GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNING
1 Before attempting to use a conversational function (such as the creation/editing/run of
machining programs, machining simulation, and the measurement of tool compensation),
close the doors of the machine, and apply any other safety measures deemed necessary.
Failure to apply the necessary safety precautions may result in the serious injury, or even death,
of the user or bystanders.
2. Before proceeding to the next step of a procedure, check the display on the screen carefully to
ensure that the data has been entered exactly as intended.
If the machine is operated with incorrect data, the tool may collide with the machine and/or
workpiece, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, or even injury to the user or
bystanders.
3. When the tool compensation function is being used before starting the machine, check the
direction and amount of compensation so that the tool will not collide with the workpiece or
machine.
If the tool collides with the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be
damaged, plus there is the danger of injury to the user or bystanders.
4. After you create a machining program using a conversational function, do not operate the
machine using that program immediately. Instead, perform a machining simulation to ensure
that the tool path and machining operation are satisfactory and that the tool will not collide with
the workpiece or machine (including the jig).
If the tool collides with the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be
damaged, plus there is the danger of injury to the user or bystanders.
5. After you convert a machining program, created using a conversational function, to NC
program format, do not operate the machine using that program immediately. Instead, confirm
every step of the NC program, and ensure that the tool path and machining operation are
satisfactory and that the tool will not collide with the workpiece or machine (including the jig).
Before starting production machining, operate the machine without a workpiece mounted to
ensure that the tool will not collide with the workpiece (were it to be mounted) or the machine
(including the jig).
If the tool collides with the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be
damaged, plus there is the danger of injury to the user or bystanders.
6. Before starting to create a machining program using a conversational function, first check that
all required data within the tool file, cutting condition file, and pre–tool list, and all parameters
required for the conversational function, is set correctly.
If any of the required data is not set correctly, the cutting conditions will not be set correctly,
possibly resulting in damage to the tool, or even injury to the user or bystanders.
