Safety
WARNING! For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual before Operating Lathe
(a) Wear eye protection.
(b) Do not wear gloves, a necktie, or loose clothing.
(c) Tighten all locks before operating.
(d) Rotate work piece by hand before applying power.
(e) Rough out work piece before installing on faceplate.
(f) Do not mount split work piece or one containing a knot.
(g) Use lowest speed when starting new work piece.
SAFETY RULES
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
4. DON'T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose
them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.
6. MAKE YOUR WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
7. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table A shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the chord.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry
which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use a face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work when practical. It's safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
13. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the
like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure power switch is in the OFF position before
plugging the machine in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for recommended accessories. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function - check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter
only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.

pas été conçu.
9. UTILISEZ UNE RALLONGE ÉLECTRIQUE APPROPRIÉE. Assurez-vous que votre rallonge électrique est en bon
état et que le calibre du filage soit adéquat pour transporter le courant que la machine a besoin. Une rallonge de
trop faible calibre induira une perte d'intensité du voltage, ce qui provoquera une surchauffe et une perte de
puissance. Le tableau A indique le bon calibre à u liser en fonc on de la longueur de la rallonge et de la demande
en intensité du moteur. En cas de doute, u lisez la rallonge de calibre plus fort. Plus le numéro est pe t, plus la
rallonge est de fort calibre.
10. PORTEZ DES VÊTEMENTS APPROPRIÉS. Ne portez pas de vêtements amples, des gants, des colliers, des
bracelets, ou tout autre bijou ou accessoire qui pourrait être entraîné par des pièces mobiles. Des souliers à

exécuté dégage de la poussière. Veuillez prendre note que les lune es de prescrip ordinaire ne résistent pas aux
impacts et qu'elles ne sont pas homologuées à re de lune es de sécurité.
12. IMMOBILISEZ VOTRE TRAVAIL. lisez des serres ou un étau pour immobiliser votre travail lorsque c'est
possible. C'est plus sécuritaire que d'u liser votre main, et ça permet de libérer vos deux mains pour opérer l
confortablement.
13. NE VOUS ÉTIREZ PAS AU-DESSUS DE LA MACHINE. Demeurez solidement en équilibre sur vos pieds en tout
temps.
14. ENTRETENEZ LES OUTILS AVEC SOIN. Gardez les ls de coupe tranchants et propres pour en rer les meilleures
performances. Suivez les ins du fabricant pour la lubrifica on et l'entr en des accessoires.
15. DÉBRANCHEZ LES OUTILS avant d'en effectuer l'entr en ou lors du changement d'accessoires tels que lames
ou couteaux.
16. RÉDUISEZ LES RISQUES DE DÉMARRAGE NON INTENTIONNEL. Assurez-vous que l'interrupteur est en posi on
fermée avant le branchement d'un ou l.
17. UTILISEZ LES ACCESSOIRES RECOMMANDÉS. Consultez le manuel d'instru pour connaître les accessoires
recommandés. L'u lisa on d'accessoires inappropriés pose des risques de blessures aux lisateurs.
18. NE VOUS TENEZ JAMAIS DEBOUT SUR UNE MACHINE. Des blessures graves pourraient survenir si la machine
bascule ou si les ls coupants sont touchés accidentellement.
19. VÉRIFIEZ LES PIÈCES ENDOMMAGÉES. Avant de poursuivre l'u lisa on d'un l, tout disposi f de prot ou toute
pièce endommagée devra être inspecté pour déterminer si elle peut fonc onner correctement et selon l'u lisa on
qui en est prévue. Vérifiez l'alignement des pièces mobiles à savoir s'il y a blocage, un bris, ou toute autre co on
qui nuirait à son lisa on. Une pièce ou un protecteur endommagé doit être réparé ou remplacé.
20. SENS D'ALIMENTATION. Alimentez la pièce vers la lame ou le couteau dans le sens contraire de sa rota on
seulement.
21. NE LAISSEZ JAMAIS UN OUTIL FONCTIONNER DANS SURVEILLANCE – ÉTEIGNEZ L'OUTIL. Ne laissez pas l'ou l
sans surveillance jusqu'à ce qu'il s'arrête complètement.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided -if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3 pole receptacles that accept the
tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150
volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A in Fig.
1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A in Fig. 1. A temporary adapter,
which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketch B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole
receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not
permitted in Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150 –
250 volts, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch D. The
tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch D. Make sure the tool is connected to
an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this tool.
If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be
made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING OF HARMFUL EXPOSURE
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
Lead from lead-based paint.
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face or dust masks
that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
