17 RESIDUAL RISKS
The machine tool has been designed and manufactured to the highest standards,
but still, your attention is drawn to the following RESIDUAL RISKS existing
within the machine.
1. Always check that the cutting tool product you are using is approved to run
at the selected speed.
2. If non suitable cutting conditions are selected, coolant can splash, and swarf
can escape over the sides of the guard.
3. Failure of the Z-axis servo motor brake could allow the head to fall when the
power is OFF.
4. Do not operate the machine with the side door access panels removed.
5. Isolate the machine before cleaning the machine through the side door
access panels.
6. The guards enclosing the work zone (including the vision panels) are
designed to have sufficient impact resistance to protect the operator from
the ejection of tips from standard tools, or similar objects. It is important
for the operator to be aware that the guards cannot provide comprehensive
protection against all possible circumstances, including machine misuse. It
can be foreseen that the customer can load a cutter of larger diameter, or of
special design with a large tip. Should additional hazards be envisaged then
the customer must complete a risk assessment, and take all necessary
additional protective measures.
7. The machine tool is supplied with swarf removal systems such as an augers
or conveyors (as appropriate to the model). These devices must only be
used when located in their correct positions beneath the enclosure guard. If
these devices are removed for cleaning or maintenance, they must always
be isolated electrically; otherwise moving parts may be exposed, which
could cause serious injury.
