WOODLATHE MANUAL
This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand.
This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING
EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use the
symbols to the right. Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections.
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE
OPERATING THE MACHINE.
Learning the machine's application, limitations, and specific hazards will greatly
minimize the possibility of accidents and injury.
2. WEAR EYE PROTECTION. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses.
USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
3. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
4. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. The use of
power tools in damp or wet locations or in rain can cause shock or electrocution.
Keep your work area well-lit to prevent tripping or placing arms, hands, and fingers in
danger.
5. MAINTAIN ALL TOOLS AND MACHINES IN PEAK CONDI-TION. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Poorly maintained tools and machines can further
damage the tool or machine and/or cause injury.
6. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the machine, check for any
damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
any other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. Damaged
parts can cause further damage to the machine and/or injury.
7. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Your shop is a potentially dangerous
environment. Children and visitors can be injured.
9. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure that the switch
is in the "OFF" position before plugging in the power cord. In the event of a power
failure, move the switch to the "OFF" position. An accidental start-up can cause
injury.
10. USE THE GUARDS. Check to see that all guards are in place, secured, and
working correctly to prevent injury.
11. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES BEFORE STARTING THE
MACHINE. Tools, scrap pieces, and other debris can be thrown at high speed,
causing injury.
