Additional Safety For Mills - Grizzly G0720R Owner's Manual

UNDERSTANDING CONTROLS. Make sure you
understand the use and operation of all controls.
SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use a
guard in addition to your safety goggles when
milling to prevent bodily injury.
WORK HOLDING. Before starting the machine,
be certain the workpiece has been properly
clamped to the table. NEVER hold the workpiece
by hand when using the mill.
CHUCK KEY SAFETY. Always remove your
chuck key, drawbar wrench, and any service tools
immediately after use.
SPINDLE SPEEDS. Select the spindle speed
that is appropriate for the type of work and mate-
rial. Allow the mill to gain full speed before begin-
ning a cut.
POWER DISRUPTION. In the event of a local
power outage during use of the mill, turn OFF all
switches to avoid possible sudden start up once
power is restored.
STOPPING SPINDLE. DO NOT stop the mill
using your hand against the chuck.
CUTTING TOOL INSPECTION. Inspect drills and
end mills for sharpness, chips, or cracks before
each use. Replace dull, chipped, or cracked cut-
ting tools immediately. Handle new cutting tools
with care. Leading edges are very sharp and can
cause lacerations.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
