Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine.
This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup
or contact with live electrical components.

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend­ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

Model G0795 (Mfd. Since 02/15)

Additional Safety for Mill/Drills

The primary risks of operating a mill are as follows: You can be seriously injured or killed by
getting clothing, jewelry, or long hair entangled with rotating cutter. You can be severely cut
or have fingers amputated from contact with the rotating cutter. You can be blinded or struck
by broken cutting tools, metal chips, workpieces, or adjustment tools thrown from the rotating
spindle with great force. To reduce your risk of serious injury when operating this machine,
completely heed and understand the following:

UNDERSTAND ALL CONTROLS. Make sure you

understand the function and proper use of all con­trols before starting. This will help you avoid mak­ing mistakes that result in serious injury.

WEAR FACE SHIELD. Always wear a face shield
in addition to safety glasses. This provides more
complete protection for your face than safety
glasses alone.

REMOVE CHUCK KEY & SPINDLE TOOLS.
Always remove chuck key, drawbar wrench, and
other tools used on the spindle immediately after
use. This will prevent them from being thrown by
the spindle upon startup.

PROPERLY SECURE CUTTER. Firmly secure
cutting tool or drill bit so it does not fly out of spin­dle during operation.

USE CORRECT SPINDLE SPEED. Follow rec­ommended speeds and feeds for each size and
type of cutting tool. This helps avoid tool breakage
during operation and ensures best cutting results.

INSPECT CUTTING TOOL. Inspect cutting tools
for sharpness, chips, or cracks before each use.
Replace dull, chipped, or cracked cutting tools
immediately.

ALLOW SPINDLE TO STOP. To minimize your
risk of entanglement, always allow spindle to stop
on its own. DO NOT stop spindle using your hand
or any other object.

PROPERLY SECURE WORKPIECE. Clamp
workpiece to table or secure in a vise mounted to
table, so workpiece cannot unexpectedly shift or
spin during operation. NEVER hold workpiece by
hand during operation.

CLEAN MACHINE SAFELY. Metal chips or shav­ings can be razor sharp. DO NOT clear chips
by hand or compressed air that can force chips
farther into machine—use a brush or vacuum
instead. Never clear chips while spindle is turning.

PROPERLY MAINTAIN MACHINE. Keep machine
in proper working condition to help ensure that it
functions safely and all guards and other compo­nents work as intended. Perform routine inspec­tions and all necessary maintenance. Never oper­ate machine with damaged or worn parts that can
break or result in unexpected movement during
operation.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. To reduce risk of
electrocution or injury from unexpected startup,
make sure mill/drill is turned OFF, disconnected
from power, and all moving parts have come to
a complete stop before changing cutting tools or
starting any inspection, adjustment, or mainte­nance procedure.

POWER DISRUPTION. In the event of a local
power outage during operation, turn spindle switch
OFF to avoid a possible sudden startup once
power is restored.

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 possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are over­looked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability 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 electrician 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

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.

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 over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the requirements in the following section.

This machine is prewired to operate on a 220V
power supply circuit that has a verified ground and
meets the following requirements:

For your own safety and protection of

Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man­ual 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 mul­tiple 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 sup­ply 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.)

Grounding Instructions

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.

We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
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 require­ments:

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 nec­essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel 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, discon­nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

Serious injury could occur if you connect

process. DO NOT connect to power until

The power cord and plug specified under “Circuit
Requirements for 220V”
has an equipment-grounding wire and a ground­ing prong. The plug must only be inserted into
a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances (see figure below).

No adapter should be used with the
required plug. If the plug does not fit the
available receptacle, or the machine must

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 preven­tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac­turer’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:

Site Considerations

Weight Load

Physical Environment

Place this machine near an existing power source.

Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract

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 work­piece 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 main­tenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.

The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and lon­gevity of machine components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi­cals, 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

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.

or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Lifting & Placing

Another option is a "Direct Mount" (see example
below) where the machine is secured directly to
the workbench with lag screws and washers.

The base of this machine has mounting holes
that allow it to be fastened to a workbench or
other mounting surface to prevent it from moving
during operation and causing accidental injury or
damage.

The strongest mounting option is a "Through
Mount" (see example below) where holes are
drilled all the way through the workbench—and
hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to
secure the machine in place.

Bench Mounting

HEAVY LIFT!
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting machine or some of
its parts. To reduce this
risk, get help from other
people and use a forklift
(or other lifting equipment)
rated for weight of this
machine.

To lift and place machine into position:

1. Move shipping crate next to workbench or

stand, then unbolt machine from pallet.

2. Move machine work table as close to column
as possible, and raise headstock to its high­est position. This will help balance machine
when moving.

Assembly

An arbor is included for the drill chuck that
comes with this machine. The following procedure
describes how to install the arbor in the chuck.

After the arbor is installed in the drill chuck, it
is very difficult to separate the assembly. If you
would like to use a different chuck in the future,
we recommend obtaining a new arbor.

Important: DO NOT install the drill chuck and
arbor assembly into the spindle until AFTER the
test run.

To join drill chuck and arbor:

1.

clean drill
