing injury from getting entangled in rotating lathe
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:

LATHE OPERATIONS. Refer to your lathe own-

er’s manual for all lathe related operations.

PROPER SETUP. Ensure copy attachment is
properly setup and adjusted before operating.

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.

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.

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 cutting tool. Take light
cuts, use low speeds.

SHARP CUTTING TOOLS. Only use sharp cut­ting tools— they cut with less resistance than dull
tools. Dull cutting tools can catch or grab and
cause workpiece to break apart.

SECURING WORKPIECE. A n im pr op erl y se cu re d
workpiece can fly off spindle with deadly force.
Use proven setup techniques and always verify
workpiece is well-secured before starting lathe.

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.

SAFE CLEARANCES. Before starting spindle,
verify workpiece has adequate clearance by
hand-rotating it through its entire range of motion.

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 l et e ly s to p 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.
