2. General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below 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 or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
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 earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or 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 for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing 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 personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow
you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application. 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 controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove
the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
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 operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, 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 different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.

3. Woodturning Lathe Safety Warnings
Safe Operation
Familiarise yourself with the machine
• Machining operations using wood turning lathes have a history of serious
accidents. Most serious accidents resulted from the work piece being
thrown from the lathe whilst turning. Other accidents can be caused by
loose clothing being drawn in to the rotating work piece or hands becom-
ing trapped between the rotating work piece and fixed parts of the lathe.
2. Before switching the machine ‘ON’
• Before attaching a work piece to a faceplate, always prepare it to be as
round as possible. This will minimise vibration whilst turning. For further
instructions please see the section of this manual entitled Intended Use
of the Lathe and Basic Woodturning Instructions.
• Adjust the tool rest to the correct height and distance from the work
piece and check that all fixings are secure.
• Check that the size of the work piece is within the safe working capacities
of the lathe as detailed in the manual.
• Select the correct speed according to the size and type of work piece.
The slowest speed is the safest speed to start any new work piece.
• Always rotate the work piece by hand before starting the lathe to ensure
it does not come into contact with the tool rest. If the work piece strikes
the tool rest during operation, it could be split and thrown from
the lathe.
• When using a faceplate always ensure the work piece is well secured with
screws of a suitable diameter and length.
• Remove any loose knots and bark from the work piece before mounting it
to the lathe.
• If mounting a work piece between centres, always ensure that the tail-
stock is correctly adjusted and fully secure. Check that the locking handle
for the tailstock barrel is fully tightened.
3. Whilst using the lathe
• Do not allow the turning tool to dig in to the work piece, which could
result in the work piece splitting or being thrown from the lathe. Always
position the tool rest at the correct height. For further instructions please
see the section of this manual entitled Intended Use of the Lathe
and Basic Woodturning Instructions.
• Before starting to machine a work piece that is off centre or not perfectly
round, always set the machine to the slowest speed and gradually
increase speed as the work piece becomes more balanced as material is
removed. Running the lathe too fast could cause the work piece to be
thrown from the lathe or the turning tool to be snatched from
your hands.
• Always store turning tools in a safe place away from the work area of the
lathe. Never reach over the rotating work piece to reach for turning tools
or accessories.
• Never attempt to adjust the position of the tool rest whilst the machine is
running. Always switch the machine ‘OFF’ and wait until the work piece
has stopped rotating before attempting any adjustments.
• Do not mount a work piece that contains excessive splits or loose knots
or bark.
• Keep firm hold and control of the turning tool at all times. Use extreme
caution when knots and voids are exposed in the work piece.
• Finish all hand sanding before removing the work piece from the lathe.
Do not exceed the speed used for the last cutting operation. For further
instructions please see the section of this manual entitled Intended Use
of the Lathe and Basic Woodturning Instructions.
• Do not attempt to remount a work piece that has been turned on a
faceplate unless you are deliberately turning eccentric work. You cannot
remount faceplate turned work and expect it to run true, as the timber
will have expanded or contracted.
• Do not remount a work piece that has been turned between centres if the
original centres have been altered or removed, unless you are deliberately
turning eccentric work.
• If re-mounting any work piece, always set the machine to the slowest
speed and gradually increase the speed as the work piece becomes more
balanced as material is removed.
• Use extra caution when mounting a work piece that has been turned
between centres to a faceplate, or when mounting a faceplate turning
between centres, for subsequent machining operations. Always ensure
that the lathe is set to the slowest speed before switching ON.
• Do not attempt to perform any machining operations when holding the
work piece by hand.
• Do not mount a reamer, milling cutter, wire wheel, buffing wheel, drill bit
or any other tool to the headstock spindle.
• Always ensure that the turning tool is in contact with the tool rest and
fully supported before applying the tool to the work piece.
• When the tool rest holder unit is not in use (e.g. when sanding), it should
be moved away from the headstock, and the tool rest removed.
4. Maintenance
• Before attempting any maintenance and particularly when cleaning the
machine, always remove any accessories and tooling from the machine.
• Always ensure that any accessories used on the lathe are kept clean and
free from rust and deposits of resin.
• Keep all turning tools sharp and in good condition. Check that the han-
dles are secure and not split or damaged.
5. This machine falls under the scope of the ‘Health and Safety at Work etc.
Act 1974’, and the ‘Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations
1998’. In addition the elimination or control of risks from wood dust is in-
cluded in the above regulations and the ‘Control of Substances Hazardous
to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002’. We recommend that you study and
follow these regulations.

8. Assembly
The machine must be unplugged and the power switch must be
in the OFF position until the machine is assembled.
The lathe must not be lifted by only one person due to its
weight. Always lift with care and hold the lathe by the bed.
Installing the Tailstock Hand Wheel Handle
Screw the hand wheel handle into the threaded hole on the rear of the
tailstock hand wheel, Fig 8.1, using a flat blade screwdriver.
Installing the Rubber Feet
The lathe features 4 threaded holes in the base of the casting to hold the
rubber feet, 2 at the headstock end of the lathe, Fig 8.2, and 2 at the
tailstock end, Fig 8.3. Screw each rubber foot to each corner of the lathe
as shown in Fig 8.4. The rubber feet feature adjusting nuts to allow the
machine to be levelled on the surface it is to be used upon.
Securing the Lathe to a Solid Work Surface or Suitable Stand
The DML250 can be used freestanding on a bench. If required, the lathe
can be attached either to a solid work surface at least 25 mm thick, or a
suitable stand, using the 4 mounting holes located at the base of the lathe
as show in Figs 8.2 and 8.3. If mounting to a bench, drill holes in the work
surface using a 9 mm (5/16”) drill bit, following the measurements shown
in Fig 8.5.
The lathe must only be used when secured in a stable position.
Secure the lathe to the bench using M8 bolts, to match the thread size of
the mounting holes. Do not attempt to use bolts of a different size as this
may damage the thread of the mounting holes.

If the lathe is to be attached to a bench, spacers of at least 25
mm (1”) depth must be used at each end of the lathe to raise it
from the bench surface and allow for movement of the motor,
see Fig 8.6.
If the lathe is to be mounted to a stand, unless the mounting
plate of the stand allows movement of the motor, spacers must
also be used.
Please note: Use of the DML305/A Leg Stand is recommended.
When oriented correctly, the mounting plates of the
DML305/A allow for movement of the motor, eliminating the
need for spacers.
