Important Safety Information

WARNING:

•  Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions may result in serious 

injury or property damage.

•  The warnings, cautions, and instructions in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions 

or situations that could occur. Exercise common sense and caution when using this tool. 

Always be aware of the environment and ensure that the tool is used in a safe and 

responsible manner.

•  Do not allow persons to operate or assemble the product until they have read this manual 

and have developed a thorough understanding of how it works.

•  Do not modify this product in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function 

and/or safety and could affect the life of the product. There are specific applications for 

which the product was designed. 

•  Use the right tool for the job. DO NOT attempt to force small equipment to do the work of 

larger industrial equipment. There are certain applications for which this equipment was 

designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the capacity for which it was intended. 

DO NOT use this equipment for a purpose for which it was not intended.

•  Industrial or commercial applications must follow OSHA requirements.

WARNING:

•  This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth 

defects or other reproductive harm.

•  Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction 

activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, 

or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

 

- lead from lead-based paints,

 

- crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

 

- arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

 Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of 

work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area, and 

work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed 

to filter out microscopic particles. 

•  Handling power cords on corded products may expose you to lead, a chemical known to the 

State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash your 

hands after handling.

WARNING:

WORK AREA SAFETY

•  Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well lit. 

Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the mini metal lathe in confined 

work areas may put you dangerously close to other cutting tools and rotating parts.

•  Do not use the mini metal lathe where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in 

the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product can create sparks, which may 

ignite the flammable liquids, gases, or dust.

•  Do not allow the mini metal lathe to come into contact with an electrical source. The tool is 

not insulated and contact will cause electrical shock.

•  Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow 

children to handle the mini metal lathe.

•  Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in 

your work area. Some of these hazards may be hidden from your view and may cause 

personal injuryand/or property damage if contacted.

WARNING:

PERSONAL SAFETY

•  Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the tool. Do 

not use the tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A 

moment of inattention while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury.

•  Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, 

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be 

caught in moving parts. Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be 

avoided.

•  Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant 

safety goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a 

dust mask in dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust 

collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in 

the work area.

•  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

•  Do not use the tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

•  Ensure the power switch is off prior to plugging in the tool.

•  Remove keys or wrenches before connecting the tool to an air supply, power supply, or 

turning on the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may 

cause personal injury.

•  Secure the work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand when practical. This safety 

precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.

WARNING:

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

•  Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance 

with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any 

way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to 

whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break 

down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

•  Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). 

This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, 

reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized 

outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three 

wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
