GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Please operate the lathe with awareness of the potential for injury. If you have any doubts
about safety, we ask you to contact your local dealer before using.
Warning! Failure to follow the listed rules may result in serious personal injury.
To ensure safe use, READ This MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE TOOL.
 ALWAYS USE A FULL FACE SHIELD. A full face shield will protect the eyes and face.
 KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN and having good lighting.
 WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets or other jewelry, which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is also
recommended. Wear long hair pulled back.
 DISCONNECT MACHINE from the electrical supply before servicing and when changing
accessories
 NEVER LEAVE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED. Do not leave the lathe unless it is
turned “Off” and has come to a complete stop.
 USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not use a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
intended or designed.
 TIGHTEN ALL CLAMP HANDLES on the headstock, tailstock, and the tool rest before
operating the lathe.
 Before turning a large wood piece, it is advisable to reduce the excess before mounting the
stock to the lathe. When turning a large wood piece, the turner should not stand close to
the lathe to avoid being struck by a wood piece ejected by an imbalance.
 Hold the tool handle firmly to avoid the rebound

Wood Lathe Introductions
Tools express thoughts, and serve as the extension of your hands. An ideal tool should
perform readily as a connection between hand and mind; additionally, it ought to be
pleasurable, enlightening, and beautiful.
The Harvey team never stops pursuing excellence to enhance a user’s optimal working
experience. After developing the Harvey Turbo T-50/60 heavy duty woodworking lathes, the
Harvey team then spent over two years working to develop a smaller lathe ideally sized to suit
the demands of serious hobbyists and home workshops. Now we are glad to announce that
our efforts have been achieved: the Turbo T-40 Lathe is the result.
In order to overcome long known issues of insufficient torque and “speed loss” on most small
lathes on the market, for the first time in the industry, Harvey Industries has introduced the
Industrial Servo Motor (ISM) system and integrated it in with the T-40 spindle drive.
The exterior and machined surfaces are engineered and crafted with our highest standards to
enhance a user’s experience. The Turbo T-40 lathe is crafted with premium grade cast iron
and machined to the highest tolerances. The guideways are precision ground for smooth
operation. The surface of the T-40 lathe is coated with a high gloss, stove enamel.
T-40 has features a 360mm (14”) maximum swing, and a 625mm (24”) distance between
centers. The spindle head can rotate 90° for larger faceplate turning. In addition, 80KG (178
lb) of ballast makes the T-40 the heaviest lathe in its league. The Harvey engineering and
manufacturing teams sincerely hope the new Turbo T-40 will make a greatly enjoyable tool for
turners of all ages and skill levels.
