GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and serious injury. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) pro-
tected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain
chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your expo-
sure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area with approved safety equipment such as dust masks spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR WOOD LATHES
6
1. This lathe is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If you are not
familiar with the proper and safe operation of a lathe, do not use it until proper training and knowledge have been
acquired.
2. Always wear ANSI Z87.1-approved eye protection and a face shield/dust mask when using the lathe.
3. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in the spinning tool.
4. Select the right tool for your task at hand. Make sure all tools, chisels and accessories are sharp before using
them. Do not use dull or damaged tools.
5. Select the appropriate speed for the task. Use slower speeds when starting on a workpiece. Allow the lathe to
ramp up to the operating speed before engaging carving tools.
6. Check the workpiece carefully for splits, knots, nails, or other obstructions. These types of blemishes may cause
a safety hazards during turning.
7. If gluing up a workpiece for turning, always use a high quality glue that meets the needs of the particular work-
piece to prevent the workpiece from falling off during operation.
8. Rough cut the workpiece as close as possible to the finished shape before mounting it on the lathe.
9. Securely fasten the workpiece to the faceplate prior to faceplate turning. Use the appropriate size faceplate
to properly support the workpiece. Do not let the screw fasteners interfere with the turning tool at the finished
dimension of the workpiece.
10. When turning between centers, make sure the headstock and tailstock are tight and snug against the work-
piece.
11. Never drive the workpiece into the spur center while the spur center is in the headstock. Set the drive center
into the work piece with a soft mallet prior to installing it on the headstock.
12. Rotate the workpiece by hand to check clearance with the tool rest before turning the machine on.
13. Make sure the spindle lock is DISENGAGED before starting the lathe. Never start the lathe with the spindle
lock in the locked position.
13. Never apply coolants, water, or other liquids to a spinning workpiece.
14. Never stop a rotating workpiece with your hand.
15. Turn off the machine before changing the spindle rotationg direction.
15. Turn off and unplug the machine before doing any cleaning or maintenance. Use a brush or compressed air to
remove chips or debris. Never use your hands to remove excess material and debris.
WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of
least resistance for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL
local codes and ordinances (Fig. A).
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conduc-
tor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
IN ALL CASES, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a licensed
electrician check the outlet.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier
cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have three-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the
tool’s plug as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protect-
ed with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the
OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running
at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
