USE SAFETY GOGGLES AND EAR PROTECTION:
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH CUL
REQUIREMENTS. FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage.
The tool is loud and the sound can cause hearing damage. Always
wear ear protection to help prevent hearing damage and loss. Failure
to comply may result in moderate injury.
USE DUST MASK:
Some dust created by sawing contains chemicals that are known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals come from lead-based paints; crystalline silica from
bricks, cement and other masonry products; and arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber. To reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in a
well-ventilated area with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with a green outer surface,
with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
CAUTION!
In all cases, verify that the outlet in question is properly grounded. if you are not sure,
have a licensed electrician check the outlet.
• ALWAYS WEAR eye protection.
• DO NOT wear gloves, necktie or loose clothing.
• TIGHTEN all locks before operating.
• DO NOT mount a split workpiece.
• USE the lowest speed when starting a new workpiece.
• READ the warning label attached to the lathe.
• WHEN TURNING A WORKPIECE, always rough the wood to round form at slow
speed. If the lathe vibrates when running, there is a risk that the workpiece will
be thrown or the tool jerked from your hands.
• 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.
• DO NOT allow the turning tools to bite into the wood. The wood could split or be
thrown from the lathe.
• ALWAYS POSITION the tool rest above the centreline of the lathe when shaping
a piece of stock.
• DO NOT operate the lathe if it is rotating in the wrong direction. The workpiece
must always be rotating toward you.
• BEFORE ATTACHING a workpiece to the faceplate, always rough it out to make
it as rough as possible. This minimizes vibrations while the piece 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.
• POSITION your hands so that they will not slip onto the workpiece.
• REMOVE all loose knots in the stock before mounting it between the centres or
on the faceplate.
• DO NOT LEAVE A RUNNING LATHE UNATTENDED. Leave the work area only after
the motor has come to a full stop.
• HANG your turning tools on the wall beyond the tailstock end of the lathe. Do not
lay them on the bench so that you must reach over the revolving workpiece to
select them.
• KEEP A FIRM HOLD and remain in control of the cutting tool at all times. Take
special precautions when shaping a section of stock in which knots or voids
are found.
• COMPLETE the hand-sanding of all workpieces before removing them from the
lathe.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when changing accessories, such
as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
