-18- FOR SAFE OPERATION
SO-NL-B17E/O
WARNING
<To prevent starting of the spindle>
1) Unclamp the chuck.
2) Set the spindle speed range to "Neutral".
(Applies only to machines equipped with a transmission.)
3) Close the switch covers of the spindle normal rotation and
spindle reverse rotation switches.
(Applies to machines equipped with covered switches.)
4) Set the operation selection key-switch to the "operation
disable" position.
(Applies to machines equipped with a flat type operation panel.)
<To ensure operator safety if the spindle is started by mistake>
1) Set the spindle speed adjusting switch to the lowest setting.
<To prevent turret head indexing (for example when changing a
cutting tool)>
1) Set the turret indexing switch to the station number that is
currently indexed.
2) Close the switch cover over the turret indexing switch. (Applies
to machines equipped with covered switches.)
3) Set the operation selection key-switch to the "operation
disable" position. (Applies to machines equipped with a flat
type operation panel.)
3.
When using a manually tightened chuck or fixture, always remove
the clamp handle or tightening tool from the chuck or fixture after
tightening. If the spindle is started with the clamp handle or
tightening tool still in place the handle/tool will fly out, causing
serious injuries or damage to the machine.
4.
Always select the most appropriate cutting tool and holder for the
material and shape of the workpiece to be machined and cutting
method, and check that the workpiece can be machined without any
problems.
If an inappropriate cutting tool or holder is selected, the workpiece
could fly out of the chuck during machining, causing serious injuries
or damage to the machine. Machining accuracy will also be
adversely affected.
5.
Make sure that the cutting tool, holder, soft jaws, and tailstock (if
featured) are all tightened securely. If they are not tightened
securely, the cutting tool or workpiece will fly out of the machine
during machining, causing serious injuries or damage to the
machine.
