1. AVOIDING INJURY: Read and understand this manual before operating this lathe.
2. AVOIDING LACERATIONS AND ENTANGLEMENT: Do not clear chips by hand. Use a brush, and never
clear chips while the lathe is turning.
3. USING CORRECT TOOLING: Always select the right cutter for the job, and make sure cutters are
sharp. The right tool decreases strain on the lathe components and provides a better finish.
4. ELIMINATING A PROJECTILE HAZARD: Always remove chuck key. Never walk away from the lathe
with the key in the chuck.
5. SECURING A WORKPIECE: Make sure workpiece is properly held in chuck before starting lathe. A
workpiece thrown from the chuck will cause severe injury.
6. CHUCK SAFETY: Chucks are surprisingly heavy and awkward to hold, so protect your hands and the
lathe ways. Always use a chuck cradle or piece of plywood over the lathe ways.
7. WORKPIECE SUPPORT: Support a long workpiece if it extends from the headstock so it will not
wobble violently when the lathe is turned on. When machining, a workpiece that extends more than
2.5 times its diameter must be supported by a center or steady rest.
8. AVOIDING STARTUP INJURIES: Make sure workpiece, cutting tool, and tool post have adequate
clearance before starting lathe. Check chuck clearance and saddle clearance before starting the
lathe. Make sure spindle RPM is set correctly for part diameter before starting the lathe. Large
parts can be ejected from the chuck if the chuck speed is set too high.
9. ELIMINATING A PROJECTILE HAZARD: Always use the appropriate feed and speed rates.
10. AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT INJURIES: Never attempt to slow or stop the lathe chuck by hand, and
tie back long hair, ponytails, loose clothing, and sleeves so they do not dangle.
11. MAINTAINING A SAFE WORKPLACE: Never leave lathe unattended while it is running.
12. GI<M<EK@E>8E8GIFE$:?L:B:I8J?1 Always release automatic feeds after completing a job.
