Additional Safety for Mill/Drills
UNDERSTANDING cONTROLS. Make sure you
understand the use and operation of all controls
before starting the mill/drill.
SAFETY AccESSORIES. to reduce the risk of
injury from flying chips, always use a face shield in
addition to safety glasses when using the mill/drill.
cLEAN-UP. Metal chips can cut your hands. do
not clear chips by hand or compressed air that
can force the chips father into the machine. use a
brush or vacuum, and never clear chips while the
spindle is turning.
SEcURING TOOLING. objects that are thrown
by the spinning action of the mill/drill can be
deadly missiles. Always firmly secure the cutting
tool before starting the machine. Always remove
the chuck key, drawbar wrench, and any tools
immediately after use.
cUTTING TOOL INSPEcTION. inspect cutting
tools for sharpness, chips, or cracks before each
use. replace dull, chipped, or cracked cutting
tools immediately. handle cutting tools with care.
Leading edges are very sharp and can cause
lacerations.
STOPPING SPINDLE. serious injury may occur
if you try to stop the moving spindle by hand. do
not stop the spindle using your hand or any other
object. Allow the spindle to stop on its own.
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, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.

WORK HOLDING. A workpiece that moves unex-
pectedly during operation can result in personal
injury or damage to tooling and the machine. Before
starting the machine, be certain the workpiece is
properly clamped to the table. neVer hold the
workpiece by hand during operation.
MAcHINE cARE AND MAINTENANcE. never
operate the mill/drill with damaged or worn parts
that can break apart and cause injury or property
damage. Maintain your mill/drill in proper working
condition. perform routine inspections and main-
tenance promptly. put tools away after use.
MAINTENANcE/ADJUSTMENTS. to avoid pos-
sible electrocution or physical injury, make sure
the mill is turned OFF, disconnected from power,
and all moving parts have come to a complete
stop before changing cutting tools or starting any
inspection, adjustment or maintenance procedure.
SPINDLE SPEEDS. For safe and good results,
select the spindle speed that is correct for the type
of work and material. Allow the spindle to reach
full speed before beginning a cut.
POWER DISRUPTION. in the event of a local
power outage during operation, turn spindle switch
OFF to avoid possible sudden start up once power
is restored.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment, or poor work results.
