• This machine is intended for use by experienced users familiar with metal-
working hazards.
• Untrained or unsupervised operators risk serious injury.
• Wear ANSI-approved full-face or eye protection at all times when using the
machine (everyday eyeglasses are not reliable protection against flying par-
ticles).
• Wear proper apparel and non-slip footwear – be sure to prevent hair, clothing
or jewelry from becoming entangled in moving parts. Gloves – including tight-
fitting disposables – can be hazardous!
• Be sure the work area is properly lit.
• Never leave chuck keys, wrenches or other loose tools on the machine.
• Be sure the workpiece, toolholder(s) and machine ways are secure before
commencing operations.
• Use moderation: light cuts, low spindle speeds and slow table motion give
better, safer results than "hogging".
• Don't try to stop a moving spindle by hand – allow it to stop on its own.
• Disconnect 220 Vac power from the mill before maintenance operations such
as oiling or adjustments.
• Maintain the machine with care – check lubrication and adjustments daily
before use.
• Clean the machine routinely – remove chips by brush or vacuum, not com-
pressed air (which can force debris into the ways).
