Operation Guidelines
1.
STAY ALERT
at all times. Do not operate this machine while under the influence of drugs/alcohol or
when not feeling well.
2.
ALWAYS START WITH THE LOWEST SPEED AND CORRECT ROTATION DIRECTION.
Before starting the
lathe, set the speed to the lowest and check the rotation direction.
3.
SET PROPER SPEED.
Stand on the side of the lathe and gradually increase speed to the desired
operating speed. Begin work only when the workpiece is spinning on the lathe without excessive
vibration. Use low speed for roughing. Also, use low speed when turning large, heavy, or irregular-
shaped workpieces.
4.
USE CORRECT TOOLS.
Never use tools that are not designed for specific type of turning. For instance,
using a spindle roughing gouge for bowl turning.
5.
PROPERLY PRESENT TOOL TO WORKPIECE.
Gouges, skews, scrapers, and other tools require different
techniques to operate. To avoid severe catches and injuries, please read the user manual of the
turning tools and consult accredited training resources to use the tool properly.
6.
ROUGHING.
Use low speed and take light cuts to remove the rough edges and corners of a workpiece.
Support the tool firmly and keep the tool close to the center of the tool rest.
7.
KEEP TOOLS SHARP.
Turning tools can become dull quickly after minutes of use. Make sure the tools
are resharpened frequently. Sharp tools can cut with less resistance, reducing the risk of catching and
breaking the workpiece.
8.
MEASURE THE WORKPIECE SAFELY.
Do not measure the diameter, thickness, or depth of a workpiece
while it is spinning on the lathe. The measurement tool can catch the workpiece and get pulled from
the woodturner’s hand
.
9.
MEASURE WORKPIECE THICKNESS FREQUENTLY.
Pay attention to the
change of thickness of the
workpiece when turning. Turning a workpiece too thin can cause it to disintegrate and eject from the
lathe.
10.
SANDING AND POLISHING.
To reduce the risk of entanglement, avoid using a large piece of sandpaper
that can wrap around the workpiece. Do not reach inside deep cavities of a workpiece with a bare
hand for sanding.
11.
DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM
is recommended. Install a screen in front of the dust port to avoid large
pieces of debris entering the dust collection system and jamming it.
12.
DEBRIS REMOVAL.
When debris is stuck on or inside a workpiece, turn off the lathe and wait for the
workpiece to come to a complete stop, then remove the debris with compressed air or a brush.
13.
STOP THE LATHE
when leaving the lathe unattended for any reason. Always set the speed to the
lowest before pressing the stop button. Doing so prevents the lathe from starting at an unexpected
speed in the future. Wait
until the machine comes to a complete stop before leaving the machine.
Never attempt to stop the lathe by hand or using another object.
After Operation
1.
CLEAN UP
the work area at least once a day after turning. Woodturning creates a lot of loose chips
and debris. Removing the debris reduces the risk of fire, pest infestation, and rusting of tools.
2.
LOCK UP.
Unplug the lathe and lock the workshop to prevent children and unexpected guests from
accidentally starting the lathe.
