SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WOODTURNING LATHES
1. Do not use 'split' work pieces.
2. Always start at the lowest speed when starting a
new task.
3. Check that the tool rest is at or slightly below the
centre line of the workpiece.
4. Check the workpiece is securely mounted in the
lathe before switching on the power.
5. Rotate the workpiece by hand, to check that it
is centralised, clear of the tool rest, not 'split' or has
loose knots.
6. Where lathes have the facility to be reversed; check
the machine is rotating in the correct direction.
7. If your lathe has the facility to run in reverse, you
must ensure that the mounting accessories (chucks,

faceplates etc.,) can be 'locked' onto the lathe
mandrel, and in the case of chucks have some form
of security device to prevent them 'unwinding' during
reverse operation.
8. Make sure your tools are stored/racked away from
the turning area of the lathe. Do not reach over a
rotating workpiece at any time.
9. Do not 'dig in' or try to take too large a cut.
10. Do not leave the lathe running unattended; or
leave the machine until everything is stopped.
11. Some turning tools may have specific sharpening
angles that have been determined by the
manufacturers; when re-sharpening, adhere to these
angles to maximise the finish of your work.
