Operation Safety:
•
Do not operate the machine unless the doors are closed and the door interlocks are
functioning correctly.
• Check for damaged parts and tools before you operate the machine. Any part or tool
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by authorized personnel. Do
not operate the machine if any component does not appear to be functioning
correctly.
• Rotating cutting tools can cause severe injury. When a program runs, the mill table
and spindle head can move rapidly at any time.
• Improperly clamped parts machined at high speeds/feeds may be ejected and
puncture the enclosure. It is not safe to machine oversized or marginally clamped
parts.
Release of person trapped in the machine:
•
No person should ever be located inside the machine during operation.
• In the unlikely event that a person is trapped inside the machine the emergency stop
button should be immediately be depressed and the person removed.
• If the person is pinched or entangled the machine should be powered off; then the
machine axes can be moved by use of a large external force in the direction required
to free the person.
Recover from a jam or blockage:
•
Of the chip conveyor - Follow the cleaning instructions on the Work on Your Haas (go
to www.haascnc.com click on the OWNERS link). If necessary, close the doors and
reverse the conveyor so the jammed part or material is accessible, and remove. Use
lifting equipment or get assistance for lifting heavy and awkward parts.
• Of a tool and material/part - Close the doors, press [RESET] to clear and displayed
alarms. Jog the axis so the tool and material are clear.
• Of the Automatic Tool Changer/tool and spindle - Press [RECOVER] and follow the
on-screen instructions.
• If the alarms do not reset or you are unable to clear a blockage, contact your Haas
Factory Outlet (HFO) for assistance.
Follow these guidelines when you work with the machine:
•
Normal operation - Keep the door closed and guards in place (for non-enclosed
machines) while the machine operates.
• Part loading and unloading – An operator opens the door, completes the task, closes
the door, and then presses [CYCLE START] (starting automatic motion).
• Machining job set-up – When set-up is complete, turn the set-up key to lock out
set-mode and remove the key.
• Maintenance / Machine Cleaner– Press [EMERGENCY STOP] or [POWER OFF] on
the machine before you enter the enclosure.
