What are the safe working practices and procedures that need to be followed when preparing and using milling machines?

When preparing and using milling machines, it's essential to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses and gloves, to protect against flying debris. Ensure that the machine is properly maintained, with all safety guards in place and operational. Before starting, confirm that the workpiece is securely clamped and that all tools are correctly set up. Always remain attentive to the machine's operation, avoid distractions, and follow proper shutdown procedures after use.
