Pre-use Checklist

PRE-OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECKS Locate and ensure you are familiar with all machine operations and controls. Ensure all guards are fitted, secure and functional. Do not operate if guards are missing or faulty. Check workspaces and walkways to ensure no slip/trip hazards are present. Ensure the workpiece has been suitably prepared for the lathe operation. Workpiece must be securely fastened to face plate, chuck or between centres. Adjust speed to suit the diameter of the work and turning operation. Rotate the workpiece by hand to check clearance between tool rest and bed. Ensure the cutting tools are sharp and in good condition. As we do not have proper dust extraction you may wish to wear a dust mask – particularly when sanding.
