-10- FOR SAFE OPERATION
SO-NL-B17E/O
1-2
Before Operating the Machine
The cautions that you must be aware of before operating the machine are listed below.
WARNING
1.
Never stand in front of the spindle or other rotating parts. Never
stand in front of the chuck, since the workpiece, cutting tools, or
chuck jaws might fly out, particularly during test cutting, causing
accidents involving serious injuries.
2.
Specify a spindle speed limit that is lower than the lowest of the
individual allowable speed limits for the chuck, fixture, and cylinder.
If you do not follow this instruction, the workpiece could fly out of
the machine, causing serious injuries or damage to the machine.
3.
Clamp workpieces and cutting tools securely. Determine the depth
of cut and cutting feedrate for test cutting with safe operation as the
first priority; do not give priority to productivity when making these
determinations. If you fail to observe this warning, the tool or
workpiece could fly out of the machine, causing serious injuries or
damage to the machine.
4.
Before starting spindle rotation, check that the workpiece is securely
clamped. Or, if performing center-work, check that the tailstock
spindle center securely supports the workpiece. (Applies only to
machines equipped with a tailstock.)
If the workpiece is not securely clamped or supported, it will fly out
when the spindle is rotated, causing serious injuries or damage to
the machine.
5.
Before starting the spindle in manual operation, set the spindle
speed setting switch to the lowest setting. After starting the spindle,
increase the spindle speed to the required speed gradually.
When stopping the spindle, first lower the spindle speed by setting
the spindle speed setting switch to the low speed position and then
stop it.
If the spindle is started at the high speed setting, the workpiece and
chuck jaws could fly out, causing serious injuries or damage to the
machine.
6.
Do not start the spindle unless the machine's left side cover and
cylinder cover are removed. If you fail to observe this warning you
could be seriously injured by being entangled in the rotating parts of
the machine.
7.
Never attempt to reach inside the chip conveyor or put your feet in it
while it is operating. You could be caught in the chip conveyor and
seriously injured. (Applies only to machines equipped with a chip
conveyor.)
