Persons Trapped in Machine
Closing the enclosure door with control power Off locks the door; therefore, it is possible
for a person to be locked inside the enclosure.
If all safety circuits are intact, it is not possible to run an automatic operation while a
person is in direct contact with any axis, spindle, the tool changer, chip conveyor or chip
auger.

functionally sound (i.e., the machine functions as intended), follow these steps:

4. Press the Start button. The enclosure doors will automatically unlock.
