What supply does your control box require? Either way you should see shorts as a high current draw at low voltages.
One problem I have noticed in the US is the lack of switches on power outlets, so in a lot of situations you guys are "hot patching" whenever you plug in. If there is no power isolation switch on the box (which I am guessing there is) you should wire up an in-line switch. In fact, it never hurts to have one with a braker just for testing.
A mill or a lathe may take a finger but power will take everything given half a chance.
