• Ensure that the workpiece is securely locked in posi-
tion 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 rotating
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 unplug
it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
• This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of chil-
dren.

• 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 examples
of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or 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 exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment ,such as those dust masks that are spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• People with pacemakers should consult their phy-
sician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields inclose
proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pace-
maker interference or pacemaker failure. In addition,
people with pacemakers should:
- Avoid operating alone.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical
shock.
• The warnings, precautions, and instructions dis-
cussed in this user manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be
understood by the operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Additional safety instructions for the use of face-
plates
• Ensure that the faceplate is the appropriate size to
support the workpiece.
• Ensure that the workpiece is securely fastened to
the faceplate.
• Rough cut the workpiece as close as possible to the
final shape before mounting onto a faceplate.
• Only use scraping chisels for faceplate turning. Cut-
ting chisels can easily be torn out of your hands.
• Pay attention that the woodturning chisel cannot
interfere with the holding screws at the finished di-
mensions of the workpiece.
