Everyday precautions
• This machine is designed for milling and drilling operations by
experienced users familiar with metal-working hazards.
• Untrained or unsupervised operators risk serious injury.
• Wear ANSI-approved full-face or eye protection at all times
when using the machine (everyday eyeglasses are not reliable
protection against ying particles).
• Wear proper apparel and non-slip footwear – be sure to pre-
vent hair, clothing or jewelry from becoming entangled in mov-
ing parts. Gloves – including tight-tting disposables – can be
hazardous!
• Be sure the work area is properly lit.
• Never leave chuck keys, wrenches or other loose tools on the
machine.
• Be sure the workpiece and machine ways are secure before
commencing milling or drilling – hold-downs and/or vise fully
tightened, X-Y-Z axes locked, cutting tool secured.
• Use moderation: light cuts, low spindle speeds, slow table mo-
tion give better, safer results than “hogging”.
• Don’t try to stop a moving spindle by hand – allow it to stop on
its own.
• Disconnect 110V power from the mill before maintenance op-
erations such as oiling or adjustments.
• Maintain the machine with care – check lubrication and adjust-
ments daily before use.
• Clean the machine routinely – remove chips by brush or
vacuum, not compressed air (which can force debris into the
ways).

erything. You cannot be too careful!
