are careless acts that can result in serious injury.

overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation. Never force the cutting action.
23. Do not operate the lathe in flammable or explosive environments. Do not use in a damp
environment or expose to rain.
24. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and more safely.
