Preface
Machine Safety
Safe operaon of the machine depends on its proper use and the precauons taken by the operator.
Read and understand this manual prior to mill use. Only trained personnel — with a clear and
thorough understanding of its operaon and safety requirements — should operate this mill.
General Safety:

• Keep work area well lit and deploy addional lighng, if needed.
Operaonal Safety:
• Understand CNC mills are automacally controlled and may start at any me.
• Never operate with unbalanced tooling or spindle xtures.
• Remove all tools (wrenches, chuck keys, etc.) from spindle and machine table before starng
operaons; loose items can become dangerous projecles.
• Use adequate work clamping; loose workpieces can become dangerous projecles.
• Protect your hands. Stop machine spindle and ensure mill moon has stopped before:
- Reaching into any part of the machine moon envelope
- Changing tools, parts or adjusng the workpiece
- Changing belt/pulley posion
- Clearing away chips, oil or coolant; always use a chip scraper or brush
- Making an adjustment to part, xture, coolant nozzle or when taking measurements
- Removing protecve shields or safeguards; never reach around a guard
• Keep work area clear of cluer as mill moon can occur when keys are accidently pressed or
objects fall on keyboard, resulng in unexpected moon.
• Posion clamping aachments clear of tool path. Be aware of workpiece cutos that could be
cut free during operaons and become dangerous projecles.
• Always use proper feeds/speeds, as well as depth/width of cut to prevent tool breakage.
• Check for damaged tools/workpieces and cease operaons if detected; replace before
restarng operaons as these can become dangerous projecles. Never use longer or larger
