PRECAUTIONS ON MANUAL OPERATION AND SETUP
The machine should normally be operated by one, well trained person only.
In cases where more than one operator is essential, the operators must co-
operate carefully, communicate as much as possible. If one operator presses
buttons on the operation panel or feeds machine axes while another is
replacing a workpiece, a fixture, or tool etc, that operator, or some one
standing close-by, could be entangled in the machine and seriously injured.
Make sure that the cutting tool and workpieces are all tightened securely. They
should be mounted and well balanced so that the cutting tool will not interfere
with the workpiece or the machine.
Make sure that the tools mounted in the magazine are well balanced.
When loosening the bolts on jigs, be sure to loosen them gradually.
Keep your footing stable when loosening bolts.
Do not tighten bolts excessively.
When using a manually tightened fixture, always remove the clamp handle or
tightening tool from the fixture after tightening.
Never touch a switch, button, or key with wet hands.
Before using a switch, button, or key, check visually that it is the one you
intend to use, and then press or set decisively.
