Maintenance should not be performed on a machine under power. For even the most
routine day-to-day maintenance, such as cleaning the table or removing chips from the
machining enclosure, the machine should be put in an emergency stop condition, de-
energizing the axis servo motors and spindle motor.
Following these precautions prevents someone from becoming trapped or entangled in
the machine.
If a person should become trapped in the machine, the safest procedure is to put the
machine in emergency stop by pressing the red EMERGENCY STOP button, then
powering the machine down using the main disconnect switch on the door of the
electrical cabinet at the rear of the machine.
When the machine is put into emergency stop mode, the servo motors and the spindle
motor are de-energized. If the machine has a horizontal tool change platter and the
platter is under the spindle, emergency stop causes the platter to withdraw from
underneath the spindle.
When there is no power to the machine, the ballscrew for the Z axis may be moved by
hand. The X axis remains locked to prevent the cross slide from falling.
Machine Safety Labels
Please read and understand all of the safety and warning labels on the machine prior to
using the equipment. Failure to observe these labels can result in injury or death.
