GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR 230V MACHINES
4
The following will enable you to observe good working
practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and
maintain your tools and equipment in good working
order.
WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT
OF REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
Mains Powered Tools
• Tools are supplied with an attached 13 Amp plug.
• Inspect the cable and plug to ensure that neither
are damaged. Repair if necessary by a suitably qualified
person.
• Do not use when or where it is liable to get wet.
Workplace
• Do not use 230V a.c. powered tools anywhere
within a site area that is flooded.
• Keep machine clean.
• Leave machine unplugged until work is about to
commence.
• Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and
not the cable.
• Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool
is securely tightened in the machine and the correct
speed and function set.
• Ensure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced, not reaching etc.
• Wear appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves,
masks etc. Wear ear defenders at all times.
• If you have long hair wear a hair net or helmet to
prevent it being caught up in the rotating parts of the
machine.
• Consideration should be given to the removal of rings
and wrist watches.
• Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear
etc.
• If another person is to use the machine, ensure they are
suitably qualified to use it.
• Do not use the machine if you are tired or distracted
• Do not use this machine within the designated safety
areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there
may be volatile gases.
• Check cutters are correct type and size, are undamaged
and are kept clean and sharp, this will maintain their
operating performance and lessen the loading on the
machine.
• OBSERVE…. make sure you know what is happening
around you and USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
KEEP WORK AREA AS UNCLUTTERED
AS IS PRACTICAL. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN WORK
AREAS.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WOOD TURNING LATHES
1. Do not use ‘split’ work pieces.
2. Always start at the lowest speed when starting a new
task.
3. Check that the tool rest is at or slightly below the
centre line of the work piece.
4. Check the work piece is securely mounted in the
lathe before switching on the power.
5. Rotate the work piece by hand, to check that it is
centralised, clear of the tool rest, not ‘split’ or has loose
knots.
6. Where lathes have the facility to be reversed; check
the machine is rotating in the correct direction.
7. If your lathe has the facility to run in reverse, you
must ensure that the mounting accessories (chucks,
faceplates etc.,) can be ‘locked’ onto the lathe mandrel,
and in the case of chucks, have some form of security
device to prevent them ‘unwinding’ during reverse
operation.
8. Make sure your tools are stored/racked away from the
turning area of the lathe. Do not reach over a rotating
work piece at any time.
9. Do not ‘dig in’ or try to take to large a cut.
10. Do not leave the lathe running unattended; or leave
the machine until everything has stopped.
11. Some turning tools may have specific sharpening
angles that have been determined by the manufac-
turers; when re-sharpening, adhere to these angles to
maximise the finish of your work.
