operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on
the machine and in this manual. Failure to
comply with all of these warnings may cause
serious injury.
3. This manual is intended to familiarize you with
the technical aspects of this lathe. It is not, nor
was it intended to be, a training manual.

by properly trained and experienced personnel
only. If you are not familiar with the proper and
safe operation of a lathe, do not use until
proper training and knowledge have been
obtained.
5. Always wear approved safety glasses/face
shields while using this lathe. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.

watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up

confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid
floor strips are recommended. Do not wear
