FOR SAFE OPERATION
This machine is intended for use by persons who have a basic knowledge of machine tools,
including cutting theory, tooling and fixtures. Mori Seiki cannot accept responsibility for accidents
that occur as a result of operation, maintenance, or programming of the machine by personnel
who lack this basic knowledge or sufficient training.
Workpiece materials and shapes vary widely among machine users. Mori Seiki cannot predict the
chucking pressure, spindle speed, feedrate, depth of cut, etc., that will be required in each case
and it is therefore the user's responsibility to determine the appropriate settings.
Each machine is shipped with a variety of built-in safety devices. However, careless handling of
the machine can cause serious accidents. To prevent the occurrence of such accidents, all
programmers and other personnel that deal with the machine must carefully read the manuals
supplied by Mori Seiki, the NC unit manufacturer, and equipment manufacturers, before
attempting to operate, maintain, or program the machine.
Because there are so many "things that cannot be done" and "things that must not be done" when
using the machine, it is impossible to cover all of them in the Instruction Manual. Assume that
something is impossible unless the manual specifically states that it can be done.
The following manuals are supplied with your NC lathe:
1.
Safety Guidelines prepared by Mori Seiki
2.
Instruction Manual prepared by Mori Seiki
•

•
PROGRAMMING MANUAL
3.

4.

In addition to these manuals, ladder diagrams, parameter tables and electrical circuit diagrams are
also supplied with the machine to help with electrical maintenance. The ladder diagrams are
provided in the document box, parameter tables and electrical circuit diagrams are stored in the
document compartment inside the electrical cabinet. Please make use of these materials when
carrying out maintenance work.
Fundamental safety information is presented in the following pages.
All cautions on operation must be strictly observed when operating the machine, carrying out
maintenance work, or writing programs. Failure to observe fundamental safety information can
cause accidents in which the operator or other personnel working near the machine are seriously
injured, or the machine is damaged. All personnel that deal with the machine must carefully read
and thoroughly understand the information in the following pages before attempting programming
or operating the machine.
The vocabulary and terms used for machine parts and operations in the warnings, cautions and
notes are defined or explained in the manual texts and illustrations.
If you are unsure of the meaning of any word or expression, please refer to the corresponding
textual explanation or illustration. If you still cannot understand or are unsure of the meaning,
contact Mori Seiki for clarification.
