1.2 GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNING
1 Never attempt to machine a workpiece without first
checking the operation of the machine. Before
starting a production run, ensure that the machine
is operating 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. Failure to confirm the correct operation
of the machine may result in the machine behaving
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the
workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the
user.
2 Before operating the machine, thoroughly check
the entered data.
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.
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.
