G1005Z Mill/Drill
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
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 per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
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 lessen the pos-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
Additional Safety for Mill/Drills
9. POWER DISRUPTION. In the event of a
local power outage during use of the mill,
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 turned OFF, disconnected from
its power source and all moving parts have
come to a complete stop before starting any
inspection, adjustment, or maintenance pro-
cedure.
12. CLEAN-UP. DO NOT clear chips by hand.
Use a brush, and 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 immediately. 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 per-
forming the intended operation, stop using
the machine! Contact our Technical Support
at (570) 546-9663.
1. UNDERSTANDING CONTROLS. Make sure
you understand the use and operation of all
controls.
2. SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use a
chip guard in addition to your safety glasses
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 items away from the mill/drill spindle.
Never wear gloves when operating the mill/
drill.
8. BE ATTENTIVE. DO NOT leave mill/drill run-
ning unattended for any reason.
