1.3 GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CLIMAX leads the way in promoting the safe use of portable machine tools and
valve testers. Safety is a joint effort. You, the end user, must do your part by being
aware of your work environment and closely following the operating procedures
and safety precautions contained in this manual, as well as your employer’s safety
guidelines.
Observe the following safety precautions when operating or working around the
machine.
Training – Before operating this or any machine tool, you should receive
instruction from a qualified trainer. Contact CLIMAX for machine-specific
training information.
Risk assessment – Working with and around this machine poses risks to
your safety. You, the end user, are responsible for conducting a risk assess-
ment of each job site before setting up and operating this machine.
Intended use – Use this machine in accordance with the instructions and
precautions in this manual. Do not use this machine for any purpose other
than its intended use as described in this manual.
Personal protective equipment – Always wear appropriate personal pro-
tective gear when operating this or any other machine tool. Flame-resistant
clothing with long sleeves and legs is recommended when operating the
machine. Hot chips from the workpiece may burn or cut bare skin.
Work area – Keep the work area around the machine clear of clutter. Restrain
cords and hoses connected to the machine. Keep other cords and hoses
away from the work area.
Lifting – Many CLIMAX machine components are very heavy. Whenever
possible, lift the machine or its components using proper hoisting equip-
ment and rigging. Always use designated lifting points on the machine.
Follow lifting instructions in the setup procedures of this manual.
Lock-out/tag-out – Lock-out and tag-out the machine before performing
maintenance.
Moving parts – CLIMAX machines have numerous exposed moving parts

P/N 16325, Rev. 10 Page 3
and interfaces that can cause severe impact, pinching, cutting, and other
injuries. Except for stationary operating controls, avoid contact with mov-
ing parts by hands or tools during machine operation. Remove gloves and
secure hair, clothing, jewelry, and pocket items to prevent them from
becoming entangled in moving parts.
Sharp edges – Cutting tools and workpieces have sharp edges that can eas-
ily cut skin. Wear protective gloves and exercise caution when handling a
cutting tool or workpiece.
Hot surfaces – During operation, motors, pumps, HPUs, and cutting tools
can generate enough heat to cause severe burns. Pay attention to hot sur-
face labels, and avoid contact with bare skin until the machine has cooled.
1.4 MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Eye hazard – This machine produces metal chips during operation. Always
wear eye protection when operating the machine.
Sound level – This machine produces potentially harmful sound levels.
Hearing protection is required when operating this machine or working
around it.
Hazardous environments – Do not operate the machine in environments
where potentially explosive materials, toxic chemicals, or radiation may be
present.
Machine mounting – Do not operate the machine unless mounted to a
workpiece in accordance with this manual. If mounting the machine in an
overhead or vertical position, do not remove hoist rigging until the machine
is mounted to the workpiece in accordance with this manual.

Page 4 KM3000 Operating Manual
1.5 RISK ASSESSMENT AND HAZARD MITIGATION
Machine Tools are specifically designed to perform precise material-removal oper-
ations.
Stationary Machine Tools include lathes and milling machines and are typically
found in a machine shop. They are mounted in a fixed location during operation
and are considered to be a complete, self-contained machine. Stationary Machine
Tools achieve the rigidity needed to accomplish material-removal operations from
the structure that is an integral part of the machine tool.
In contrast, Portable Machine Tools are designed for on-site machining applica-
tions. They typically attach directly to the workpiece itself, or to an adjacent struc-
ture, and achieve their rigidity from the structure to which it is attached. The
design intent is that the Portable Machine Tool and the structure to which it is
attached become one complete machine during the material-removal process.
To achieve the intended results and to promote safety, the operator must under-
stand and follow the design intent, set-up, and operation practices that are unique
to Portable Machine Tools.
The operator must perform an overall review and on-site risk assessment of the
intended application. Due to the unique nature of portable machining applications,
identifying one or more hazards that must be addressed is typical.
When performing the on-site risk assessment, it is important to consider the Porta-
ble Machine Tool and the workpiece as a whole.

P/N 16325, Rev. 10 Page 5
1.6 RISK ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST
The following checklist is not intended to be an all inclusive list of things to watch
out for when setting up and operating this Portable Machine Tool. However, these
checklists are typical of the types of risks the assembler and operator should con-
sider. Use these checklists as part of your risk assessment:
TABLE 1-1. RISK ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST BEFORE SET-UP
Before set-up
I took note of all the warning labels on the machine.
I removed or mitigated all identified risks (such as tripping, cutting, crushing, entan-
glement, shearing, or falling objects).
I considered the need for personnel safety guarding and installed any necessary
guards.
I read the machine assembly instructions (Section 3).
I created a lift plan, including identifying the proper rigging, for each of the setup
lifts required during the setup of the support structure and machine.
I located the fall paths involved in lifting and rigging operations. I have taken pre-
cautions to keep workers away from the identified fall path.
I considered how this machine operates and identified the best placement for the
controls, cabling, and the operator.
I evaluated and mitigated any other potential risks specific to my work area.
TABLE 1-2. RISK ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST AFTER SET-UP
After set-up

I checked that the machine is safely installed (according to Section 3) and the
potential fall path is clear. If the machine is installed at an elevated position, I
checked that the machine is safeguarded against falling.
I identified all possible pinch points, such as those caused by rotating parts, and
informed the affected personnel.
I planned for containment of any chips or swarf produced by the machine.
I followed the required maintenance checklist (Section 5.1) with the recommended
lubricants (Section 5.2).
I checked that all affected personnel have the recommended personal protective
equipment, as well as any site-required or regulatory equipment.
I checked that all affected personnel understand and are clear of the danger zone.
I evaluated and mitigated any other potential risks specific to my work area.

2.1 FEATURES AND COMPONENTS
The KM3000 portable key mill machine is a simple, rugged, dependable machine
tool designed to cut keyways in shafts without extensive dismantling. The auto-
matically centering V-base is quick and easy to set up. The KM3000 clamps on
any shaft up to 4.5" (114 mm) in diameter with the standard bar clamp. Cut stub-
end keyways or mid-shaft keyways. Clamp the machine to a flat surface and you
can cut motor mount slots. With the optional shim kit, you can cut keyways or slots
in shafts as small as 0.75" (19 mm) in diameter.
The KM3000 key mill machine consists of the following:
• Slide assembly
• Leadscrew for traverse feed
• Gearbox (standard or hydraulic)
• Spindle and quill
