OBJECTIVES
Understand the basic components and functions of a
lathe machine.
Demonstrate proper procedures for setting up a lathe
machine.
Identify common risks and hazards associated with
lathe machine operations.
Apply occupational safety protocols to ensure safe and
efficient operations.
Implement safety measures before, during, and after
lathe machine operation.
Perform regular maintenance to ensure the lathe
machine’s longevity and efficiency.
LATHES MACHINE
Metal lathes are essential tools in
machining, enabling operators to shape
metal parts with precision. However, they
also present significant hazards if not used
correctly. Safety is paramount in metal lathe
operation, as the combination of rotating
parts and sharp cutting tools poses a high
risk of severe injuries. Therefore, strict safety
measures are crucial to preventing
accidents and ensuring safe, efficient
machining practices.
Setting Up Lathe
Machine
1. Workspace Preparation
Clear and organize the area to ensure
safety and focus. Ensure the lathe is on a
stable, anchored surface for precision and
stability.

2. Chuck Setup
Securely attach the chuck by rotating the
chuck key clockwise to firmly grip the
workpiece
Setting Up Lathe
Machine
3. Mounting the Workpiece
Align and center the workpiece in the chuck,
tightening it securely for accurate machining.

4. Tool Selection and Setup


Choose the appropriate cutting tool, secure it
to the tool post, and adjust its height and
angle for precise operation.
COMMON
LATHE RISKS
Contact with
Rotating Parts
The spinning components of a lathe,
such as chucks, spindles, and lead
screws, can cause severe injuries if
operators connect with them
accidentally. Accidental contact can
lead to entanglement, resulting in
severe lacerations, fractures, or
strangulation.
Flying Debris and
Projectiles
As lathes cut and shape materials,
they generate hot chips, coolant, or
other debris. These flying objects pose
a risk to operators and may cause
burns and lacerations.
Tool Ejection
Tools or workpieces can become
dislodged or ejected from the lathe
during operation, especially if they are
improperly secured or have issues
with the lathe’s setup. Always ensure
that everything is tightened in place
before starting the machine.
Noise and
Vibration Hazards
Lathes can generate significant noise
levels and vibrations during operation,
adversely affecting operators’ hearing,
causing fatigue, and affecting
concentration and balance.
Inhalation of Hazardous
Substances
Some machining processes involve
using coolant fluids, lubricants, or
cutting oils, which may release
hazardous substances or generate
airborne particles. Operators may
inhale these substances if not
adequately protected, leading to
respiratory or long-term health
problems.

PRACTICES
Regular Maintenance
Lubrication
Regularly lubricate all moving parts, such as
the headstock, tailstock, carriage, and cross
slide, using manufacturer-recommended
lubricants.

Cleaning
Keep the machine free from debris, chips,
and coolant residue by using brushes, air

blowers, and appropriate cleaning solutions.

Alignment
Periodically check and adjust the alignment
of components like the headstock, tailstock,
and tool post to maintain precision and
reduce wear.
Belt Tension
Ensure drive belts are properly tensioned to
prevent slippage and maintain cutting
accuracy.
Tool Maintenance
Regularly inspect cutting tools, sharpening
or replacing them as needed to achieve
precise cuts and reduce motor strain.

Electrical Components
Inspect electrical connections, switches, and
wiring for wear or damage to prevent
operational issues or safety hazards.

Coolant System
If equipped, regularly check and clean the
coolant system to prevent overheating and
component damage.
