Never place your fingers in a position where they could contact any rotating parts or chips.
Check the save clamping of the work piece before starting the machine.
Don't exceed the clamping range of the chuck.
Work pieces longer than 3 times the chucking diameter need to be supported by the tailstock or a steady rest.
Avoid small chucking diameters at big turning diameters. Avoid short chucking lengths and small chucking contact.
Do not exceed the max speed of the work holding device.
Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. The
right tool will do the job better and more safely.
