SECTION 6: LATHE OPERATIONS
Your safety is important! Please follow the
warnings below during this entire section:
Operating this equipment has the potential
for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always
wear safety glasses or goggles when oper-
ating equipment. Everyday glasses or read-
ing glasses only have impact resistant lens-
es, they are not safety glasses. Be certain
the safety glasses you wear meet the appro-
priate standards of the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI).
Keep loose clothing out
of the way of machinery
and keep hair pulled
back during operations.
Never leave a chuck key in the chuck when
it is not in use. If the machine is accidental-
ly started, the chuck key can become a pro-
jectile and cause serious personal injury.
