Additional Safety Instructions for the use of
Faceplates
• Ensure that the faceplate is the appropriate size to
support the workpiece.
•
Ensure that the workpiece is securely fastened to
the faceplate.
•
Rough cut the workpiece as close as possible to
the final shape before mounting onto a faceplate.
•
Only use scrapings chisels for faceplate turning.
Cutting chisels can easily be tornout of your hands.
•
Pay attention that the woodturning chisel cannot
interfere with the holding screws at the finished
dimensions of the workpiece.
6. Remaining hazards
The machine has been built using modern tech-
nology in accordance with recognized safety
rules. Some remaining hazards, however, may
still exist.
•
Only process selected woods without defects such
as: Branch knots, edge cracks, surface cracks.
Wood with such defects is prone to splintering and
hazardous.
•
Wood which is not correctly glued can explode
when being processed due to centrifugal force.
• Trim work piece to a rectangular shape, center and
correctly secure before processing. Unbalanced
work pieces can be hazardous.
•
Injuries can occur when feeding work pieces if tool
supports are not correctly adjusted or if turning
tools are blunt. Sharp turning tools which are free
of defects are necessary for professional turning.
• Long hair and loose clothing can be hazardous
when the work piece is rotating. Wear personal
protective gear such as a hair net and tight fitting
work clothes.
•
Saw dust and wood chips can be hazardous. Wear
personal protective gear such as safety goggles
and a dust mask.
• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can
lead to injuries caused by electricity.
•
Even when all safety measures are taken, some
remaining hazards which are not yet evident may
still be present.
•
Remaining hazards can be minimized by following
the instructions in „Safety Precautions“, „Proper
Use“ and in the entire operating manual.
• Do not allow cutting tools to bite into the workpiece.
The wood could be split or thrown from the lathe.
•
Always position the tool rest above the center line
of the lathe when shaping a piece of stock.
•
Before attaching a workpiece to the faceplate, al-
ways rough it out to make it as round as possible.
This minimizes the vibrations while the piece is
being turned. Always fasten the workpiece secure-
ly to the faceplate. Failure to do so could result in
the workpiece being thrown away from the lathe.
•
Use a brush or compressed air to remove wood
shavings; never your hands. The wood shavings
will be sharp.
•
The cutting tool must always be tight within the tool
post or chuck and adjusted to limit projection from
the post. This will reduce the possibility of the tool
breaking or bending.
• Do not reach a cross the lathe while it is running.
•
Only feed workpiece into a cutting tool against the
direction of rotation. The workpiece must always
be rotating toward you.
• Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged
into an electrical outlet.Turn off thet ool, and unplug
it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
•
This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of
children.
•
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities,
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some exam
-
ples of these chemicals are:
–
Lead from lead-based paints
–
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or
other masonry products
–
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber
– Your risk from these exposures varies, de
-
pending 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 those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
•
People with pacemakers should consult their phy-
sician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields inclose
proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pace-
maker interference or pacemaker failure. In addi-
tion, people with pacemakers should:
– Avoid operating alone.
–
Properly maintain and inspect to avoid elec-
trical shock.
• The warnings, precautions, and instructions dis
-
cussed in this user manual cannot cover all pos
-
sible conditions and situations that may occur. It
must be understood by the operator that common
sense and caution are factors which cannot be
built into this product, but must be supplied by the
