SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNING
1.
Before starting to use the conversational functions (such as creation/run of machining programs,
measurement of tool compensation, and specification of a chuck barrier), close the doors of the
machine, and take any other necessary safety measures.
Failure to take a necessary safety measure may bring about the death of, or a serious injury to,
the user.
2.
Before going to the next step of handling or operation, check the display on the screen carefully
to assure that the intended data has been entered correctly.
If the machine is used with incorrect data, the tool may bump against the machine and/or
workpiece, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, and even injuries.
3.
When you are using a tool compensation function, before starting the machine, check the
direction and amount of compensation so that the tool will not bump against the workpiece or
machine.
If the tool bumps against the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be
damaged, and even injuries may occur.
4.
After you create a machining program using a conversational function, do not run the machine
on that program immediately. Instead, carry out machining simulation to make sure that the tool
path and machining operation are correct and that the tool will not bump against the workpiece
or machine (including the chuck and tailstock).
If the tool bumps against the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be
damaged, and even injuries may occur.
5.
After you convert a machining program created using a conversational function to NC program
format, do not run the machine on that program immediately. Instead, confirm every step of the
resultant NC program, and make sure that the tool path and machining operation are correct and
that the tool will not bump against the workpiece or machine (including the chuck and tailstock).
Before starting production machining, run the machine with no workpiece attached to the
machine to make sure that the tool will not bump against a workpiece (when attached) or the
machine (including the chuck and tailstock).
If the tool bumps against the machine and/or workpiece, the tool and/or machine may be
damaged, and even injuries may occur.
6.
Before starting to create a machining program using a conversational function, make sure that
all necessary data among the tool data, cutting condition data, surface roughness data, pre–tool
list, and chuck and tailstock data, and all parameters necessary for the conversational function
are set correctly.
If the necessary data is not set correctly, any required cutting conditions will not be set correctly,
possibly causing damage to the tool, and even injuries.
