Additional Safety for Mill/Drills
1.UNDERSTANDING CONTROLS. Make sure you understand the use and operation of all controls.
2.SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use a chip guard in addition to your safety glasses 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.
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.POWER DISRUPTION. In the event of a local power outage during use of the mill, turn OFF all switches to avoid possible sud- den start up once power is restored.
7.SPINDLE DIRECTION CHANGES. Never reverse spindle direction while the mill/drill is in motion.
8.STOPPING SPINDLE. DO NOT stop the mill/drill using your hand against the chuck.
9.BE ATTENTIVE. DO NOT leave mill/drill run- ning unattended for any reason.
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 is turned OFF, disconnected from its power source and all moving parts have come to a complete stop before starting any inspection, adjustment, or maintenance procedure.
12.AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Keep loose clothing articles such as sleeves, belts or jew- elry items away from the mill spindle. Never wear gloves when operating the mill.
13.TOOL HOLDING. Always use the proper tools for the material you are milling. Make sure they are held firmly in the proper tool holder for the job.
