Operation Overview
Loose hair, clothing, or
jewelry could get caught
in lathe and cause serious
personal injury. Keep these
items away from moving
parts at all times to reduce
this risk.
During operation, small
metal chips may become
airborne, leading to
serious eye or face injury.
Wear safety glasses and
faceshield to reduce this
risk.
To reduce the risk of
serious injury when using
this machine, read and
understand this entire
manual before beginning
any operations.
The purpose of this overview is to provide
the novice machine operator with a basic
understanding of how the machine is used during
operation, so they can more easily understand
the controls discussed later in this manual.
Note:
Due to the generic nature of this overview,
it is not intended to be an instructional guide
for performing actual machine operations.
To learn more about specific operations and
