FOR SAFE OPERATION -7-
SO-NL-B17E/O
WARNING
14.
Before operating the machine, memorize the locations of the
EMERGENCY STOP buttons so that you can press one immediately
from any location and at any time while operating the machine. The
EMERGENCY STOP buttons are used to stop all operations in the
event of an emergency. If there is an obstacle in front of an
EMERGENCY STOP button it will not be possible to press it
immediately when an emergency occurs and this could cause
accidents involving serious injuries or damage to the machine.
15.
Always switch the tailstock spindle interlock function ON before
carrying out center-work operations. If this function is OFF, it will be
possible to start automatic operation when the tailstock spindle is
extended, even though it may not support the workpiece correctly. If
automatic operation is started in this condition, the workpiece will fly
out, causing serious injuries or damage to the machine. (Applies
only to machines equipped with a tailstock.)
16.
Adjust the position of the tailstock body so that the workpiece is
securely held by the tailstock spindle center when the tailstock
spindle is extended.
After making this adjustment, clamp the tailstock body to the bed. If
the tailstock body is not clamped to the bed, or if the position of the
tailstock body is incorrectly adjusted, it will be possible to start
automatic operation when the tailstock spindle is extended, even if
the workpiece is not supported by the tailstock spindle center. If
machining is carried out while the workpiece is not supported by the
tailstock spindle center, the workpiece will fly out, causing serious
injuries or damage to the machine. (Applies only to machines
equipped with a tailstock.)
17.
To prevent hazardous situations, the plant or equipment supervisor
must bar entry to the plant or the vicinity of the machine to anyone
with insufficient safety training. Allowing persons without sufficient
safety training unhindered into the plant and the vicinity of the
machine could cause accidents involving serious injuries.
18.
Because of the inertia of the moving parts of the machine, they may
not be stopped immediately when the EMERGENCY STOP button is
pressed. Always confirm that all operations have stopped before
going near these parts. If you approach the moving parts of the
machine without due care you may be entangled in them and
seriously injured.
