OWNER’S MANUAL

Mini Metal Lathe 7 x 12

OWNER’S MANUAL

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

insulated and contact will cause electrical shock.

•  Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and 

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

•  Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will 

increase the risk of electric shock.

•  Do not abuse the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry the tools or pull the plug 

from an outlet. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. 

Replace damaged power cords immediately. Damaged power cords increase the risk of 

electric shock.

•  When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cords marked “W-A” or “W”. 

These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.

CAUTION:

MINI METAL LATHE USE AND CARE

•  Do not force the product. Products do a better and safer job when used in the manner for 

which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job.

•  Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the product will operate 

properly and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. 

Never operate the product with a damaged part.

•  Do not use a product with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled 

with the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service 

representative before using.

•  Disconnect the power/air supply from the product and place the switch in the locked or off 

position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such 

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

•  Store the product when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of 

children. Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.

•  Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product. 

Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with 

another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure 

than the tool itself.

•  Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the product without the guards in 

place.

•  Do not leave the tool running unattended.

Specific Operation Warnings

WARNING:

•  To prevent serious injury or property damage read owner’s manual before operating. 

•  DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry, gloves, or unrestrained hair that may get caught in 

moving parts of the machine.

•  Wear the proper safety gear including ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection.

•  Moving Parts Hazard. Keep hands clear of spindle chuck and work piece.

•  Remove keys and adjusting wrenches before starting the machine.

•  Feed cutter into work piece against direction of rotation.

•  Always secure work piece before machining operation.

•  DO NOT operate without guards in place.

•  Electric shock hazard. Be sure equipment is properly grounded. 

•  Turn power OFF before servicing.

•  Wait for machine to come to a complete stop before changing  gears.

•  Not for use by or around children.

Grounding

WARNING:

•  This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.  

This drill press is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor 

and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly 

installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

•  DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper 

receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

•  CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the 

grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

Grounded Tools: Tools with 3-Prong Plugs

Tools marked with Grounding Required have a 3-wire cord and 3-prong grounding plug. The 

plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction 

or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the 

user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)

The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the 

grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the 

tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically live terminal. 

Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in 

accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the 

following illustration.

Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two-Prong Plugs

Tools marked Double Insulated do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation 

system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of 

Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical 

Code. (See Figure B.)

Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following 

illustration.

Extension Cords

WARNING:

•  USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. 

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your 

product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of 

power and cause overheating.
