Machine Operator
The operator of the SG7MTS should be a skilled machinist craftsman who is well versed in the caution,
care, and knowledge required to safely operate metal cutting tools.
If the operator is not a skilled machinist he/she must pay strict attention to the Operating Instructions
outlined in this manual, and get instruction from a qualified machinist in both production and operation of
this machine.
The SG7MTS machines have the following areas of exposed moving parts that you must train yourself to
respect and stay away from when they are in motion.
Cutting Tool Area – Any operation involving hands in the tool holder, such as inspection or alignment
of the tool holder or tools, changing tool holder or insert holders, tool insertion, and removal, tool holder
changes, and size checking etc. requires the machine to be in neutral or on the off position.
Machining – Eye protection must be worn during all operations of the machine. Hands must be kept
completely away from the cutter head.
Work Loading and Unloading – Carefully develop handling methods of loading and unloading work
pieces so that no injury can result if hoist equipment or lift connection should fail. Periodically check lift
components for damage that may cause failure of Cylinder head Handler Assembly.
Machine Maintenance
– Any machine adjustment, maintenance or parts replacement absolutely requires
a complete power disconnection from the machine.
Emergency Procedure
Assuming one of the following has occurred: tool bit set completely off size, work piece or spindle base
not clamped, spindle is not properly centered, and these mistakes will become obvious the minute the cut
starts
PRESS THE EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON (on the front control panel) IMMEDIATELY!
Find out what the problem is; return the spindle to its up position without causing more damage. To
restart the machine, turn the Emergency Stop Button CW until the button pops out
Be alert to quickly stop the machine in the event of a serious disruption of the boring process either at the
top or bottom of the bores.
“REMEMBER” metal cutting tools have the speed and torque to severely injure any part of the human
body exposed to them.
