Owner’s Responsibilities
The AB6 owner has several responsibilities regarding safety. First, read
this section of the manual and implement the safety requirements
described. Then be certain that the operators in the shop are properly
trained by Hurco and are using the AB6 as it was intended to be used.
If the Hurco trained operator leaves the shop, the owner is responsible for
providing training for the new operator assigned to run the AB6. Call the
nearest Hurco facility for information about on-site training or other
special training opportunities.
Establish proper procedures to prevent fires and provide approved fire
extinguishers to put out small fires. Of course, large fires must be
extinguished by professional fire fighters. As a safety precaution, many
shops have regular fire drills so that all employees know their
responsibilities during an emergency situation.
Machine Modification
The AB6 was designed to meet a wide range of customer needs. If the
owner feels that the AB6 needs to be modified in any way to meet the
special needs of the shop, Hurco recommends that the owner call Hurco
Technical Support or an authorized Hurco distributor for modification
assistance and a written authorization to proceed. Contact the press brake
manufacturer for information about press brake modification.
If the owner modifies the AB6 in any way without Hurco’s assistance and
a written authorization, the warranty becomes invalid. In addition, such
unauthorized modifications may cause safety hazards that may injure the
operator and damage the AB6. The owner is fully responsible for any
accidents resulting from unauthorized modifications.
