CHECKS BEFORE STARTING MASS PRODUCTION
This section lists the minimum items which must be checked before starting mass production.
Always check these items in addition to the working environment before starting automatic
operation.
WARNING
Before pressing the
(START) switch to start automatic operation,
make sure that the dry run function is invalid (OFF) and that all other
switches, such as the spindle override switch, the rapid override switch,
and the feedrate override switch are set to the proper position. If
automatic operation is started with the dry run function valid (ON) or any
of the override switches set incorrectly, the axes could be fed in an
unexpected manner and the spindle could be rotated at an unexpected
speed, leading to accidents involving serious injuries or damage to the
machine.
