Additional Safety Instructions For Mills

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this mill. Accidents are frequently

caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this mill with respect and caution to

reduce the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious

personal injury may occur.

UNDERSTANDING CONTROLS: The mill is a

complex machine that presents severe cutting or

entanglement hazards if used incorrectly. Make

sure you understand the use and operation of all

controls before you begin milling.

SAFETY ACCESSORIES: Flying chips or debris

from the cutting operation can cause eye injury

or blindness. Always use a chip guard in addition

to your safety glasses, or use a face shield when

milling.

WORK HOLDING: Milling a workpiece that is not

properly clamped to the table could cause the

workpiece to be thrown at the operator with deadly

force! Before starting the machine, be certain

the workpiece has been properly clamped to the

table. NEVER hold the workpiece by hand during

operation.

SPINDLE SPEED: To avoid tool or workpiece

breakage that could send flying debris at the

operator and bystanders, use the correct spindle

speed and feed rate for the operation. Allow the

mill to gain full speed before beginning the cut.

SPINDLE DIRECTION CHANGE: Changing

spindle rotation direction while it is spinning could

lead to gear damage or impact injury from broken

tool or workpiece debris. ALWAYS make sure the

spindle has completely stopped before changing

spindle direction.

STOPPING SPINDLE: To reduce the risk of

hand injuries or entanglement hazards, DO NOT

attempt to stop the spindle with your hand or a

tool. Allow the spindle to stop on its own or use

the spindle brake.

CHIP CLEANUP: Chips from the operation are

sharp and hot and can cause cuts or burns. Using

compressed air to clear chips could cause them

to fly into your eyes and may drive them deep into

the working parts of the machine. Use a brush or

vacuum to clear away chips and debris from the

machine or workpiece and NEVER clear chips

while the spindle is turning.

MACHINE CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

Operating the mill with excessively worn or dam-

aged machine parts increases the risk of machine

or workpiece breakage, which could eject hazard-

ous debris at the operator. Operating a mill that

is in poor condition will also reduce the quality of

the results. To reduce this risk, maintain the mill

in proper working condition by ALWAYS promptly

performing routine inspections and maintenance.

CUTTING TOOL USAGE: Cutting tools have

very sharp leading edges—handle them with

care! Using cutting tools that are in good condition

helps to ensure quality milling results and reduces

the risk of personal injury from broken tool debris.

Inspect cutting tools for sharpness, chips, or

cracks before each use, and ALWAYS make sure

the cutting tools are firmly held in place before

starting the machine.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Availability

Before installing the machine, consider the avail-

ability and proximity of the required power supply

circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the

requirements for this machine, a new circuit must

be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,

fire, or equipment damage, installation work and

electrical wiring must be done by an electrican or

qualified service personnel in accordance with all

applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or

equipment damage may

occur if machine is not

correctly grounded and

connected to the power

supply.

Full-Load Current Rating

The full-load current rating is the amperage a

machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.

On machines with multiple motors, this is the

amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all

motors and electrical devices that might operate

at one time during normal operations.

Full-Load Current Rating at 110V ...... 18 Amps

Full-Load Current Rating at 220V ....... 9 Amps

The full-load current is not the maximum amount

of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine

is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond

the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length

of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—

especially if connected to an undersized circuit.

To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over-

loading the machine during operation and make

sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that

meets the requirements in the following section.

For your own safety and protection of

property, consult an electrician if you are

unsure about wiring practices or electrical

codes in your area.

Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man-

ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one

machine will be running at a time. If this machine

will be connected to a shared circuit where mul-

tiple machines will be running at the same time,

consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the

circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical

equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel

in the building and the machine. The power sup-

ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to

safely handle the full-load current drawn from the

machine for an extended period of time. (If this

machine is connected to a circuit protected by

fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The

wire with green insulation (with or without yellow

stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair

or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-

essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding

wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per-

sonnel if you do not understand these grounding

requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether

the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice

that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-

nect it from power, and immediately replace it with

a new one.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord

with this machine.

If you must use an extension

cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only

on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may

damage electrical components and shorten motor

life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord

size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller

(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must

contain a ground wire, match the required plug

and receptacle, and meet the following require-

ments:

Minimum Gauge Size ...........................14 AWG

Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.

Grounding Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event

of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance for electric current.

For 110V operation: This machine is equipped

with a power cord that has an equipment-ground-

ing wire and a grounding plug (see following fig-

ure). The plug must only be inserted into a match-

ing receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all local codes

and ordinances.

For 220V operation: The plug specified under

“

Circuit Requirements for 220V” on the previous

page has a grounding prong that must be attached

to the equipment-grounding wire on the included

power cord. The plug must only be inserted into

a matching receptacle (see following figure) that

is properly installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

SHOCK HAZARD!

Two-prong outlets do not meet the grounding

requirements for this machine. Do not modify

or use an adapter on the plug provided—if

it will not fit the outlet, have a qualified

electrician install the proper outlet with a

verified ground.

Cleanup

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are

coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that

prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.

This rust preventative works extremely well, but it

will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your

machine. The time you spend doing this now will

give you a better appreciation for the proper care

of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven-

tative, but the following steps work well in a wide

variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-

turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you

use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated

area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

•

Disposable Rags

•

Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

•

Safety glasses & disposable gloves

•

Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

1.

Put on safety glasses.

2.

Coat the rust preventative with a liberal

amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak

for 5–10 minutes.

3.

Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-

er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe

off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,

scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe

off the rest with the rag.

4.

Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,

then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality

metal protectant to prevent rust.

NOTICE

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as

acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may

damage painted surfaces.

Weight Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight

of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon

which the machine is placed will bear the weight

of the machine, additional equipment that may be

installed on the machine, and the heaviest work-

piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the

weight of the operator and any dynamic loading

that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will

be processed through this machine and provide

enough space around the machine for adequate

operator material handling or the installation of

auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,

leave enough space around the machine to open

or remove doors/covers as required by the main-

tenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Physical Environment

The physical environment where the machine is

operated is important for safe operation and lon-

gevity of machine components. For best results,

operate this machine in a dry environment that is

free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi-

cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.

Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are

generally those where the ambient temperature

range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity

range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the

environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or

bumps.

Electrical Installation

Place this machine near an existing power source.

Make sure all power cords are protected from

traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,

or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to

a means of disconnecting the power source or

engaging a lockout/tagout device, if required.

Lighting

Lighting around the machine must be adequate

enough that operations can be performed safely.

Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract

or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Children or untrained people

may be seriously injured by

this machine. Only install in an

access restricted location.

Moving & Placing

Base Unit

The vertical mill is a

heavy machine. Serious

personal injury may

occur if safe moving

methods are not used.

To be safe, get assis-

tance and use power

equipment rated for at

least 1500 lbs. to move

the shipping crate and

remove the machine

from the crate.

To move and place this mill:

1. After removing the crate from the shipping

pallet, wrap lifting straps around the turret, as

shown in Figure 8, and securely attach them

to your power lifting equipment.

Figure 8. Positioning the lifting straps.

Turret

Lifting Straps

2. Use a

1

⁄2" wrench to unbolt the mill from the

pallet.

3. With assistance to steady the machine, move

it as close to the prepared location as pos-

sible.

4. Lift it just enough to clear the pallet and any

floor obstacles, then situate it in its final posi-

tion.

5. When mounting the machine to the floor, use

a precision level to make sure the table is

level from side to side and front to back.

Note: If necessary, use shims to make sure

there are no gaps between the base and the

floor to avoid cracking or warping the cast

iron.

Figure 10. Machine mount example.

Using Machine Mounts

Using machine mounts, shown in Figure 10, gives

the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduc-

tion. The large size of the foot pads distributes

the weight of the machine to reduce strain on the

floor.

NOTICE

Anchor studs are stronger and more per-

manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;

however, they will stick out of the floor,

which may cause a tripping hazard if you

decide to move your machine.

Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping

or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur

during operation, resulting in a machine that runs

slightly quieter and feels more solid.

If the machine will be installed in a commercial or

workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect-

ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes

may require that it be anchored to the floor.

If not required by any local codes, fastening the

machine to the floor is an optional step. If you

choose not to do this with your machine, we rec-

ommend placing it on machine mounts, as these

provide an easy method for leveling and they have

vibration-absorbing pads.

Anchoring to Floor

Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)

are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con-

crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the

floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move

the machine later, if needed. However, anytime

local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring

methodology specified by the code.
