Mechanical maintenance procedures for Makino machining centers
should be performed by properly trained and technically qualified person-
nel. They should adhere to these specific practices when working with the
machining center:

cover, barrier, or any basic component of the machining center. See
section 1.2.4
.
• Block vertical sliding members before disassembling any portion of
their drive train.
• Be familiar with and adhere to safe lifting practices described in
section

before lifting the machine or components.
• Never return the machining center to production until all safety guards,
covers, barriers, or other safety devices are reinstalled and confirmed
operational.
Mechanical Maintenance Equipment
Mechanical maintenance personnel should:
• Keep all hand tools in good repair.
• Use each hand tool in a manner for which it is intended.
• Never use any hand tool that is defective, broken, or worn out.
• Keep alert with regard to nearby hazards.
