or mounting fixtures, and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do

SPECIAL WARNINGS WHEN USING THIS BENCH LATHE
Using this Bench Lathe may create special hazards.
Take particular care to safeguard yourself and those around you.
Electrical Safety. Never operate any tool if there is an electrical hazard. Never oper-
ate an electrical tool in wet conditions. Never operate a tool with an improper electrical cord
or extension cord. Never operate an electrical tool unless you are plugged into a properly
grounded outlet, which
supplies 115 Volts at 60 Hz. We recommend you use a circuit
which is protected by an appropriate circuit breaker.
Ejected Material. Use safe practices to avoid injury from ejected material. Because the
lathe and the workpieces turn at high speed, there is a danger of being injured by materi-
als that may be ejected. Always wear ANSI-certified eye protection. Never attempt to work
on any item if it is not adequately held. Always stand to one side of the plane in which the
materials are spinning, to avoid being hit if an item is ejected. Never allow bystanders to be
in the proximity of the lathe while in operation.
Entanglement. Use extreme caution to prevent loose materials from being caught in
the machine. Never operate this lathe with loose clothing, long hair, jewelry, or other items
which may become caught in the tools or workpieces. In case of entanglement, press the
OFF switch immediately.
NOTICE: No list of warnings can be all inclusive. The operator must supply
common sense, and operate this tool in a safe manner.
