SAFETY RULES
1. KEEP GUARDSIN PLACE and in working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and ad-
justing 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 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 safe distance from work area.
6. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks,
masterswitches, or by removingstarter 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 (on the next page) shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage nu-
mber, the heavierthe cord.
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 face
or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Eve-
ryday eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work when practical. It's safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate 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. Fol-
low instructions for lubricating and changing ac-
cessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when
changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cut-
ters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STA-
TING. Make sure switch is in off position before
plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
the owner's manual for recommended acces-
sories. 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 re-
placed.
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 co-
mes to a complete stop.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•Leadfrom lead based paint.
•Crystallinesilicafrom bricks, cement,and other masonry products.
•Arsenicand 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

Wood lathe
Wood turning lathes are typically used to shape wood into cylindrical profiles. Objects made
on a wood lathe include such items as furniture legs, lamp posts, baseball bats, bowls and
other ornamental forms. Wood lathe tooling consists of fixturing and securing devices for the
work piece, a moveable tool rest, and hand-held cutting tools in the form of long handled
gouges, skews, scrapers, and parting tools. Specialty tooling is also available for internal
shaping and surface development.

7
Locking the lathe
It is strongly recommended that the lathe is never left unattended in the unlocked condition.
To lock the machine it is recommended that a cover (not supplied) is made to lock the control
panel. We have supplied two concepts for locking the panel (see below). The cover can be
made from wood or plastic, two covers (not supplied) are made to lock the control panels on
both headstock and remote controller. We have supplied four concepts for locking the control
panel (see below).
First, push down the emergency stop. Then lock the cover together by putting padlocks [not
included] on the two handles on the control panel. To safeguard your machine from
unauthorized operation and accidental starting by young children, the use of padlocks is
strongly recommended.

Noise Emission.
Equivalent A-weighted Sound pressure level according to EN ISO 3746: 75.66 dB(A)
Uncertainty, K in decibels: 4.0 dB (A) according to EN ISO 4871
The figure quoted is emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels.
Whilst there is a correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this cannot
be used reliably to determine whether or not further precautions are required.
Factors that influence the actual level of exposure of the workforce include
characteristics of the work room, the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the number of
machines and other adjacent processes. Also the permissible exposure level can
vary from country to country, This information, however, will enable the user of the
machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.

Receiving your machine.
Note. It is probable that your machine will be delivered by a third party. Before you unpack
your new machine you will need to first inspect the packing, invoice and shipping documents
supplied by the driver.
Insure that there is no visible damage to the packing or the machine. You need to do this prior
to the driver leaving. All damage must be noted on the delivery documents and signed by you
and the delivery driver. You must then contact the seller (Laguna Tools) as soon as practical.
If damage is found after delivery, contact the seller as soon as is practical.
Note. It is probable that you will find sawdust within your machine. This is because the
machine has been tested prior to shipment from the factory and or Laguna Tools.
Laguna Tools endeavours to test machines prior to shipping to customers. As movement can
take place during transportation it must be noted that additional machine movement can take
place between Laguna Tools and the end user and some adjustments may have to be
undertaken by the customer. These adjustments are covered in the various sections of this
manual.
