from your hands.
c. Always revolve the workpiece
by hand before turn_ng on the motor.
If the workpiece
strikes the tool
rest, it could split and be thrown out of the Lathe.
d. Do not allow the turning
tool to "'bite"

Ievet of the tool rest,
e, Do not run the Lathe in the wrong direction.
This
could cause the turning
