SPECIAL WARNINGS WHEN USING THIS DRILLING / MILLING MACHINE

Using this machine may create special hazards.

Take particular care to safeguard yourself and those around you.

Electrical Safety. 

 Never operate any tool if there is an electrical hazard.

  Never operate an electrical

tool in wet conditions. Never operate a tool with an improper electrical cord or extension cord. Never operate
an electrical tool unless you are plugged into a properly grounded outlet, which supplies 110-120 Volts at
60 Hz. We recommend you use a circuit which is protected by an appropriate circuit breaker.

Ejected Material.

 

Use safe practices to avoid injury from ejected material.

 Because milling  tools and

workpieces turn at high speed, there is a danger of being injured by materials that may be ejected. Always wear
ANSI-certified eye protection. Never attempt to machine any item if it is not adequately held. Always stand to
one side of the plane in which the materials are spinning, to avoid being hit if an item is ejected. Never allow
bystanders to be in the proximity of this machine while in operation.

Entanglement.

 

Use extreme caution to prevent loose materials from being caught in the machine.

Never operate this machine with loose clothing, long hair, jewelry, or other items which may become caught in
the tool  or workpieces. In case of entanglement, press the OFF switch immediately.

NOTICE: No list of warnings can be all inclusive. The operator must supply common
sense, and operate this tool in a safe manner.
