Specific
safety
rules
for
the
wood
lathe
WARNING:
DO
NOT
OPERATE
YOUR
WOOD
LATHE
UNTIL
IT
IS
COMPLETELY
ASSEMBLED
AND
INSTALLED
ACCORDING
TO
THE
INSTRUCTIONS.
1.
For
your
own
safety,
read
the
entire
instruction
manual
before
operating
the
lathe.
2. ALWAYS wear eye protection.
3. Do not wear gloves, necktie, or loose clothing.
4. lighten all locks before operating.
5. Do not mount a split workpiece.
6.
Use
the
lowest
speed
when
starting
a
new
workpiece.
7.
Read
the
warning
label
attached
to
the
wood
lathe.
8.
When
turning
a
workpiece,
always
rough
the
wood
to
round
form
at
slow
speed.
If
the
lathe
is
run
so
fast
that
it
vibrates,
there
is
a
risk
that
the
workpiece
will
be
thrown
or
the tool jerked from your hands.
9.
Always
rotate
the
workpiece
by
hand
before
turning
on
the
motor.
If
the
workpiece
strikes
the
tool
rest,
it
could
split
and
be
thrown
out
of
the
lathe.
10.
Do
not
allow
the
turning
tools
to
bite
into
the
wood.
The
wood
could
split
or
be
thrown
from
the
lathe.
11,
Always
position
the
tool
rest
above
the
centerline
of
the
lathe
when
shaping
a
piece
of
stock.
12.
Do
not
operate
the
lathe
if it
is
rotating
in
the
wrong
direction.
The
workpiece
must
always
be
rotating
toward
you.
13.
Before
attaching
a
workpiece
to
the
faceplate,
always
rough
it
out
to
make
it
as
round
as
possible.
This
minimizes
the
vibrations
while
the
pieca
is
being
turned.
Always
fasten
the
workpiece
securely
to
the
faceplate.
Failure
to
do
so
could
result
in
the
workpiece
being
thrown
from
the
lathe.
14.
Position
your
hands
so
that
they
will
not
slip
onto
the
workpicce.
15.
Remove
all
loose knots
in
the
stock
before
mounting
it
between
the
centers
or
on
the
faceplate.
