General Power Tool Safety

Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term ???power tool??? in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool.

1.Work area safety

a.Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite acci- dents.

b.Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c.Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2.Electrical safety

a.Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching out- lets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b.Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

c.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d.Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to unplug the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords in- crease the risk of electric shock.

e.If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of

a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

3.Personal safety

a.Stay alert, watch what you are do- ing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired

or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b.Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI-approved eye protec- tion. Safety equipment such as dust mask, full face shield, heavy-duty work gloves, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c.Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left at- tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

d.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

e.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

f.If devices are provided for the con- nection of dust extraction and col- lection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust- related hazards.

4.Power tool use and care

a.Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your ap- plication. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b.Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be con- trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c.Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accesso- ries, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool ac- cidentally.

d.Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to oper- ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e.Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool???s operation. If dam- aged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f.Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g.Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations differ- ent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5.Service

a.Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Lathe Safety Warnings

1.Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or miss- ing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

2.Do not run the Lathe without its cov- ers and guards in place.

3.Use a brush or compressed air to remove metal shavings; never your hands. The metal shavings will be sharp.

4.The tool must always be tight within the tool post or chuck and adjusted to limit projection from the post. This will reduce the possibility of the tool breaking or bending.

5.Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.

6.Do not reach across the Lathe while it is running.

7.Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.

8.Do not use the Lathe if it is off-bal- ance, or the workpiece is not properly centered.

9.Only feed workpiece into a cutting tool against the direction of rotation.

10.Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leav- ing.

11.This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.

12.People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use.

Electromagnetic fields in close prox- imity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemak- er failure. In addition, people with pacemakers should:

???Avoid operating alone.

???Do not use with power switch locked on.

???Properly maintain and inspect to

avoid electrical shock.

???Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Inter- rupter (GFCI) should also be imple- mented ??? it prevents sustained elec- trical shock.

13.Some dust created by power sand- ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of Cali- fornia] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

???Lead from lead-based paints

???Crystalline silica from bricks and ce- ment or other masonry products

???Arsenic and chromium from chemi- cally treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures var- ies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety

Code ?? 25249.5, et seq.)

14.The warnings, precautions, and in- structions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible con- ditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Save these instructions.

Grounding

To prevent electric shock

and death from incorrect grounding wire connection:

Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

3-Prong Plug and Outlet

1.Tools marked with ???Grounding Re- quired??? have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk

of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug

and Outlet.)

2.The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire in- side the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool???s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically ???live??? terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

3.The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong

Plug and Outlet.)

Extension Cords

1.Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.

2.As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using exten- sion cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and pos- sible tool damage.

(See Table A.) The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For ex- ample, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.

(See Table A.)

4.If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Table A.)

5.If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix ???W-A??? (???W??? in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

6.Make sure the extension cord is prop- erly wired and in good electrical con- dition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.

7.Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

3.The setscrew at the back of the Chuck prevents it from unscrewing when rotating the lathe in the reverse direction.

Setscrew

Chuck

4.Loosen the setscrew, and use the provided Chuck removal wrenches to remove the Chuck. Use one tool to hold the spindle in place and the other to rotate the Chuck counter- clockwise.

The Live Center

1.The Live Center supports stock that is too long to be supported by the chuck alone. Stock protruding more than three times its diameter should also be supported by the live center. When using a Live Center, the tail- stock barrel should protrude about

1/2?????? and not more than 3??????.

2.To remove the Live Center, back the tailstock barrel all the way into the casting. The Live Center will pop out; catch it when it comes out to avoid damaging it.

Steady Rest

1.The steady rest supports long, small diameter stock that otherwise could not be turned. The steady rest can also replace the tailstock to allow for cutting tool access at the outboard end of the workpiece.

2.To mount the Steady Rest, secure the bedway from below with the locking plate, and use setscrews to secure it in place.

General Operating Instructions

Every ten hours of operation, lubri- cate the lathe???s gears and ways with white lithium grease, as directed in the Mainte- nance Section of this manual.

1.The Lathe can perform a wide variety of operations; the purchase of refer-

ence materials, such as books about machining or engineering tables, is highly recommended.

2.If Lathe use requires a higher de- gree of accuracy than supplied by the standard set-up, have the Lathe serviced by a qualified machinist.

3.Settings for the spindle, chuck, gibs, ways, and ends, will be determined by the length of the stock and the intended operation.

4.Turn the chuck by hand to make sure it rotates smoothly.

5.Plug the Lathe into a standard, grounded 120V electrical outlet.

General Milling Guidelines

1.When performing any operation with the Lathe it is best to proceed slowly and make several passes.

2.A 1000th of an inch of movement yields a 2000th inch cut.

3.Use of a high-quality cutting fluid (not included) will greatly aid in most mill- ing processes.

Facing Operations

Facing is the process of removing metal from the end of a workpiece to pro- duce a flat surface.

1.To safely perform a facing operation the jaws of the chuck must be as close as possible to the end of the workpiece. The workpiece should not extend more than 2 or 3 times its diameter from the chuck jaws unless the steady rest is used to support the end of the workpiece.

2.Softer metals require higher cutting speeds. Consult a machining manual to determine the rotation speed that must be set to cut the metal.

3.The tumbler gear lever must be in the neutral position so that the leadscrew does not rotate.

4.Clamp the half nut on the leadscrew to keep the saddle from being forced back from the workpiece during cut- ting.

5.To center the workpiece; close the chuck until the jaws touch its surface, twist the workpiece to seat it; then tighten the jaws. Tighten the jaws from all three chuck key positions to ensure even gripping by the jaws.

6.Clamp the cutting tool in the tool post and turn the toolpost so that the tip of the cutting tool will meet the end of the workpiece at a slight angle. The tip of the cutting tool must be at the centerline of the lathe, or the work will be marred.

7.Clamp the toolpost in place and advance the carriage until the tool is even with, but not touching the end of the workpiece.

8.Set the lathe to its lowest speed and turn it on. Make sure the leadscrew is not turning.

9.Turn the lathe off and press the Halfnut lever down to engage it with the leadscrew. Locking the half-nut to the leadscrew will prevent the carriage from moving back away from the workpiece during the facing operation.

10.Use the compound crank to advance the tool until it touches the end of the

workpiece. Use the cross feed crank to back off the tool until it is beyond the diameter of the workpiece.

11.Turn the lathe on and adjust the speed to low RPM.

12.Use the cross feed crank to slowly move the tool towards the workpiece.

13.When the tool touches the workpiece it should start to remove metal from the end. Continue advancing the tool until it reaches the center of the work- piece, then crank the tool back until it is past the end of the workpiece.

14.Continue slowly moving the tool clos- er to the workpiece until the desired facing is achieved.

15.After the facing operation is complet- ed the sides of the workpiece should be filed to eliminate the sharp edge.

Drilling

1.Face the workpiece as described above to ensure a clean surface for drilling.

Note: Drill chucks, center drills and drills are not included with this Lathe.

2.Attach a drill chuck and secure a cen- ter drill into it.

3.Use the center drill that is about the same size as the hole you intend to drill to bore a starter hole. Drilling a starter hole will prevent the drill from wandering off-center.

4.Allow the center drill to cool before removing it from the drill chuck and inserting the drill.

5.Use the drill to bore a hole two full diameters of the drill at a time. After

advancing the drill twice its diameter, back the drill out and clean off shav- ings before continuing.

6.Continue until the desired depth is drilled.

Turning

Turning is the removal of metal from the outer diameter of a cylindrical work- piece to reduce the diameter and to pro- duce a smooth finish on the metal. Longer workpieces may need to use a dead or live center in the tailstock to support the work- piece.

1.Attach tool to the chuck.

2.Adjust the angle of the tool holder so the tool is perpendicular to the side of the workpiece. The left side of the tip of the tool should engage the work, but not the entire front edge.

3.Make sure the half nut and feed le- vers are disengaged.

4.Turn the motor on. The leadscrew should now be rotating counterclock- wise.

5.Position the tool beyond the end of the workpiece and engage the half- nut lever. The carriage should move slowly to the left under power from the leadscrew. When the tool gets to within about 1/4??? of the chuck, disen- gage the half-nut to stop the carriage motion.

6.Repeat until the desired diameter is reached.

Note: When cutting under power be care- ful to not run the tool into the chuck.

Thread Cutting

1.Set the machine up for the desired thread pitch.

2.Insert the appropriate tool into the chuck and secure.

3.Start the machine and engage the half nut.

4.When the tool reaches the workpiece, it will cut the initial threading pass.

5.When the tool reaches the end of the cut, stop the machine by turning the motor off.

6.Back the tool out of the workpiece so that it clears the thread. Do not disen- gage the half nut lever.

7.Reverse the motor direction to allow the cutting tool to traverse back to the starting point.

8.Repeat until you have obtained the desired results.
