22. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are
careless acts that can result in serious injury.
23. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the centers, workpiece
or other moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.
24. 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 safer.
25. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.
26. Keep turning tools sharp and clean for the best and safest performance, and position the tools
properly in relation to the workpiece.
27. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove chips or debris — do
not use your hands.
28. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.
29. Never leave the Lathe running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it
comes to a complete stop.
30. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.
31. Check the workpiece carefully for splits, knots or other obstructions which may cause a safety risk
while turning.
32. Adjust the tool support to the proper height and position for the work. Rotate the workpiece by hand to
check clearance with the tool support.
33. Select the appropriate speed for the turning job at hand. Start at low speed and allow the Lathe to
ramp up to operating speed.
34. Never stop a rotating workpiece with your hand.
35. If gluing up a workpiece, always use a high-quality glue of the type necessary for that particular
workpiece.
