Woodturning requires the use of energized, rotating machinery and by
nature, occupational safety risks will always be present. Failure to
observe safe practices or carelessness at work can result in permanent
injury or even death. One of the main goals of this instruction is to
stress the importance of safety. If any of the methods in the book seem
uncomfortable or unsafe, don’t do it. Find a better way to get the
results you want. Start turning with less complicated exercises unless
you are absolutely sure of your own knowledge and skills.
Notes before you start turning:
• Never turn or use woodworking machines under the influence of alcohol
or drugs!
• Be aware that some wood species may cause allergic reactions. Ensure
the wood you are working with does not cause respiratory symptoms or
skin irritation.
• Dress safely! Loose sleeves, ties, long hair, and jewelry may catch on
parts or pieces of the lathe as they rotate.
• Protect your eyes at all times. Wear goggles or a protective mask
during turning!
• Wear an appropriate filter mask or respirator when turning or sanding!
• Check the blank before attaching it to the lathe. Make sure that there
are no large cracks and bark will not cast off during turning!
• Keep the environment clean and without obstruction around the lathe!
• Make sure that the part is securely fastened. Always double check to
be certain!
• Make sure that the part rotates freely before start rotation of the lathe!
• Remember to keep a positive attitude! Relax and be proud of your
woodworking skills and turn the lathe!
Notes during turning:
• Start the lathe at a low speed when you start turning a new blank!
• Never leave the lathe rotating without supervision!
• Always keep the tool rest as close to the wood as possible!
• Stop the lathe immediately if you hear abnormal noises or notice any
loose attachments!
• Check to make sure that the part is attached firmly on a regular basis!
• Keep the tools sharp! Unsharp tools slow down work and present a
safety risk!
• Remember the possible risk of accidental combustion of oil and wax
cloths! Dispose of your materials according to the instructions in the
product-specific safety data sheet!
• Keep the turning area clean!
• Dust and wood shavings are a potential fire safety risk!
• Keep your phone close to you when turning alone so that you can call
for help in the event of an accident!
