General Safety Instructions
Before operating the lathe, review the warning information
on the lathe and the cautions, warnings and dangers in this
manual. Also review the following general safety
instructions. Failure to follow safety instructions could
result in personal injury to operator or bystanders and
damage to the lathe or personal property.
1. Keep guards in place and in working order.
2. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the tool
before turning it on. Make this a habit.
3. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
4. Avoid dangerous operating environments. Do not use
power tools in areas where explosive vapors are
present or in damp or wet locations. Do not expose
them to rain. Keep the work area clean and well
lighted.
5. Keep children away. All bystanders should be kept
completely away from the work area.
6. Make the workshop kid-proof. Use padlocks and
master switches, and remove starter keys.
7. Don’t force a tool. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
8. Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or an attachment
to do a job for which it was not designed.
9. Dress properly. Loose clothing, gloves, neckties, shop
rags or jewelry may get caught in moving parts. Non-
slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
10. Wear eye protection. Safety glasses, goggles, or a
face shield will help protect the operator from injury.
Use a face shield and dust mask during dusty
operations.
11. Secure the work properly to the unit for setup and
tool bit positioning. Do not attempt to hold a drum or
rotor steady on the arbor with your hands. Both
hands must be free to operate unit.
12. Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times when lathe is in operation or when working
around the unit.
13. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean
for best and safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
14. Remove power from the unit and disconnect tools
before servicing and when changing accessories
such as blades, bits, cutters, etc. Follow lock-out and
tag-out procedures as required.
15. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure the switch is
in the OFF (O) position before plugging the machine in
or performing any maintenance or service work.
16. Use recommended accessories. Consult the
manufacturer’s catalogs for recommended
accessories. Use of improper accessories may cause
risk of injury to operator or bystanders.
17. Never stand or lean on a lathe. Serious injury could
occur if the lathe is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
18. Check damaged parts carefully. Before further use of
the lathe, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked. Immediately replace all
damaged, missing, or non-functional parts. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other
conditions that may affect operation. Guards and
other parts that are damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced before lathe is used again.
19. Always feed the work into a blade or cutter and
against the direction of rotation. Cutters and tool bits
are designed to cut from the inside of a drum or rotor
to the outer edge. Do not attempt to cut from the
outside edge in to the center.
20. Never leave tools running unattended. Turn the
power off. Don’t leave the tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
21. Never use compressed air to blow the tool clean.
Chips and dust may be driven between machined
parts and into bearings, causing undue wear. They
may also contact persons in the area causing
personal injury.
22. Operate the lathe in the proper environment. The
lathe incorporates parts such as snap switches and
power receptacles which tend to produce arcs or
sparks. Therefore, when located in a garage, the unit
should be in a room or enclosure provided for the
purpose, or should be at least 18” or more above the
floor to minimize the risk of igniting fuel vapors.

Cautions and Dangers
1. Eye and face protection requirements:
“Protective eye and face equipment is required to be
used where there is a reasonable probability of injury
that can be prevented by use of such equipment.”
OSHA 1910.133 (a).
Protective goggles, safety glasses, or a face shield
must be provided by the purchaser/user and worn by
the operator of the equipment. Make sure all eye and
face safety precautions are followed by the
operator(s). Keep bystanders out of the area.
2. Do not remove any safety equipment, belt guards, or
shortcut controls or operations.
3. Make sure drums and rotors are properly and
squarely mounted before starting lathe, and that all
parts are secure.
4. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or gloves when
operating or working around a lathe.
5. Do not overload the lathe. Read and understand the
lathe specifications. Overloading is poor machine
tool practice, shortens the life of the lathe, and could
cause a failure resulting in personal injury.
