2 Safety
All lathes bring a risk by rotating parts, pulleys, belts high voltages and sound. To avoid personally and
mechanical injuries it is imperative the safety standards will be complied.
1. Before operating the machine the operation manuals of the teach-in lathe and the 'Style Lathe' and 'CNC
Edit' should be read and understood.
2. Never operate this machine without understanding the function of the keyboard and control buttons. Ask
a qualified person for help if needed.
3. Never leave the machine unattended or have unqualified personal operating or service the machine.
4. Never operate the machine if the machine is not fully closed and the safety switches are not enabled.
5. Make sure the electrical cabinet is closed and locked with both locks.
6. Never leave a working machine unattended.
7. Never lean on the machine whilst it is in use.
8. Before operating the machine make sure everybody near the machine is notified.
9. There should be enough light on the work piece and machine.
10. The emergency button is the red button on the control panel. If the emergency button will be used the
machine, servo motors, tool changer and coolant pump will stop directly. Use the emergency button only
in case of emergency to avoid damage to the machine.
11. Never try to stop moving parts by hand.
12. Never use fingers to align parts or holes.
13. Remove all service tools from the machine before starting the machine.
14. Protect your ears during operating the machine. Using ANSI approved protection is recommended to
avoid hearing impairment.
15. Always protect your eyes and ware approved safety glasses with protective side shields during operating
the machine.
16. Always stop the machine completely before removing chips or finished work pieces.
17. Never use compressed air to remove chips, oil or coolant.
18. Wear appropriate non-slip and steel toe footwear.
19. Prevent slipping. Keep the area free of oil and any objects. Remove chips, oil, coolant and other objects
around the machine.
20. During normal use it is almost impossible to get jammed or grabbed by moving parts, but always be
aware of danger. Before operating the machine never wear rings, wrist watches, jewelry, torn or loose
clothing such as: ties, scarves, unbuttoned jackets or any garment as they could become caught in
moving parts.
21. Make sure your hair can not reach moving parts. Wear a hair-net when needed.
22. Remove gloves before starting the machine. Gloves become caught easily in moving parts Never
operate the machine after using alcohol, medicine (refer to package) or drugs.
23. Protect your hands. Make sure the machine has come to a complete stop and the control is in stop mode
before:
a. The tool is changed.
b. Parts are removed.
c. Chips, oil or coolant is removed. Use a scraper or brush.
d. A part of the chuck is adjusted, filling coolant or measurements are carried out.
e. Before opening the door or the chuck guard. Never try to reach a part when the machine is
running.
24. Use proper tools for the lathe operations.
25. The user is responsible for entering correct parameters for cutting speed, cutting depth, spindle speed,
etc.
26. Avoid the risk of damaging the work piece and tools by not starting the spindle while the tool is touching
the work piece.
27. Never use worn or damaged tools or cutting bits. Inspect the cutting side of the tool for sharpness and
check the tool fitting in the tool holder.
28. Keep the overhang of the tool as small as possible. If the overhang is too large, it will give bigger risk for
injury and damaging to the machine.
29. Prevent risk of fire. Keep flammable materials and fluids away from the machine and hot chips. When
machining some materials (magnesium etc.) the chips are highly flammable. Ask supervising personal
for instructions before cutting these materials.
30. Keep open fire away from the machine.
31. Do not use toxic or flammable materials. This can release highly toxic substances. Consult the
manufacturer of the material for instructions on using these materials to be processed.
