Important safety rules for operating your MillRight CNC Mega V XXL: 

Never place your hands near a spinning end mill or bit.  
Always wear eye and ear protection while operating your machine. 
Always run a dust collector or wear a mask while performing a milling operation. 
Do not leave the machine unattended while running a milling operation. 
Do not operate your machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. 
Secure long hair and loose clothing so it is not caught in spinning mechanisms. 
Ensure work pieces are properly secured before running a milling operation. 
Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. 
Visually inspect wires prior to power up to prevent short circuits. 
 

The Mega V XXL is a big, heavy machine. Plan on spending a full weekend in assembly and seeking help with moving or 
flipping heavy assemblies.  

We recommend using a blue thread locker on any fastener not secured with a lock washer or lock nut.
