Safety Guidelines Specific to Woodturning
Preparation Guidelines
1.
USE EYE AND HEAD PROTECTION
: Always wear a safety face shield and goggles that comply with ANSI
Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 standards. Common eyeglasses are not safety glasses and may not provide
adequate protection.
2.
REDUCE DUST EXPOSURE.
Always wear a dust mask when turning wood. If a dust collection system is
available, place a dust hood close to the workpiece to extract the dust produced.
3.
USE HEARING PROTECTION.
Wear noise-reduction earplugs or earmuffs when the noise level in the
work area exceeds the level of exposure allowed in Section 1910.95 of the OSHA Regulations. When
in doubt, use the ear production device.
4.
OTHER PERSONAL PROTECTION ADVISORIES
: Before starting the lathe, remove tie, rings, watch, and
other jewelry. Roll up sleeves above elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair.
Protective footwear should be used. Do not wear gloves unless it is instructed to perform specific
steps in the manual.
5.
ONLY USE MATERIALS THAT CAN TURN SAFELY ON A WOOD LATHE.
Avoid turning blanks that can
disintegrate during operation. Avoid blanks with cracks or loose parts that can break up or cause a
catch while turning. Do not turn treated lumber or anything that contains harmful chemicals. This
wood lathe operates at a higher speed than a typical metal lathe, and it is not suitable for turning or
spinning metals.
6.
Glued Up TURNING.
Use high-quality adhesive to attach segmented/laminated pieces. Make certain
that the adhesive is completely cured before turning. A workpiece containing any decorating materials
weaker than the wood itself can significantly impact the structural integrity of the workpiece.
7.
USE PROPER LIFTING METHODS.
For mounting heavy blanks, use proper lifting techniques and
machinery to lift them and securely mount them on the lathe.
8.
REMOVE LARGE ROUGH EDGES AND CORNERS.
Before roughing a large workpiece, remove the
corners along the length of the blank.
9.
SECURE ALL PARTS.
Secure the workpiece, tool rest, banjo, tailstock, chuck, faceplate, drive/live
centers, extension bed, and other parts that may come loose while turning. Failure to do so may cause
the workpiece to dislodge at high speed or a severe catch.
10.
FACEPLATE.
The faceplate must be at least 1/3 of the diameter of the workpiece. Use strong, epoxy-
coated fasteners for a secure mount and easy removal. Predrill the mounting holes for hardwood to
avoid breaking the fastener and destroying the workpiece.
11.
ADJUST TOOL REST.
Adjust the tool rest so that the cutting tool can be safely presented to the
workpiece without excessive overhanging. At the same time, the tool rest must stay far enough from
the workpiece, so the tool is not only supported by its bevel. Before starting the motor, rotate the
blank for one full resolution to ensure the tool rest is not impeding the rotation of the blank.
12.
REMOVE ADJUSTMENT TOOLS:
Remove the tools for setting up the workpiece for turning. Chuck keys,
wrenches, and other tools for setting the workpiece must be removed before starting the lathe.
13.
CHECK CLEARANCE:
Hand rotate the mounted workpiece on the lathe for at least one full revolution
to ensure it does not catch on any parts of that lathe.
