2. SPECIAL SAFETY RULES
BEFORE USING THE MACHINE:
1. Check the following before you use the machi-
ne:
- does the voltage of the machine correspond with
the mains voltage;
- are all parts of the machine well fixed.
2. Close the V-Belt housing.
3. Unplug the machine from the mains before changing
the speed or replacing the V-belt.
This machine must be earthed. lf not pro-
perly earthed this power tool can cause an
electrical shock. Be sure that your outlet is
earthed. lf you have any doubt have it chec-
ked by a quatified electrician.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
1. When turning between centres or on the faceplate al-
ways rough-out “out of round” workpieces at slow
speed. Running the Lathe too fast so that it vibrates
could cause the workpiece to be thrown from the lat-
he or the turning tool to be jerked from your hands.
2. Always rotate the workpiece by hand before turning
on the motor. lf the workpiece strikes the tool rest it
could split end be thrown out of the Lathe.
3. Do not allow the turning tool to ‘bite’ into the work-
piece which could result in splitting of the workpiece
or the workpiece being thrown from the lathe. Al-
ways position the tool rest above the centreline of
the Lathe for spindle turning. Do not apply the turning
tool to the workpiece below the level of the tool rest.
4. Do not run the Lathe in the wrong direction. This
could cause the turning tool to be thrown from your
hands. The Lathe must run in a direction so that the
centre of the workpiece is below the level of the tool
rest and turns towards you.
5. Before attatching a workpiece to the faceplate always
‘rough it out’ to as true round as possible. This will
minimise vibration while turning. Always fasten the
workpiece securely to the faceplate. Failure to per-
form these setup operations could cause the work-
piece to be thrown from the Lathe.
6. Avoid awkward hand positions where a slip could
cause a hand to move into the workpiece.
7. Remove all knots before installing workpiece be-
tween centres or on the faceplate.
8. Never leave the lathe work area, before the lathe has
come to a complete stop.
9. Do not lay your turning tools on the bench so that you
must reach over the revolving workpiece to select
them.
10. Keep your cutting tools sharp at all times. Special cau-
tion must be excercised when knots or voids are ex-
posed to the turning tool.
11. Think safety.
12. Complete hand sanding of between centres or face-
plate mounted workpieces before removing from the
lathe. Do not exceed the speed used for the last cut-
ting operation performed on the workpiece, in ac-
cordance with the speed chart.
