| + | Here are some safety instructions for the {{PAGENAME}}. Remember... SAFETY FIRST!!! |
| + | * General shop protocol is important when using the mill. Long hair, long sleeves, jewelry, gloves, and lanyards are all risks to be wrapped up by the spindle and should not be worn. |
| + | * Always make sure that there is plenty of space between the cutting tool and the work piece before turning on the mill. If the tool comes into contact with the work piece before getting up to speed and is set deeper than the maximum cutting depth, things will break. |
| + | * At times your work piece may be obscured by metal chips while cutting. Do not remove them while the machine is running. Turn off the mill, wait till it comes to a complete stop, and then remove the chips. There are some brushes on the tool rack that may be helpful for removing stubborn chips. |
| + | * The milling process is great at creating sharp edges. Be aware of this when handling the work piece and make sure to deburr any sharp edges. |
| + | * Never make contact with the cutters as they are razor sharp and will cut you. |
| + | * Never pass your hand under a cutter. |
