Warning
This equipment incorporates parts such as snap

Cautions and Dangers
1. Eye and face protection requirements:
“Protective eye and face equipment is required
to be used where there is a reasonable
probability of injury that can be prevented by use
of such equipment.” OSHA 1910.133 (a).
Protective goggles, safety glasses, or a face
shield must be provided by the purchaser/user
and worn by the operator of the equipment.
Make sure all eye and face safety precautions are
followed by the operator(s). Keep bystanders out
of the area.
2. Do not remove any safet y equipment, belt
guards, or shortcut controls or operations.
3. Make sure drums and rotors are properly and
squarely mounted before starting lathe, and that
all parts are secure.
4. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or gloves
when operating or working around a lathe.
5. Do not overload the lathe. Read and understand
the lathe specifications. Overloading is poor
machine tool practice, shortens the life of the
lathe, and could cause a failure resulting in
personal injury.
Failure to follow danger, warning, and caution
instructions may lead to serious personal injury or
death to operator or bystander or damage to prop-
erty. Do not operate this machine until you read
and understand all the dangers, warnings and cau-
tions in this manual. For additional copies of either,
