Lathe, like other productive and industrial work, requires observing its safety rules to avoid accidents and reduce maintenance costs, and lathes require taking safety measures and rules for dealing with rotating electrical machines and sharp machines..
As the lathe must be in operation, the safety rules for electrical machines must be applied, such as:
Checking the electrical connections, their safety and quality, and not using connections that do not bear or do not fit the specifications of the lathe.
Taking into account not to extend its electrical connections in a way that would obstruct anyone moving inside the workshop.
the safety rules for dealing with rotating machines:
• Not to wear long-sleeved or dangling clothes so as not to engage the rotating parts while operating the machine.
Do not wear gloves that are large in size or that have appendages that exceed the size of the hand.
• Not to wear jewelry, necklaces and accessories that may clash with the rotating parts.
And also one of the most important reasons for preventing accidents during the machining process - which should not be neglected or neglected - is to wear face protection, and it is also preferable to wear a mask to protect the respiratory system, and to use chisels that have been well sharpened, making sure to master the installation of the work piece Well in its place in the lathe and check it by hand before operating the machine, and standing at an angle that enables the lathe to complete its work with the possibility of avoiding any flying part, God forbid, and choosing the speed that suits the diameter of the piece of wood, the greater the size and diameter of the piece, the more the speed must be reduced and vice versa, as it must Taking into account that the piece of the chisel rest is as close as possible while working to the piece of wood in place of work, and that the chisel does not touch the piece of wood except after making sure that it rests well on the rest..
