Additional Safety Instructions For Mills
1.
UNDERSTANDING CONTROLS. Make
sure you understand the use and operation
of all controls.
2.
SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use a
chip guard in addition to your safety glasses
or use a face shield when milling to reduce
the risk of injury from flying chips.
3.
WORK HOLDING. Before starting the
machine, be certain the workpiece has been
properly clamped to the table. NEVER hold
the workpiece by hand during operation.
4.
CHUCK KEY SAFETY. Always remove
chuck key, drawbar wrench, and any service
tools immediately after use.
5.
SPINDLE SPEEDS. Select the spindle
speed that is appropriate for the type of
work and material. Allow the mill to gain full
speed before beginning a cut.
6.
POWER DISRUPTION. In the event of a
local power outage during operation, turn
OFF all switches to avoid possible sudden
start up once power is restored.
7.
SPINDLE DIRECTION CHANGES. Never
reverse spindle direction while the spindle is
in motion.
8.
STOPPING SPINDLE. DO NOT stop the
spindle using your hand. Allow the spindle to
stop on its own, or use the spindle brake.
9.
CLEAN-UP. DO NOT clear chips by hand
or compressed air. Use a brush or vacuum,
and never clear chips while the spindle is
turning.
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this mill. Accidents are frequently
caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this mill with respect and caution to
lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored,
serious personal injury may occur.

Never operate the mill with damaged or
worn parts. Maintain your mill in proper
working condition. Perform routine inspec-
tions and maintenance promptly. Put away
adjustment tools after use.

is turned OFF, disconnected from its power
source and all moving parts have come to a
complete stop before changing cutting tools,
starting any inspection, adjustment, or main-
tenance procedure.
12. AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. DO NOT
wear loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry when
operating mill. Tie back long hair and roll up
sleeves.
13. TOOL HOLDING. Always use the proper
tools for your operation. Make sure tools are
held firmly in place.
14. CUTTING TOOL INSPECTION. Inspect
drills and end mills for sharpness, chips,
or cracks before each use. Replace dull,
chipped, or cracked cutting tools immedi-
ately. Handle new cutting tools with care.
Leading edges are very sharp and can
cause lacerations.
