Lathes are important processing equipment that can be used to process various metal and non-metal materials. They are an indispensable part of industrial production. However, since there are certain risks and safety hazards in lathe operation, special attention needs to be paid to the following matters.

First of all, lathe processing requires the use of cutting tools to cut materials, so operating procedures need to be strictly followed to ensure the safe use of cutting tools. Operators must wear protective gloves, goggles and other protective equipment to prevent dangerous situations such as debris and cutting tools being thrown. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the processing load of the lathe is within the specified limits to avoid unexpected situations.

In addition, lathes require regular maintenance and repairs to ensure the normal operation of their equipment. For example, it is necessary to check the running-in condition of the lathe, the use of the lubrication system, and the normal operation of the machine relief angle, etc. For problematic mechanical parts, they should be repaired or replaced in time to avoid potential safety hazards.

In addition, operating procedures must be strictly followed for the use of electrical equipment to ensure the normal use of the lathe. Regularly check the electrical system, wires, cables, etc., and check whether the leakage protection measures of the shell are normal. In addition, when using welding, cutting and other tools, appropriate safety measures must be taken to prevent unsafe situations such as electric shocks and fires.

Finally, the use of lathes must comply with professional standards and specifications. Operators should read them carefully and ensure that they meet the relevant requirements of the standards before operating the lathe.

To sum up, the safety hazards of lathes mainly include the use of cutting tools, equipment maintenance and repair, the use of electrical equipment, and compliance with standards and specifications. Only by strictly complying with relevant safety regulations and requirements can the safe use of lathes be ensured and the possibility of accidents reduced.
