Operator Safety
• Make sure the machine is properly located and secured. Allow sufficient
access to the machine to prevent the danger of contacting other
machinery.
• Ensure that all external cables are contained in their flexible cable
guides.
• The electronics cabinet houses terminals that carry up to 450 VAC.
Shock hazards are present. Even
low voltage shocks can cause death.
Make sure service is properly grounded. Be sure the electrical power
cord plug and receptacle are provided with a third terminal ground
connection.
• Always keep the machine’s electrical cabinet closed. Allow only autho-
rized electrical maintenance personnel access to the electrical cabinet.
Never defeat the cabinet interlocks.
• Never route cords across aisles or through water or oil. If using exten-
sion cords, regularly check for worn insulation or exposed wires. Never
use defective cords.
• Never touch electrical equipment when hands are wet. Never activate
electrical circuits while standing on a wet surface.
• Be sure the main air line is securely attached to the air supply system
inlet port.
• Police the work area. Remove any tools left on the machine. Tools
should be returned to their box after each use. Tools or materials
scattered around are a leading cause of damage/injury.
• Keep the machine clean. The work areas around the machine should be
clear of oil and chips. Clean the machine as required. Inspect daily for
loose, worn or damaged parts.
• Never overload the machine. Always operate within the specified size
and weight limitation. (See specification section of this manual).
• Always use power equipment to lift or move heavy inspection pieces
into the work area.
• When lifting parts onto and off of the machine always ensure a safe
escape route in case the lifting apparatus fails
• Be careful when handling workpieces. Cutting operations produce sharp
edges.
• Load heavy parts in the center of the table if possible.
• Before mounting work holding devices or workpieces, be sure that all
mounting surfaces are clean and free of chips.
• It is good practice to avoid loading and unloading parts over the rails.
