When using your brake lathe basic safety precautions 

should always be followed, including the following:

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE

 and in working order.

KEEP HANDS

 clear of moving parts at all times. Keep 

hair, loose clothing, neckties, shop rags, jewelry, fingers, 

and all parts of body away from moving parts.

ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES

. Everyday 

eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT 

safety glasses. Safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield will 

help  protect the operator from injury. Use a face shield and 

dust mask during all operations.

SECURE WORK

  properly  for setup  and tool bit      

positioning before attempting to make first cut. Do not 

attempt to touch rotors, drums and flywheels with your 

hands with the lathe in operation. 

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES

 

from the lathe before turning it on. 

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE

. Keep tools sharp and 

clean for best and safest performance. Follow  instructions 

for lubricating and changing accessories.

USE FACTORY APPROVED TOOLS ONLY.

  Don’t 

force a tool or an attachment to do a job for which it was 

not designed. The use of improper accessories may 

cause risk of injury to operator or bystanders. Use only 

as  described  in  this  manual.  Use  only  manufacturer’s          

recommended attachments.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN

 and well lighted. 

Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

LOCATE POWER CORD SAFELY.

 Do not let power 

cord come in contact with moving parts.

REDUCE RISK OF FIRE

. Do not operate equipment 

in near open containers of flammable liquids and their 

vapors.

PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION

 when 

working on operating internal combustion engines. Vehicle 

exhaust must be vented from work area.

DRESS PROPERLY.

  Keep  hair,  loose  clothing,      

neckties, shop rags, jewelry, fingers, and all parts of body 

away from moving parts. Non-slip footwear is 

recommended.

ALWAYS UNPLUG EQUIPMENT

 

from electrical outlet when not in use. 

Never use the cord to pull the plug from 

the outlet. Grasp plug firmly and pull to 

disconnect.

DO NOT TOUCH HOT PARTS

. Care must be taken 

as burns can occur from touching hot parts.

PROPERLY MAINTAIN EQUIPMEN

T. Do not 

operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the 

equipment has been dropped or damaged—until it has 

been examined by a qualified serviceman.

REDUCE RISK OF SHOCK

.  Do  not  use  on  wet       

surfaces or expose to rain.

KEEP CHILDREN/UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS 

AWAY.

 All bystanders should be kept completely away 

from the work area.

REMOVE POWER AND DISCONNECT TOOLS 

before servicing the unit and when changing accessories 

such as blades, bits, cutters, etc. Follow lock-out and    

tag-out procedures as required.

AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING

. Make sure the 

switch is in the 

OFF

 position before plugging the machine 

in or performing any maintenance or service work.

NEVER LEAN OR STAND ON THE LATHE. 

Serious 

injury could occur if the lathe is tipped over or if the cutting 

tool is unintentionally contacted.
