Safety
Do not, ever, use an ordinary Jacobs-type drill chuck to hold milling tools. Collet chucks are a much more secure and safe way of holding such tools (a drill-chuck is fine when the operating force is along the axis, but will loosen dangerously if sideways forces are applied).
Drawbars
Please follow the correct install procedure for the draw bars (TODO: dig up good docs / video of this process)
Also not there are two different size bars for different collets, check the drawbar against the collect before installing.
