3.KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them handle machines, tools, or equipment.
4.STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. When not in use, tools must be locked up in a dry location to inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.

8.USE EYE, EAR and breathing PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles if you are producing metal filings or wood chips. Wear an
ANSI approved dust mask or respirator when working around metal, wood, and chemical dusts and mists. Use ANSI approved ear protection when working in a loud or noisy environment.
9.DO NOT ABUSE THE POWER CORD. Protect the power cord from damage, either from impacts, pulling or corrosive materials. Do not yank machine’s cord to disconnect it from the receptacle.
10.DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or across running machines.
11.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, any broken parts or mounting fixtures, and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the tool if any switch does not turn on and off properly.

Special Warnings when using this Vertical Mill
Using this Vertical Mill may create special hazards.
Take particular care to safeguard yourself and those around you.
1.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 220 Volts at 60 Hz. We recommend you use a circuit which is protected by an appropriate circuit breaker.
2.Ejected Material. Use safe practices to avoid injury from ejected material. Because the 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 the Vertical
Mill while in operation.
3.Entanglement. Use extreme caution to prevent loose materials from being caught in the machine. Never operate this mill with loose clothing, long hair, jewelry, or other items which may become caught in the tools 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.
