Furthermore, check before each use of your machine if it is supplied with current and if required if the compressed
air is working perfectly.
NOTICE: Don´t connect the machine to the computer if you don´t intend to use the machine.
CAUTION: Always ensure all clamping accessories for insertion tool, machine guided tool and work piece are
secure before use.
2.6 OPERATOR
The person operating the machine should be not less than 14 years old and technically experienced.
All persons operating the machine must have completely read and understood all relevant operating instructions.
Each operator must get familiar with the electronic control of the machine as well as with the used control
software before the first use of the machine.
WARNING: Each operator must have personal protective equipment.
Each operator must operate the machine and its components with due prudence and due expertise which is
necessary for the use of CNC controlled milling machines.
2.7 EMERGENCY-STOP SWITCH
The emergency-stop switch is located at the front side of the machine (refer to the schematics under item 3.1 of
these operating instructions).
The Emergency-Stop is released by pressing the switch. In this way the power supply of the control is interrupted.
Furthermore, the control software receives the signal to stop the working process. The machine stops
immediately.
WARNING: The emergency-stop switch can only affect the standstill of all components if they are
connected. This is ensured if you use the milling spindles and the controller made by STEPCRAFT.
CAUTION: If you use any third party products such as e.g. another controller you are responsible yourself to
connect the Emergency-Stop switch professionally with your controller. Otherwise there is a risk for persons and
material damages! Also if you would like to use a system-guided tool like a milling spindle of another supplier
which is equipped with a separate ON/OFF switch and is NOT controlled via the PC you have to make sure that it
is professionally connected to the emergency-stop switch.
WARNING: If you do not observe this it will continue running even if you actuate the emergency-stop
switch. Also here there is a risk for persons or material damages!
Please do not hesitate to contact us for any further questions!
Please find further information regarding the Emergency-Stop switch under item 5.4 of these instructions.
2.8 REMAINING RISK
CAUTION: In spite of all preventive measures there is always a remaining risk for persons and material.
Therefore, operate the machine and its components circumspectly and carefully!
Make sure that you are working concentrated and that you are not tired.
Do not operate the machine and its components if you are under the influence of medication, alcohol or drugs.
