13. If the operator leaves the machine area for any reason, the lathe should be turned "off" and the head
should come to a complete stop before their departure. In addition, if the operation is complete, both
the lathe and work area should be cleaned. NEVER clean the lathe with power "on" and never use
hands to clear sawdust and debris; use a brush or air hose.

19. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paint.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
