Hi aRM,
Have a read of this, you can also print it and read it in bed

It gives the basic concepts of vertical milling mainly for bench and smaller machines, smaller than the one you have and only for HSS and carbide end mills and slot mills. However the basic principles still apply to your machine. Just remember it does not cover insert milling cutters, nor does it apply to the use thereof.
