-====== Safe Operation Details ======
+====== Safe Operation ======
+======= Startup ==========
+  * With the power disconnected, clear all non essential material from the CNC working area.
+  * Connect power.
+  * Open the front door of the CNC cabinet to access the keyboard, mouse, axis power and PC power.
+  * Make sure axis power is set to off.
+  * Turn on the PC.
+  * login: ''vhs''
+  * password: ''vhs''
+  * Start LinxCNC
+  * Make sure the big red Emergency stop button is off (pulled out).
+  * Enable the axis power.
+  * verify that there are no loose wires and the machine appears to be in good working order
+  * handle any warning messages that LinuxCNC reports.
+  * Proceed with prep and cut.
+TODO: FINISH THIS
+======= Shut down ==========
+  * Quit LinuxCNC
+  * Disable axis power
+  * Logout of linux with the "shutdown" option
+  * Wait for all systems to turn off
+  * Disconnect CNC
+  * Stow keyboard, mouse, and extension cord in CNC
+  * Remove your tool(s) from the chuck.
+  * Clean up the cutting leftovers.  The next user thanks you!

   - We have collets for 3mm, 4mm, 6mm and 1/8”, 3/16”, 1/4" shank end mills.
   - We have a [[http://www.atlas-machinery.com/step-block-hold-down-set/|step block hold down set]], a [[http://www.atlas-machinery.com/milling-vise/|milling vice]] and a set of extra [[http://www.atlas-machinery.com/t-nuts-10-32-10pc-set/|T-nuts]] to clamp your work.
   - The upper e-stop button should work, but verify that it stops the mill before you begin any real operation.
