Never allow swarf to accumulate on or within the
machine.
Never use flammable liquids (like alcohol, diesel fuel, or
kerosene) in the machine’s coolant system.
Never use water, coolants without rust inhibitors, or
straight cutting oil in the machine’s coolant system.
Tooling
Use appropriate speeds, feeds, and cutting parameters for
your machine, machine operation, material, and tooling.
Use tools and tool holders that are suitable for the current
operation.
Examine tools for signs of damage. Replace any damaged
tools as soon as you find them.
The enclosure and other guards may not stop all types of
projectiles, like broken tooling.
Never use unbalanced tooling or spindle fixtures.
Never use tools that are larger or longer than necessary.
Never use tools at speeds above their operational limits.
Workholding
Secure workpieces with appropriate workholding devices
(like a milling vise or strap clamps).
Verify that the workpiece is adequately secured.
Position clamps and workholding devices clear of any tool
paths.
Remove cutoff workpieces and other large chips before
starting the machine.
Never leave tools, stock, or other loose items inside the
machine.
1.4.3 Electrical Safety
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard: You must power
off the machine before making any electrical
connections. If you don't, there's a risk of
electrocution or shock.
Power off the machine before servicing.
Use an approved lockout/tagout system to secure the
machine's Main Disconnect in the OFF position before
servicing the machine.
Understand that certain electrical components can retain
dangerous electrical voltages, even after the machine is
powered off and all power is removed from the system.
Understand that certain installation, maintenance, and
troubleshooting procedures — for the machine and certain
accessories — require access to or modification of wiring
inside of the electrical cabinet. Only qualified electrical
machinery technicians shall perform these procedures.
Confirm that the mains voltage conforms to requirements
before connecting the machine.
For more information, see "Electrical and Power
Requirements" (page35).
Confirm that the machine installation meets all codes and
regulations of your locality.
Confirm that electrical connections are performed by a
certified electrician.
Lock the electrical cabinet door and remove the keys when
the machine is not being serviced to prevent unqualified or
unauthorized personnel from accessing the electrical
cabinet.
Never operate the machine with the electrical cabinet
door open.
Never reach into the electrical cabinet with the machine
powered on.
Never modify the machine's electronics.
Never drill into the electrical cabinet.
1.5 NOISE EXPOSURE
CAUTION! Noise Exposure Hazard: If you expect the
machine or the machining processes to exceed safe
exposure limits, you must wear ear protection.
With the axes moving and the spindle rotating (but not
cutting), the emission sound pressure level at the operator
control station is 70 dB(A).
Emission sound pressure levels vary depending on the
machining processes. Factors that influence the actual level of
noise exposure may include:
l Characteristics of the work room
l Other sources of noise (like the number of machines, or
other adjacent processes)
