W1758 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 3/10)
Always wear an approved face shield when operating this lathe.
Always wear a respirator rated for wood dust when using this lathe.
Wood dust may cause allergies or long-term respiratory health problems.
Before starting the lathe, be certain the workpiece has been properly
embedded on the headstock and tailstock centers or faceplate, and that there is adequate clearance
for full rotation of the workpiece.
Adjust tool rest to provide proper support for the turning tool in use. Test
tool rest clearance by rotating workpiece by hand before starting lathe.
Select the correct turning speed for your operation, and allow the lathe to gain the
desired speed before applying turning tool.
Keep lathe chisels properly sharpened and held firmly in position against the
tool rest when using.
Never operate the lathe with damaged or worn parts.
Make sure lathe is disconnected from power and the spindle has come
to a complete stop before starting any inspection, adjustment, or maintenance procedures.
DO NOT attempt to stop the lathe by using your hand against the workpiece, face
plate, or spindle. Allow the lathe to stop on its own.
Keep long hair and loose clothing, belts, jewelry away from lathe during
operation. Tie back long hair and button long sleeves. DO NOT wear gloves during lathe operations.
When faceplate turning, use lathe chisels on the downward spinning side of
the workpiece only.
Always use the tool rest and extension to safely support turning tools when
doing outboard turning. If the provided tool rest assembly will not safely reach the workpiece, use a
free-standing tool rest. Never use the lathe without proper turning tool rest support.
DO NOT turn stock with knots, splits, and other potentially dangerous condi-
tions. Make sure glue joints have high quality bonds and will not fly apart during lathe operation.
