Additional Milling Machine Safety

1.Understanding Controls: The mill is a complex machine that presents severe cutting or amputation hazards if used incorrectly. Make sure you understand the use and operation of all controls before you begin milling.

2.Safety Accessories: Flying chips or debris from the cutting operation can cause eye injury or blindness. Always use a chip guard in addition to your safety glasses or use a face shield when milling.

3.Work Holding: Milling a workpiece that is not properly clamped to the table could cause the workpiece to fly into the operator with deadly force! Before starting the machine, be certain the workpiece has been properly clamped to the table. NEVER hold the workpiece by hand during operation.

4.Spindle Speed: To avoid tool or workpiece breakage that could send flying debris at the operator and bystanders, use the correct spindle speed for the operation. Allow the mill to gain full speed before beginning the cut.

5.Spindle Direction Change: Changing spindle rotation direction while it is spinning could lead to impact injury from broken tool or workpiece debris, and workpiece or machine damage. ALWAYS make sure the spindle is at a complete stop before changing spindle direction.

6.Stopping Spindle: To reduce the risk of hand injuries or entanglement hazards, DO NOT attempt to stop the spindle with your hand or a tool. Allow the spindle to stop on its own or use the spindle brake.

7.Chip Cleanup: Chips from the operation are sharp and hot, which can cause burns or cuts. Using compressed air to clear chips could cause them to fly into your eyes, and may drive them deep into the working parts of the machine. Use a brush or vacuum

to clear away chips and debris from the machine or workpiece and NEVER clear chips while the spindle is turning.

8.Machine Care & Maintenance: Operating the mill with excessively worn or damaged machine parts increases the risk of machine or workpiece breakage which could eject hazardous debris at the operator. Operating a mill in poor condition will also reduce the quality of the results. To reduce this risk, maintain the mill in proper working condition by ALWAYS promptly performing routine inspections and maintenance.

9.Cutting Tool Usage: Cutting tools have very sharp leading edges—handle them with care! Using cutting tools that are in good condition helps to ensure quality milling results and reduces the risk of personal injury from broken tool debris. Inspect cutting tools for sharpness, chips, or cracks before each use, and ALWAYS make sure the cutting tools are firmly held in place before starting the machine.
