Additional Safety Instructions For Mills
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 glasses, or use a face shield when milling to reduce the risk of injury from flying chips.
3.WORK HOLDING. Before starting the machine, be certain the workpiece has been properly clamped to the table. If the workpiece comes loose during operation, serious injury or property damage could occur. NEVER hold the workpiece by hand during operation.
4.CHUCK KEY SAFETY. Always remove chuck key, drawbar wrench, and any ser- vice tools immediately after use and before starting the mill to prevent them from being thrown at yourself or bystanders.
5.SPINDLE SPEEDS. To reduce the risk injury from the tool or workpiece breaking apart, always select the spindle speed that is appropriate for the type of work and mate- rial. Allow the mill to reach full speed before beginning a cut.
6.STOPPING SPINDLE. To avoid lacera- tion or abrasion injuries, DO NOT stop the spindle by putting your hand on it. Allow the spindle to stop on its own, or in the case of an emergency, use the spindle brake.

8.MACHINE CARE AND MAINTENANCE.
Never operate the mill with damaged or worn parts. Maintain your mill in proper working condition. Perform routine inspec- tions and maintenance promptly. Put away adjustment tools after use.
9.TOOL HOLDING. Always use the proper tools for your operation. To avoid having a cutting tool be thrown from the mill at a high rate or speed, make sure it is properly and firmly installed.
10.CUTTING TOOL INSPECTION. To avoid the risk of injury from shattering cutting tools, always inspect cutting tools for sharp- ness, chips, or cracks before each use. Replace dull, chipped, or cracked cutting tools immediately. Handle new cutting tools with care. Leading edges are very sharp and can cause lacerations.
11.POWER DISRUPTION. In the event of a local power outage during operation, turn OFF all switches to avoid possible sudden startup once power is restored.
Like all machinery there is potential dan- ger when operating this mill. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this mill with respect and caution to reduce the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precau- tions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
