Use a minimum of three independent
clamping devices to hold a non-concentric
workpiece onto the faceplate. Failure to do
so could cause the workpiece to be ejected
from the lathe, which could result in serious
personal injury or property damage.

Note: Take into account the rotation and
cutting forces that will be applied to the
workpiece when clamping it to the faceplate.
Always use a low spindle speed when
machining non-concentric workpieces or
for off-center turning to avoid ejecting the
workpiece from the mounting device at
a high rate of speed. Failure to heed this
warning could lead to serious personal
injury, death or property damage.
