Everyday precautions
● This machine is designed for milling and drilling operations 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 ying parti-
cles).
● Wear proper apparel and non-slip footwear – be sure to prevent hair, cloth-
ing or jewelry from becoming entangled in moving parts. Gloves – including
tight-tting 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 and machine ways are secure before commencing
milling or drilling – hold-downs and/or vise fully tightened, X-Y-Z axes locked,
cutting tool secured.
● 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 220V 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).
No list of precautions can cover everything.
You cannot be too careful!
