General Safety And Machine Specifications
This manual and the safety guidelines contained within it are designed to enable the user to
obtain the best performance from the machine over a long lifetime and to ensure the safety
of the operator. Each person who will operate the equipment, perform a service or
maintenance, or supervise its use must read the safety instructions in this manual. Please
read it carefully before using or working on the machine.
The machine is a 3-axis router designed to cut and shape a variety of materials using either
vacuum or manual clamping. The correct method of using these mechanisms is covered
elsewhere in the users manual.
Ensure that you have read and understood the operational and health and safety sections of
the manual before beginning to use the machine.
The machine has been designed and constructed to prevent the build-up of electrostatic
charges during operation.
The machine is not intended for use in an explosive environment.
ALWAYS CONSULT SEPARATE MANUALS FOR ANCILLARY
DEVICES SUCH AS MIST SPRAYER ATTACHMENTS, OSCILLATING
TANGENTIAL KNIFE HEADS AND GANG DRILL HEADS FOR SAFE
OPERATION.
Placement of the Machine and machine attachments
The machine must be placed with consideration given to the following;
• The actual floor space required by the machine and associated accessories and
attachments.
• Adequate free air flow around vacuum pumps to reduce the risk of overheating.
• How you intend to move material to and from the cutting surface.
• OH&S requirements in relation to safe work practices. Refer to AS4024 & AS1473 for
specific details in regards to placement of machinery. We recommend a minimum of
1meter of space around the machine. The amount of space left behind a machine,
especially when placed in close proximity to a wall, must be sufficient so that workers,
and our technicians can have safe and unobstructed access to allow for service and
maintenance.
