Operational Safety Instructions for the Wood Turning Lathe

The machine may only be connected to a properly earthed mains socket.
Familiarise yourself with the machine’s features and wood-turning techniques before using the machine.
Examine all workpieces for splits or knots. Glued joints must set completely before turning.
Ensure that the workpiece is securely locked in position and all attachments are secured.
Before turning the machine ON ensure that the workpiece can rotate freely by rotating it by hand.
Keep your hands and fingers away from the rotating workpiece.
Switch the machine OFF and wait until it has come to a full stop before making any adjustments on the workpiece, tailstock, or tool rest.
Maintenance, adjustment, calibration and cleaning may only be performed with the motor turned off.
The machine is designed for use with wood-turning chisels only.
Always store away the wood-turning chisels safely before you leave the workplace.
Do not run the lathe without its covers and guards in place.
Keep cutting tools sharp.
Use the lowest speed when starting a new workpiece.
Always stop the lathe at its slowest speed. If the lathe is run so fast that it vibrates, there is a risk that the workpiece will be thrown or the cutting tool jerked from your hands.
Do not allow cutting tools to bite into the workpiece. The wood could be split or thrown from the lathe.
Always position the tool rest above the center line of the lathe when shaping a piece of stock.
Before attaching a workpiece to the faceplate, always rough it out to make it as 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 away from the lathe.
Use a brush or compressed air to remove wood shavings; never your hands. The wood shavings will be sharp.
The cutting tool must always be tight within the tool post or chuck and adjusted to limit projection from the post. This will reduce the possibility of the tool breaking or bending.
Do not reach a cross the lathe while it is running.
Only feed workpiece into a cutting tool against the direction of rotation. The workpiece must always be rotating toward you.
Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
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 paints
– Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
– Your risk from these exposures 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 those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles
People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In addition, people with pacemakers should:
– Avoid operating alone.
– Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this user manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Additional safety instructions for the use of faceplates

Ensure that the faceplate is the appropriate size to support the workpiece.
Ensure that the workpiece is securely fastened to the faceplate.
Rough cut the workpiece as close as possible to the final shape before mounting onto a faceplate.
Only use scrapings chisels for faceplate turning.
Cutting chisels can easily be torn out of your hands.
Pay attention that the woodturning chisel cannot interfere with the holding screws at the finished dimensions of the workpiece.

6. Remaining hazards

The machine has been built using modern technology in accordance with recognized safety rules. Some remaining hazards, however, may still exist.

Only process selected woods without defects such as:
Branch knots, edge cracks, surface cracks. Wood with such defects is prone to splintering and hazardous.
Wood which is not correctly glued can explode when being processed due to centrifugal force.
Trim work piece to a rectangular shape, center and correctly secure before processing. Unbalanced work pieces can be hazardous.
Injuries can occur when feeding work pieces if tool supports are not correctly adjusted or if turning tools are blunt. Sharp turning tools which are free of defects are necessary for professional turning.
Long hair and loose clothing can be hazardous when the work piece is rotating. Wear personal protective gear such as a hair net and tight fitting work clothes.
Saw dust and wood chips can be hazardous. Wear personal protective gear such as safety goggles and a dust mask.
The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can lead to injuries caused by electricity.
Even when all safety measures are taken, some remaining hazards which are not yet evident may still be present.
Remaining hazards can be minimized by following the instructions in “Safety Precautions”, “Proper Use” and in the entire operating manual.
