Additional Safety Instructions for Mill/Drills

1.UNDERSTANDING CONTROLS. Make sure you understand the use and operation of all controls before operating machine.

2.SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use a chip guard in addition to your safety glass- es when milling to prevent bodily injury.

3.WORK HOLDING. Before starting the machine, be certain the workpiece has been properly clamped to the table. NEVER hold the workpiece by hand when using the mill/drill.

4.CHUCK KEY SAFETY. Always remove your 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/drill to gain full speed before beginning a cut.

6.STOPPING SPINDLE. DO NOT stop the spindle by hand. Allow it to come to a stop by itself.

7.AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Keep loose clothing articles such as sleeves, belts or jewelry away from the mill/drill spindle. Never wear gloves when operating the mill/ drill.

8.BE ATTENTIVE. DO NOT leave mill/drill running unattended for any reason.

9.POWER DISRUPTION. In the event of a power outage during use of the mill/drill, turn OFF all switches to avoid possible sud- den start up once power is restored.

10.MACHINE CARE AND MAINTENANCE.

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

11.DISCONNECT POWER. Make sure the mill/drill is OFF, disconnected from the power source and all moving parts have come to a complete stop before starting any inspection, adjustment, or maintenance procedure.

12.CLEAN UP. DO NOT clear chips away by hand—use a brush. Never clear chips while the mill/drill is turning.

13.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.

14.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
