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.
