Chucks are heavy! Get assistance when

installing or removing the chuck from the

lathe. Wear heavy duty leather boots for

foot and toe protection, and keep hands and

fingers away from all pinch points. Ignoring

this warning can lead to a severe crushing

injury or finger amputation!

Safety

• Chuck Key Safety:Achuckkeyleftinthe

chuckcanbecomeadangerous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machine.

• Disconnect Power: Disconnectthelathe

frompowerbeforeinstallingandremoving

the chuck or doing any maintenance or

adjustments.Accidentallathestartupcan

causesevereinjuryordeath.

• Secure Clamping: Athrownworkpiece

maycausesevereinjuryorevendeath.

Whenswappingthechuckjawpositions,

keep in mind that maximum gripping

forceisattainedatfulljawandjawscrew

engagement. Ifonlyoneispartiallyengaged,

overallclampingforceisreduced.

• Speed Rates: Operating the lathe where

maximumchuckspeedisexceeded,orattoo

highofaspeedforanunbalancedworkpiece,

cancausetheworkpiecetobethrownfrom

thechuck.Alwaysusetheappropriatefeed

andspeedrates.Athrownworkpiecemay

causesevereinjuryorevendeath.

• Large Chucks: Largechucksareveryheavy

anddifficulttograsp,whichcanleadto

crushedfingersorhandsifmishandled.

Getassistancewheninstallingorremoving

largechuckstoreducethisrisk.Protectyour

handsandtheprecisiongroundwaysby

usingachuckcradleorpieceofplywoodover

thewaysofthelathewhenservicingchucks.

• Safe Clearances: Oftenchuckjawswill

protrudepastthediameterofthechuckand

cancontactacoolantnozzle,tooling,tool

post,orsaddle.Beforestartingthespindle,

makesuretheworkpieceandchuckjaws

haveadequateclearancebyrotatingthenby

handthroughitsentirerangeofmotionby

hand.

• Stopping Lathe By Hand: Stopping the

spindle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chuckbyusingyourhand.

Allowthespindletocometoastoponits

ownorusethebrake(ifequipped).

• Long Stock Safety:

Longstockcanwhip

violently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

The heavy weight of a falling chuck can cause

serious injury.
