alertness at all times
when the Lathe is being used.

YOUR LATHE
UNTIL
IT IS COMPLETELY
ASSEMBLED
AND
INSTALLED
ACCORDING

5. The Lathe and motor must be bolted down to a stand
or workbench for stability.
6. Protection:
Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body
a,
Wear safety gogglesthat comply
with ANS Z87.1-
t968,
and a face shield if operation
is dusty.
Wear ear plugs or muffs during extended periods
of operation.
b,
When turning between centers or on the face plate,
always rough-out
"out
of round"
workpieces at
slow speed. Running the Lathe too fast, so that it
vibrates, could cause the workpiece to be thrown
from
the Lathe . . . or the turning
tool to be
jerked from your hands.
C.
Always
revolve the workplace
by hand before
turning on the motor,
tf the workplece strikes the
tool rest, it could split and be thrown
out of the
Lathe.
d.
Do not allow the turning
tool to "bite"
into the
workpiece
which
could result in splitting
of the
workpiece
or the workpiece
being thrown
from
the Lathe. Always position
the tool rest above the
centedine of the Lathe for spindle turning, Do not
apply the turning
tool to the workpiece below the
level of the tool rest.
e.
Do not run the Lathe in the wrong direction, This
could cause the turning
tool to be thrown
from
your hands. The Lathe must run in a direction
so
that the workpiece turns toward you.
Before
attaching
a workpiece
to
the
face
plate
always
"rough
it out"
to as "true
round"
as pos-
sible.
This
will
minimize
vibration
while
turning.
Always
fasten
the
workpiece
securely
to the face
plate,
Failure
to perform
these
set-up
operations
could
cause the workpiece
to be thrown
from
the Lathe.
g. Avoid
awkward
hand positions,
where a sudden
slip could cause a hand to move into the work-
piece.

before installing
work-
piece between
centers or
on the face
plate.
i.
Never
leave the Lathe
work
area with the power
on before
the Lathe has come to a complete
stop,
or without
removing
and storing
the switch key.
j.
Never operate
the Lathe with protective
cover
on
the
unused
shaft
end
of
the
motor
removed,
Hang
your
turning
tools on the wall toward
the tail-
stock
end of the Lathe.
Do not lay them
on the bench
so that you
must
reach
over the revolving
workpiece
to select them,
Keep firm
hold
and control
of the turning
tool
at all
times. Special
caution
must be exercised
when knots
or voids are exposed
to the turning
tool.
