and wood-turning techniques before using the ma-
chine.

• Examine all workpieces for splits or knots. Glued
joints must set completely before turning.
• Ensure that the workpiece is securely locked in po-
sition and all attachments are secured.
• Before turning the machine ON ensure that the
workpiece can rotate freely by rotating it by hand.
• Keep your hands and fingers away from the rotat-
ing workpiece.
• Switch the machine OFF and wait until it has come
to a full stop before making any adjustments on the
workpiece, tailstock, or tool rest.
• Maintenance, adjustment, calibration and cleaning
may only be performed with the motor turned off.
• The machine is designed for use with wood-turning
chisels only.
• Always store away the wood-turning chisels safely
before you leave the workplace.
• Do not run the lathe without its covers and guards
in place.
• Keep cutting tools sharp.
• Use the lowest speed when starting a new work-
piece.
• Always stop the lathe at its slowest speed. If the
lathe is run so fast that it vibrates, there is a risk
that the workpiece will be thrown or the cutting tool
jerked from your hands.
• Do not allow cutting tools to bite into the workpiece.
The wood could be split or thrown from the lathe.
• Always position the tool rest above the centre line
of the lathe when shaping a piece of stock.
• Before attaching a workpiece to the face plate, al-
ways rough it out to make it as round as possible.
This minimizes the vibrations while the piece is be-
ing turned. Always fasten the workpiece securely
to the faceplate. Failure to do so could result in the
workpiece being thrown away from the lathe.
• Use a brush or compressed air to remove wood
shavings; never your hands. The wood shavings
will be sharp.
• The cutting tool must always be tight within the
chuck and adjusted to limit projection from the post.
This will reduce the possibility of the tool breaking
or bending.
• Do not reach a cross the lathe while it is running.
• Only feed workpiece into a cutting tool against the
direction of rotation. The workpiece must always be
rotating toward you.
• Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged
into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and un-
plug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
• This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of
children.
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities,
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some exam-
ples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints
