1.2 GENERAL WARNINGS AND NOTES
WARNING
1 Before operating the machine, thoroughly check the
entered data. Operating the machine with incorrect
data may result in the machine behaving
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the
workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.
2 Never attempt to perform a production run, such as
actually machining a workpiece, without first checking
the operation of the machine. Before starting the
machine for a production run, ensure that the program
command values, offsets, current position, external
signals, and other settings are suitable for the
operation to be performed. Also check that the
machine operates correctly by performing a trial run
using, for example, the single block, feedrate
override, or machine lock function or by operating the
machine with neither a tool nor workpiece mounted.
3 Ensure that the specified feedrate is appropriate for
the intended operation. Generally, for each machine,
there is a maximum allowable feedrate.
The appropriate feedrate varies with the intended
operation. Refer to the manual provided with the
machine to determine the maximum allowable
feedrate. If a machine is run at other than the correct
speed, it may behave unexpectedly, possibly causing
damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or
injury to the user.
4 When using a tool compensation function,
thoroughly check the direction and amount of
compensation. Operating the machine with incorrectly
specified data may result in the machine behaving
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the
workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.
5 The parameters for the CNC and PMC are
factory-set. Usually, there is not need to change them.
When, however, there is not alternative other than to
change a parameter, ensure that you fully understand
the function of the parameter before making any
change. Failure to set a parameter correctly may
result in the machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly
causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine
itself, or injury to the user.
