Do not press the workpiece too firmly with
the tailstock or the bearings will bind and
overheat. Do not adjust the tailstock too
loosely or the workpiece will spin off the
lathe. Use good judgment and care, other-
wise, serious personal injury could result
from the workpiece being ejected at high
speeds.
11. Properly adjust tool rest to workpiece (see
Adjusting Tool Rest on Page 30).
12. Before beginning lathe operation, rotate
workpiece by hand to ensure there is safe
clearance on all sides.
Keep lathe tool resting on tool rest the
ENTIRE time it is in contact with workpiece
or when preparing to make contact between
lathe tool and workpiece. Otherwise, spin-
ning workpiece could force lathe tool out
of your hands or entangle your hands with
workpiece. Failure to heed this warning
could result in serious personal injury.

Spindle Turning Tips:

When turning the lathe ON, stand away from
•
the path of the spinning workpiece until the
spindle reaches full speed and you can verify
that the workpiece will not come loose.
• Use the slowest speed when starting or stop-
ping the lathe.
• Select the right speed for the size of workpiece
that you are turning (refer to Figure 38 on
Page 35).
• Keep the turning tool on the tool rest the
ENTIRE time that it is in contact with the
workpiece.
• Learn the correct techniques for each tool
you will use. If you are unsure about how to
use the lathe tools, read books or magazines
about lathe techniques, and seek training
from experienced and knowledgeable lathe
users.
Eye injuries or respiratory problems can
occur while operating this tool. Wear per-
sonal protective equipment to reduce your
risk from these hazards.
