2. PRECAUTIONS ON USEDESCRIPTIONS FOR THE α series
19
D Prevent the cutting fluid from being led to the motor through the cable.
When the motor connector is used in the up position, put a drip loop
in the cable.
D When the motor connector is up, the cutting fluid is collected in the
cable connector through the cable. Turn the motor connector sideways
or downward as far as possible. Most of the defects caused by the
cutting fluid have occurred in the cable connector.
The standard receptacle on the motor side is waterproof. If the cable
connector will be subjected to moisture, it is recommended that an R
class or waterproof plug be used. Suitable plugs are listed in the cable
plug combination recommendations in Chapter 8. (The standard MS
plug is not waterproof; water is liable to enter the pin section.)
