Sandpaper

Workpiece

Never  wrap  sandpa-

per  around  a  moving 

workpiece,  or  your 

hands  can  be  pulled  in 

causing  a  an  entangle-

ment injury.

EYE/FACE PROTECTION. 

Wear eye protection and a face 

shield during all turning operations. 

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. 

Always wear a respirator 

when using this tool. Wood dust may cause allergies or 

long-term respiratory health problems.

AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. 

Keep long hair and loose 

clothing such as sleeves, belts, and jewelry items away 

from the workpiece and chuck.

WORKPIECE CONDITION. 

Always inspect the condition of 

your workpiece. NEVER turn stock with knots, splits, and 

other potentially dangerous conditions. All glued joints 

must have high quality bonds that will not fly apart during 

operation.

MOUNTING WORKPIECE. 

Before starting, be certain the 

drive and spur centers have been properly imbedded into 

the workpiece, and that the table is locked in place.

USING TOOL REST. 

NEVER attempt free-hand turning, you 

must always support the chisel on the tool rest, and keep

TURNING SPEED. 

Select the correct tuning speed for your 

work before starting the drill press.

USING SHARP CHISELS. 

Keep chisels sharp. Dull chisels 

require more force to cut, causing tool chatter and 

grabbing hazards.

MATERIAL REMOVAL. 

Attempting to remove too much 

wood at once may cause the workpiece or chisel to eject 

causing severe injury.
