"Assume that all power tools are trying to kill you, and all hand tools are blood-seeking opportunists" Mike T. 2023
This machine uses a powerful motor to spin a workpiece. Lathes are capable of causing life-changing injuries which occur in a fraction of a second. You are responsible for ensuring your own safety; do not operate this machine if you do not feel capable of doing so safely. Trainers will always be happy to assist you if you need it, and would much rather be involved before problems occur, than after.
