WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES RELATED TO
CHECK OPERATION
WARNING
1. When checking the operation of the machine with the cover removed
(1) The user’s clothing could become caught in the spindle or other components, thus
presenting a danger of injury. When checking the operation, stand away from the machine
to ensure that your clothing does not become tangled in the spindle or other components.
(2) When checking the operation, perform idle operation without workpiece. When a
workpiece is mounted in the machine, a malfunction could cause the workpiece to be
dropped or destroy the tool tip, possibly scattering fragments throughout the area. This
presents a serious danger of injury. Therefore, stand in a safe location when checking the
operation.
2. When checking the machine operation with the power magnetics cabinet door opened
(1) The power magnetics cabinet has a high–voltage section (carrying a
mark). Never
touch the high–voltage section. The high–voltage section presents a severe risk of electric
shock. Before starting any check of the operation, confirm that the cover is mounted on
the high–voltage section. When the high–voltage section itself must be checked, note that
touching a terminal presents a severe danger of electric shock.
(2) Within the power magnetics cabinet, internal units present potentially injurious corners and
projections. Be careful when working inside the power magnetics cabinet.
3. Never attempt to machine a workpiece without first checking the operation of the machine.
Before starting a production run, ensure that the machine is operating correctly by performing
a trial run using, for example, the single block, feedrate override, or machine lock function or
by operating the machine with neither a tool nor workpiece mounted. Failure to confirm the
correct operation of the machine may result in the machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly
causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.
4. Before operating the machine, thoroughly check the entered data.
Operating the machine with incorrectly specified data may result in the machine behaving
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the
user.
5. Ensure that the specified feedrate is appropriate for the intended operation. Generally, for each
machine, there is a maximum allowable feedrate. The appropriate feedrate varies with the
intended operation. Refer to the manual provided with the machine to determine the maximum
allowable feedrate. If a machine is run at other than the correct speed, it may behave
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the
user.
6. When using a tool compensation function, thoroughly check the direction and amount of
compensation. Operating the machine with incorrectly specified data may result in the machine
behaving unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or
injury to the user.
