Additional Chuck Safety
Entanglement.
Entanglement with a rotating
chuck can lead to death, amputation,
broken bones, or other serious injury.
Never attempt to slow or stop the lathe
chuck by hand, and always roll up long
sleeves, tie back long hair, and remove
any jewelry or loose apparel BEFORE
operating.
Chuck Speed Rating.
Excessive spindle speeds
greatly increase the risk of the workpiece
or chuck being thrown from the machine
with deadly force. Never use spindle speeds
faster than the chuck RPM rating or the
safe limits of your workpiece.
Using Correct Equipment.
Many workpieces can
only be safely turned in a lathe if additional
support equipment, such as a tailstock or
steady/follow rest, is used. If the operation
is too hazardous to be completed with the
lathe or existing equipment, the operator
must have enough experience to know
when to use a different machine or find a
safer way.
Trained Operators Only.
Using a chuck
incorrectly can result in workpieces coming
loose at high speeds and striking the
operator or bystanders with deadly force.
To reduce the risk of this hazard, read
and understand this document and seek
additional training from an experienced
chuck user before using a chuck.
Chuck Capacity.
Avoid exceeding the capacity
of the chuck by clamping an oversized
workpiece. If the workpiece is too large to
safely clamp with the chuck, use a faceplate
or a larger chuck if possible. Otherwise,
the workpiece could be thrown from the
lathe during operation, resulting in serious
impact injury or death.
Clamping Force.
Inadequate clamping force
can lead to the workpiece being thrown
from the chuck and striking the operator
or bystanders. Maximum clamping force
is achieved when the chuck is properly
maintained and lubricated, all jaws are
fully engaged with the workpiece, and the
maximum chuck clamping diameter is not
exceeded.
Proper Maintenance.
All chucks must be
properly maintained and lubricated to
achieve maximum clamping force and
withstand the rigors of centrifugal force.
To reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece,
follow all maintenance intervals and
instructions in this document.
Disconnect Power.
Serious entanglement or
impact injuries could occur if the lathe is
started while you are adjusting, servicing,
or installing the chuck. Always disconnect
the lathe from power before performing
these procedures.
