Important Safety Instructions
The Shapeoko HDM is a machine tool and requires the same caution that should be exercised with any power
tool. Please keep this manual in a safe place for reference.
WARNING:
To reduce risk of burns, fire, electric shock, injury, and death, or damage to equipment or
property, read the following warnings carefully.
Eye Protection
Always wear safety glasses or goggles which are suitably impact-resistant.
Hearing Protection
Always wear earplugs or ear muffs. For long jobs, it may be desirable to wear both. Hearing damage is
cumulative and irreversible, so one should always err on the side of caution.
Respiratory Protection
Always wear a filter or respiratory mask suitable for the type of dust generated by the material being cut. If
necessary, arrange for dust collection and proper ventilation.
Clothing, Hair, and Jewelry
Always ensure that clothing, hair, and jewelry cannot become caught in the machine. Always wear appropriate
clothing; long-sleeved shirts, pants, and suitable footwear are recommended. When metal-working, gloves and
an apron are also recommended.
Machine Safety
Never reach into the machine’s working envelope while it is running.
Always engage the spindle lock-out before
performing toolchanges. Always disable power to the machine and turn on the spindle lock-out (disable the
spindle) before adjusting the machine or performing maintenance. Never leave the machine running
unattended. Never move the machine during operation. Always inform someone before operating the machine
and check in with them after successfully completing work. Never allow children to use the machine
unsupervised.
Operating the Chiller
The chiller must be turned on when operating the spindle. Operating the spindle without the chiller could cause
fire and/or catastrophic damage to the spindle, VFD, or machine. Always leave the chiller on for an additional
5
–
10 minutes after turning off the spindle to allow the it to completely cool. Never run the chiller when the
coolant tank is empty. Ensure there is plenty of clear space on all sides of the chiller to allow for adequate air
circulation.
