*** Bits are razor sharp so be careful handling or installing them. Most of the injuries I see are when the machine is off. #1 is bumping you hand into the bit in the spindle when setting up your work.

*** Pinch Points all over the place that can crush fingers.
* What Can Go Wrong
* What Can Go Wrong
** Piece of material stuck on bit. If a piece of material breaks loose and gets caught on the bit turn off the machine and get away. The bit could snap and the material plus sharp bit could fly off.

** Turning on Spindle
** Turning on Spindle - It now works via Mach3 control!
** End Stops - I don't know how reliable they are. I don't suggest using them.
** E-Stop (kills power to drivers and spindle, but Mach3 does not know)

** Resetting
** Ignore start up error
** Jogging - Slow ans Fast
** Resetting. It starts in e-stop (reset) mode. Click reset to clear that
** Zeroing
** Jogging - Slow and Fast Arrow for X,Y and pgup/pgdown for Z. Shift for fast jog.

** Feedrate offset
** Feedrate offset. This can be used to slow down a job. Use might want to start below 100% to verify the machine can handle the feedrate you chose.

** Make sure spindle is on.
** Make sure spindle is on. Mach3 will turn it on, but it is best to do it manually (via Mach 3 button) to verify the speed.
