OPERATION MANUAL
2.1 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS Cont.
UNDERSTANDING CONTROLS.
Make sure
you understand the use and operation of all
controls.
SAFETY ACCESSORIES.
Always use a chip
guard in addition to your safety glasses when
milling to prevent bodily injury.
WORK HOLDING
. Before starting the ma-
chine, be certain the workpiece has been prop-
erly clamped to the table. NEVER hold the
workpiece by hand when using the mill.
CHUCK KEY SAFETY
. Always remove your
chuck key, drawbar wrench, and any service
tools immediately after use.
CLEAN-UP.
DO NOT Clear chips by hand. Use
a brush, and never clear chips while the mill is
turning.
CUTTING TOOL INSPECTION
. Inspect
drills and end mills for sharpness, 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.
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.
POWER DISRUPTION
. In the event of a lo-
cal power outage during use of the mill, turn
OFF all switches to avoid possible sudden
start up once power is restored.
SPINDLE DIRECTION CHANGES
. Never
reverse spindle direction when milling, bor-
ing, or facing a workpiece.
STOPPING SPINDLE.
DO NOT stop the
mill/drill using your hand against the chuck.
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.
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.
