Additional Safety for Mill/Drills
UNDERSTANDING CONTROLS. Make sure you understand the use and operation of all controls before starting the mill/drill.
SAFETY ACCESSORIES. To reduce the risk of injury from flying chips, always use a face shield in addition to safety glasses when using the mill/drill.
SECURING TOOLING. Objects that are thrown by the spinning action of the mill/drill can be deadly missiles. Always firmly secure the cutting tool before starting the machine. Always remove the chuck key, drawbar wrench, and any tools immediately after use.
CUTTING TOOL INSPECTION. Inspect cutting tools for sharpness, chips, or cracks before each use. Replace dull, chipped, or cracked cutting tools immediately. Handle cutting tools with care. Leading edges are very sharp and can cause lacerations.
STOPPING SPINDLE. Serious injury may occur if you try to stop the moving spindle by hand. DO NOt stop the spindle using your hand or any other object. Allow the spindle to stop on its own.
WORK HOLDING. A workpiece that moves unex- pectedly during operation can be ejected from the machine, causing personal injury or property damage. Before starting the machine, be certain the workpiece is properly clamped to the table. NEVER hold the workpiece by hand during opera- tion.
MACHINE CARE AND MAINTENANCE. Never operate the mill/drill with damaged or worn parts that can break apart during operation. Maintain your mill/drill in proper working condition. Perform routine inspections and maintenance promptly. Put tools away after use.
MAINTENANCE/ADJUSTMENTS. To avoid pos- sible electrocution or physical injury, make sure the mill is turned OFF, disconnected from power, and all moving parts have come to a complete stop before changing cutting tools or starting any inspection, adjustment or maintenance procedure.
SPINDLE SPEEDS. For safe and good results, select the spindle speed that is correct for the type of work and material. Allow the spindle to reach full speed before beginning a cut.
POWER DISRUPTION. In the event of a local power outage during operation, turn spindle switch OFF to avoid a possible sudden start up once power is restored.
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre- cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be com- plete. 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 personal injury, damage to equip- ment, or poor work results.
