General Safety Rules
Please operate the lathe with awareness of the potential for injury. If you have any doubts
about safety, please contact your local dealer before using.
Warning! Failure to follow the listed rules may result in serious personal injury.
TO ENSURE SAFE USE, READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE TOOL.
ALWAYS USE A FULL-FACE SHIELD. A full-face shield will protect your eyes and face.
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN and have good lighting.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets or other jewelry, which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is
also recommended. Secure long hair.
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE from the power supply before servicing and changing
accessories.
NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED. Do not leave the lathe
unless it is turned “OFF” and completely stopped.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not use a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
intended or designed.
TIGHTEN ALL CLAMP HANDLES on the headstock, tailstock, and the tool rest before
operating the lathe.
Before turning a large wood piece, it is advisable to reduce the excess before mounting
the stock to the lathe. When turning a large wood piece, the turner should not stand in
line with the workpiece in order to avoid being struck by a wood piece ejected by an
imbalance.
Hold the tool handle firmly to avoid the rebound.
