Operation Tips
Follow these tips for safe and productive
operations:
• Read and understand this entire manual
before beginning any milling operation.
• Ensure the mill is properly lubricated at all
times (refer to Lubrication beginning on
Page 42 for detailed instructions).
•
Clear away all tools and material not directly
involved in the milling operation.
• Only the operator and assistants should be
near the mill during operation. Keep all others
at a safe distance away from the machine.
•
Always wear safety glasses or a face shield
when working with the milling machine. Flying
metal chips are hazardous.
• Keep all headstock and ram locking bolts fully
tightened during cutting operations.
•
Make sure you are using the correct cutting
tool and speed for the milling operation.
•
Never start the mill with the cutting tool in
contact with the workpiece. Always bring the
mill to full speed before starting cutting opera-
tions.
•
Always make sure the workpiece is firmly
held to the table by clamps, fixtures, or other
devices. Never attempt a mill operation while
holding the workpiece with your hands.
• Always turn the power OFF when the cutting
operation is finished.
