1.1 FOR SAFETY DURING OPERATION
To ensure safety while using a machine featuring the MANUAL
GUIDE function that is made according to this programming manual,
observe the following precautions:
WARNING
1 Confirm, on the screen, that the data has been entered correctly before proceeding
to the next operation. Attempting operation with incorrect data may cause the tool to
strike the work-piece or machine, possibly breaking the tool or machine or injuring
the operator.
2 Before starting the machine using the tool compensation function, carefully
determine the direction of compensation and the compensation value, and ensure
that the tool will not strike the work-piece or machine. Otherwise the tool or machine
may be damaged or the operator may injured.
3 Before playing back an operation after teaching it, check the tool paths on the
confirmation screen to ensure that the tool will not strike the work-piece or machine.
Otherwise, the tool or machine may be damaged or the operator may be injured.
4 To use constant surface speed control, set a value allowed for the work-piece and
work-piece holding unit for the maximum spindle speed data item. If the set value is
not appropriate, the work-piece or holding unit may fly due to centrifugal force,
possibly breaking the machine or injuring the operator.
5 Set all necessary parameters and data items before starting MANUAL GUIDE
operations. Note that if the cutting conditions are not suitable for the work-piece, the
tool may be damaged or the operator may be injured.
6 After teaching a machining program created using MANUAL GUIDE functions, do no
run the machine on that program immediately. Instead, confirm every step of the
resultant program, and make sure that the tool path and machining operation are
correct and that the tool will not strike the work-piece or machine. Before starting
production machining, run the machine with no work-piece attached to the machine
to make sure that the tool will not strike a work-piece or the machine. If the tool
strikes the machine and/or work-piece, the tool and/or machine may be damaged,
and even injuries the operator.
CAUTION
After pressing the power-on button, do not touch any keys on the keyboard until the
initial screen appears. Some keys are used for maintenance or special operations
such that pressing such a key may cause an unexpected operation.
