1.3.
WOOD CUTTING SAFETY
Remove all loose wood knots before mounting workpiece on the lathe.
!
Fasten the workpiece securely to the faceplate or between centres before turning on the lathe. Wrong set-up procedures may cause the
!
workpiece to be thrown from the lathe, which may cause personal injury.
To confirm that the workpiece will not hit any part of the lathe always rotate it by hand before turning on the motor.
!
Rough out a workpiece to be as true and round as possible before attaching to the faceplate. This will minimise vibration.
!
Initially turn "out of round" workpieces at a slow speed. Running the lathe too fast will cause vibration, which may result in the
!
workpiece being thrown from the lathe, or the tool to be pulled from your hand.
Avoid awkward hand positions, care must be taken to stop your hands from slipping onto the rotating workpiece.
!
Keep a firm control of the cutting tool. Care must be exercised when wood knots or voids are exposed to the turning tool.
!
Complete any hand sanding before removing the workpiece from the lathe. Ensure that the lathe speed during sanding does not exceed
!
the speed used for the last cutting operation performed on that same workpiece.
DO NOT store, or lay, work tools in such a way that you must reach over the lathe, or the workpiece, to select them. Hang or store the
#
turning tools at the tail stock end of the lathe.
DO NOT allow the tool to "bite" into the workpiece as the wood may split, or be thrown from the lathe.
#
For spindle turning, always position the tool rest above the centre line of the lathe. DO NOT apply the turning tool to the workpiece below
!
the level of the rest itself.
DO NOT run the lathe in the wrong direction. This could cause the turning tool to be thrown from your hands. The workpiece surface must
#
be moving downwards past the tool rest.
" WARNING! DO NOT remount a workpiece if the original centres of the workpiece have been altered or removed.
Having remounted a workpiece where NO alteration has been made to the original centres, the lathe must be set to the lowest speed
before turning it on.
DO NOT mount a workpiece that contains splits, checks or loose knots.
#
DO NOT switch on the lathe whilst the tool is in contact with the workpiece.
#
" WARNING! Keep alert. DO NOT allow familiarity (from frequent use) to cause a mistake. Remember, a careless second is
sufficient to inflict serious damage and/or personal injury.
