-8-

:C<8I@E> :?@GJ% Metal chips can easily cut bare 

skin—even through a piece of cloth. Avoid clear-
ing chips by hand or with a rag. Use a brush or 
vacuum to clear metal chips.

:?L:B B<P J8=<KP% A chuck key left in the 

chuck can become a deadly projectile when the 
spindle is started. Always remove the chuck key 
after using it. Develop a habit of not taking your 
hand off of a chuck key unless it is away from 
the chuck.

KFFCJ<C<:K@FE% Cutting with an incorrect or dull 

tool bit will often overload the bit and cause it 
to dig into the workpiece and snap. As a result, 
hot razor-sharp shards may be ejected that can 
result in a burn or blinding injury. To increase 
safety, decrease tool bit load, and provide the 
best finish possible, always use the correct tool 
and one that is sharp.

JG<<; I8K<J% Operating the lathe at the wrong 

speed can cause nearby parts to break or the 
workpiece to come loose, which will result in 
dangerous projectiles that could cause severe 
impact injury. Large workpieces must be turned 
at slow speeds. Always use the appropriate feed 
and speed rates.

JKFGG@E> JG@E;C< 9P ?8E;% Stopping the spin-

dle by putting your hand on the workpiece or 
chuck creates an extreme risk of entanglement, 
impact, crushing, friction, or cutting hazards. 
Never attempt to slow or stop the lathe spindle 
with your hand. Allow the spindle to come to a 
stop on its own or use the brake (if equipped). 

CFE> JKF:B J8=<KP% Long stock can whip vio-

lently if not properly supported, causing serious 
impact injury and damage to the lathe. Reduce 
this risk by supporting any stock that extends 
from the chuck/headstock more than three 
times its own diameter. Always turn long stock 
at slow speeds.

J8=< :C<8I8E:<J% Workpieces that crash into 

other components on the lathe may throw dan-
gerous projectiles in all directions, leading to 
impact injury and damaged equipment. Before 
starting the spindle, make sure the workpiece 
has adequate clearance by hand-rotating it 
through its entire range of motion. Also, check 
the tool and tool post clearance, chuck clear-
ance, and saddle clearance.

I<DFM@E>&@EJK8CC@E> :?L:BJ% Chucks are 

heavy and often oily and slippery to hold. Losing 
your grip on a chuck can lead to crushed hands 
or amputated fingers. To reduce this risk and 
protect the lathe bed, cover the bed with a 
sheet of wood and use a chuck cradle. For large 
chucks, also get the assistance of one or more 
people, and use an appropriate hoisting appara-
tus when installing or removing.

J<:LI@E> NFIBG@<:<% A thrown workpiece may 

cause severe injury or even death. When swap-
ping the chuck jaw positions, double-check that 
the jaw fasteners are tight and that the top jaw 
is fully seated with the lower jaw no gaps exist 
between the two. When clamping a workpiece, 
maximum gripping force is attained at full jaw 
and scroll gear engagement. If jaw and scroll 
gear are only partially engaged, clamping force 
is reduced.

:I8J?<J% Tooling or components that contact a 

spinning chuck may shatter sending metal frag-
ments in all directions resulting in severe impact 
injuries and major damage to the lathe. Reduce 
this risk by releasing automatic feeds after use 
and checking clearances before starting the 
lathe. 

:LKK@E> =CL@; J8=<KP% Contaminated cutting 

fluid is a toxic biohazard that can cause poison-
ing from skin contact. Incorrectly positioned 
cutting fluid nozzles can splash on the operator 
or the floor, resulting in an exposure or slipping 
hazard. To decrease your risk, change cutting 
fluid regularly and use the system carefully.
