SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
7. Setup
• Make sure that setup is complete.
• If the setup is changed, operate the machine step-by-step to make sure that cutting can be per-
formed without any problems.
• Before changing the chuck and/or chuck jaws, make sure that the chuck fits the intended job.
• If two or more workers must work together, establish signals so that they can communicate (for
example, when lifting or setting heavy objects). Each worker should be aware when a new pro-
cess is about to begin.
• Use the crane or equivalent tool to handle heavy objects.
• When attempting an unfamiliar setup, recheck the setup before beginning operation.
• Remove unnecessary toolholders from the turret.
• Ensure that the bolts for fixing the toolholders to the turret are securely tightened.
• Remove the bolts which are not used for fixing the toolholders.
8. Workpiece Loading and Unloading
• Make sure that workpieces are loaded and unloaded securely.
• Before loading or unloading a workpiece, retract the turret so that the cutting tools in the turret
cannot injure the operator.
• Before loading and unloading a workpiece, make sure that the spindle has come to a complete
stop.
• Before running a new program, rotate the spindle to make sure that the workpiece is securely
clamped in the chuck.
• Before machining an irregularly-shaped workpiece, make sure that it is balanced properly.
• When handling heavy workpieces, use the a crane, hoist, or other similar tool.
• Before loading a workpiece, make sure that the workpiece has a portion that can be used for
proper chucking.
9. At the End of the Day
• Clean the machine.
• Move the turret to the predetermined retraction position.
• Make sure all power switches are turned off.
• Turn off the CONTROL, before turning off the main power disconnect switch.
