ADDITIONAL RULES FOR LATHES
Never attempt to adjust any part of the workpiece whilst the lathe is still in motion. Wait until the workpiece
has come to a complete stop.
1. Ensure that chuck keys, tommy bars and similar items are removed before the lathe is started.
2. Always stand to one side when you start the lathe so that if anything does fly off e.g. a loose piece of
bark, you will be out of the line-of-fire.
3. When mounting a new piece of timber, rotate the wood through 360
o
by hand to ensure that it will not hit
the tool rest or the bed of the lathe and then start the lathe at its slowest speed. When you are certain that
that the work is secure and not too out of balance set the lathe to the normal turning speed.
4. Always check the rotation speed before switching the lathe on to avoid the risk of starting it whilst it is set
to run at too high a speed.
5. The speed of the lathe must be adjusted to suit the size, balance, length and condition of the timber
being turned. The greater the diameter of the work, the slower the rotation speed needs to be. If the piece
you are turning is out of balance, then you must start turning at a low speed, until it is balanced.
6. The tool must rest firmly on the tool rest before it is brought into contact with the rotating wood and must
never be lifted off the tool rest as long as it is in contact with the timber.
7. Before sanding, polishing or doing anything else that brings your fingers close to the work, remove the
tool rest. Getting your fingers trapped between the tool rest and the work will at least be very painful and
may cause serious injury.
8. Never wrap the sandpaper of polishing cloth round the work. If it tightens up it will pull your fingers into
contact with the timber and may lead to serious injury.
