Additional Safety for Copy Attachments
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.
SECURING WORKPIECE. An improperly secured
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.
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 cut-
ting tools— they cut with less resistance than dull
tools. Dull cutting tools can catch or grab and
cause workpiece to break apart.
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 ar e co mp lete ly s top pe d
before doing adjustments or maintenance.
MEASURING WORKPIECE. Only measure work-
piece after it has stopped. Trying to measure a
spinning workpiece increases entanglement risk.
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:
