2.8 HIGH-PRESSURE GAS
Do not allow any dangerous or high-pressure gas to get into the
oscillator housing. The oscillator cabinet has a hermetic structure
(dustproof and drip-proof), it cannot be ventilated easily.
Flammable gases such as oxygen can cause a fire or explosion.
Toxic gases can harm operators during maintenance. Organic gases
can degrade machining performance. High-pressure gases can damage
a panel or the cabinet, resulting in injury from flying matters.
If such a gas accidentally gets into the oscillator housing, remove a
panel for ventilation. The installation room must be also well
ventilated.
To purge the oscillator housing, use purified low-pressure air or
nitrogen.
