Lathe Safety Warnings
Maintain labels and nameplates on
1.
the Lathe. These carry important
safety information. If unreadable or
missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools
for a replacement.
Do not run the Lathe without its cov-
2.
ers and guards in place.
Tighten all locks before operating.
3.
Do not mount a split workpiece.
4.
Use the lowest speed when starting a
5.
new workpiece.
Always stop the Lathe at its slow-
6.
est speed. If the Lathe is run so fast
that it vibrates, there is a risk that the
workpiece will be thrown or the cut-
ting tool jerked from your hands.
Always rotate the workpiece by hand
7.
before turning on the Lathe. If the
workpiece strikes the tool rest, it
could split and be thrown out of the
Lathe.
Do not allow cutting tools to bite into
8.
the workpiece. The wood could be
split or thrown from the Lathe.
Always position the tool rest above
9.
the centerline of the Lathe when
shaping a piece of stock.
Before attaching a workpiece to the
10.
faceplate, always rough it out to
make it as round as possible. This
minimizes the vibrations while the
piece is being turned. Always fasten
the workpiece securely to the face-
plate. Failure to do so could result
in the workpiece being thrown away
from the Lathe.
Remove all loose knots in the work-
11.
piece before mounting between the
centers or on the faceplate.
Position your hands so they will not
12.
slip onto the workpiece when the
Lathe is running.
Use a brush or compressed air to
13.
remove wood shavings; never your
hands. The wood shavings will be
sharp.
The cutting tool must always be tight
14.
within the tool post or chuck and
adjusted to limit projection from the
post. This will reduce the possibility
of the tool breaking or bending.
