All lathe operators must be constantly aware of the safety hazards that are associated with using
the lathe and must know all safety precautions to avoid accidents and injuries.
Some important safety precautions to follow when using the lathe are:

Correct dressing is important, remove rings and watches, roll sleeves above elbows.
13.
Always stop the lathe before making adjustments.

16.

17.

a chuck.

20.
