• Protective devices
Leave existing protective device on their positions and keep them operable.
• Use the correct tools.
Only use suitable tools or accessories for the turning work. Avoid an unnecessary load on tool. Hold the
turning tool in good condition. Sharp and clean tools guarantee best and safe results. Also bring the tools
in the right position to the workpiece.
• Never step on machine and tools.
A tilting machine or accidentally touched incisive tool can cause serious injury.
• Remove adjusting key and wrench.
Never leave the socket wrench in the chuck. The socket wrench can be thrown out by starting the chuck
and cause serious injuries. Make a habit of making sure that any tool has been removed before switching
on the machine.
• Cleaning the lathe.
Turn off the lathe before cleaning and disconnect the mains plug. Use a brush to remove shavings and
dirt.
• Attention at work.
Focus on your operation. A distraction through talks or carelessness can lead to serious injuries.
Always ensure a correct body posture and balance. Do not operate the machine when you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
• Check for damaged parts.
Before you use the lathe or tools, carefully inspect them for damage. Make sure that these parts are in a
proper condition and their intended function is guaranteed.
Check the alignment and fastening moving parts. Defective parts can affect the operation and cause inju-
ries. Damaged parts must be repaired professionally or replaced.
• Work on the lathe
When turned off electric voltage, check the spindle by turning it by hand whether the workpiece can move
freely. Check the workpiece to prevent a breaking out of parts of the workpiece during the turning. Keep
in mind that hollow areas or wide cracks can still be liquid after hours when using adhesives, also Cya-
noacrylate Superglue. They can then when turning, due to the centrifugal forces, get out and be thrown
towards the flying chips, therefore in the direction of the turner, and be a risk of injury or pose a health
hazard.
Before starting the spindle, always check whether the correct speed is set.
Use of lowest speed for new or non-circular workpieces.
Do the turning with recommended speed (table fig. 29).
Never slow down outgoing workpieces by hand.
Set the hand rest as close as possible (approx. 5-10 mm) to the workpiece. Turn the workpiece before
each start by hand, to ensure that it runs freely. Turn off the lathe from time to time to adjust the hand rest.
