General Health and Safety Guidance
ATTENTION:
Please carefully read
and understand the instructions in this manual
before assembly, installation and use of your PRO-TEK SUPERNOVA
2
Chuck.
Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING:
This chuck can contribute to serious injury (as with any other power tool
accessory) if this manual guidance is not followed or if it is used improperly on the
lathe. Read and understand the lathe owner's manual. If you do not have a manual,
contact the supplier of your lathe to obtain one before using the lathe and chuck.
User must be professionally trained to use this chuck. Vocational school courses or
other expert tuition is recommended. NOVA also recommends joining a woodturning
club.
As with other work holding methods, an extremely cautious and sensible approach
is necessary. With the PRO-TEK SUPERNOVA
2
chuck it is not possible to give exact
directions as to the amount of tightening pressure required for adequate work
holding or approved chisel cutting techniques. Follow closely strict guidelines in this
manual for different jaw types on wood blank diameters and length, plus strictly
follow recommended lathe speeds.
Safe Operation:
Eye Protection:
Woodturning operations can result in objects being thrown into your
eyes which can result in severe eye damage. Protective eye wear must always be
used. Everyday spectacles are not protective eye wear. We recommend a full-face
shield. Always wear eye protection which complies with current ANSI Standard Z87
(USA)
Noise Protection:
Use ear plugs or ear defenders. Particularly if the noise exceeds
85dB. Exposure to high levels of noise can lead to hearing problems.
Dust Protection:
Use respiratory protective equipment (dust mask, portable
respirator device). Exposure to high levels of irritating dust when turning or sanding
hardwoods, soft woods and manufactured composite boards (MDF) can result in
serious health problems. In addition, adequate workshop dust extraction must be
used.
Chuck is properly secured on lathe spindle:
Follow mounting instructions for your
lathe for faceplates and other spindle fixtures. Do not rotate chuck under power
