PCB is required, make sure it is installed before installing the additional axis.

Electrical Safety

Caution:

When you do maintenance or repair on CNC machines and their components, you must always follow

basic safety precautions. This decreases the risk of injury and mechanical damage.

• Set the main circuit breaker to the

[OFF]

position.

Danger:

Before beginning any work inside the control cabinet the High Voltage indicator light on the 320V Power

Supply / Vector Drive must have been off for at least 5 minutes.

Some service procedures can be dangerous or life-threatening. DO NOT attempt a procedure that you do not fully

understand. If you have any doubts about doing a procedure contact your Haas Factory Outlet (HFO) and schedule a

service visit.
