5. Do not mount a split workpiece.

6. Use the lowest speed when starting a new workpiece.
7. Read the warning label attached to the wood lathe.
8. When turning a workpiece, always rough the wood to round form at slow speed. If
the lathe is run so fast that it vibrates, there is a risk that the workpiece will be
thrown or the tool jerked from your hands.
9. Always rotate the workpiece by hand before turning on the motor. If the workpiece

round as possible. This minimizes the vibrations while the piece is being turned.
Always fasten the workpiece securely to the faceplate. Failure to do so could result
in the workpiece being thrown from the lathe.
14. Position your hands so that they will not slip onto the workpiece.
15. Remove all loose knots in the stock before mounting It between the centers or on
the faceplate.
