General Instructions for 230V Machines
4
Work Place/Environment
Make sure when the machine is placed that it sits
firmly on the bench or stand, that it does not rock,
that it is sufficiently clear of adjacent obstacles so
that you have unimpeded access to all parts of the
machine. The machine is designed for indoor use, do
not use when or where it is liable to get wet. Keep
the machine clean; it will enable you to more easily
see any damage that may have occurred. Clean the
overall machine with a damp soapy cloth if needs
be, do not use any solvents or cleaners, as these may
cause damage to any plastic parts or to the electrical
components. Clean the machined components with a
lightly oiled cloth. If the machine is liable to be
standing idle for any length of time a light coat of
machine or spray oil will minimise rusting.
WARNING! KEEP TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE
REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
It is good practice to leave the machine unplugged
until work is about to commence, also make sure
to unplug the machine when it is not in use, or
unattended. Always disconnect by pulling on the
plug body and not the cable. Once you are ready to
commence work, remove all tools used in the setting
operations (if any) and place safely out of the way.
Re-connect the machine.
Carry out a final “tightness” check e.g. chuck or face
plate, work piece, tool rest, etc., check that the correct
speed has been selected.
Make sure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced, not reaching etc. If the work you are
carrying out is liable to generate flying grit, dust or
chips, wear the appropriate safety clothing, goggles,
gloves, masks etc. If the work operation appears to be
excessively noisy, wear ear-defenders.
If you wear your hair in a long style, wearing a cap,
safety helmet, hairnet, even a sweatband, will
minimise the possibility of your hair being caught up
in the rotating parts of the tool, likewise,
consideration should be given to the removal of rings
and wristwatches, if these are liable to be a ‘snag’
hazard. Consideration should also be given to
nonslip footwear, etc.
Do not work with cutting tools of any description if
you are tired, your attention is wandering or you are
being subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a lost
fingertip or worse; is not worth it! Above all,
OBSERVE…. make sure you know what is happening
around you, and USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
Specific Safety Instructions for
Woodturning Lathes
1. Do not use ‘split’ work pieces.
2. Always start at the lowest speed when starting a
new task.
3. Try to render a new work piece “round” (or as close
as is practical) before turning.
4. Check that the tool rest is at or slightly below the
centre line of the work piece.
5. Check the work piece is securely mounted in the
lathe before switching on the power.
6. Rotate the work piece by hand, to check that it
is:- centralised, clear of the tool rest, not ‘split’ or has
loose knots.
7. Where lathes have the facility to be reversed; check
the machine is rotating in the correct direction.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Do not ‘dig in’ or try to take too large a cut.
11. Do not leave the lathe running unattended; or
leave the machine until everything is stopped.
12. If you are turning between centres with ‘softish
stuff’, check and reposition the tailstock centre
frequently.
