B-63944EN-2/02 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
s-3
SAFETY PRECAUTIONSB-63944EN-2/02
WARNING
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.
6 Immediately after switching on the power, do not
touch any of the keys on the MDI panel until the
position display or alarm screen appears on the
CNC unit.
Some of the keys on the MDI panel are dedicated
to maintenance or other special operations.
Pressing any of these keys may place the CNC
unit in other than its normal state. Starting the
machine in this state may cause it to behave
unexpectedly.
7 The User’s Manual and programming manual
supplied with a CNC unit provide an overall
description of the machine's functions, including
any optional functions. Note that the optional
functions will vary from one machine model to
another. Therefore, some functions described in
the manuals may not actually be available for a
particular model. Check the specification of the
machine if in doubt.
8 Some functions may have been implemented at
the request of the machine-tool builder. When
using such functions, refer to the manual supplied
by the machine-tool builder for details of their use
and any related cautions.
CAUTION
The liquid-crystal display is manufactured with very
precise fabrication technology. Some pixels may
not be turned on or may remain on. This
phenomenon is a common attribute of LCDs and is
not a defect.
s-4
B-63944EN-2/02 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
NOTE
Programs, parameters, and macro variables are
stored in nonvolatile memory in the CNC unit.
Usually, they are retained even if the power is
turned off.
Such data may be deleted inadvertently, however,
or it may prove necessary to delete all data from
nonvolatile memory as part of error recovery.
To guard against the occurrence of the above, and
assure quick restoration of deleted data, backup all
vital data, and keep the backup copy in a safe
place.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONSB-63944EN-2/02
1.3 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS RELATED TO
PROGRAMMING
This section covers the major safety precautions related to
programming. Before attempting to perform programming, read the
supplied User’s Manual carefully such that you are fully familiar with
their contents.
WARNING
1 Coordinate system settingIf a coordinate system is established incorrectly,
the machine may behave unexpectedly as a result
of the program issuing an otherwise valid move
command. Such an unexpected operation may
damage the tool, the machine itself, the workpiece,
or cause injury to the user.
2 Positioning by nonlinear interpolationWhen performing positioning by nonlinear
interpolation (positioning by nonlinear movement
between the start and end points), the tool path
must be carefully confirmed before performing
programming. Positioning involves rapid traverse. If
the tool collides with the workpiece, it may damage
the tool, the machine itself, the workpiece, or
cause injury to the user.
3 Function involving a rotation axisWhen programming polar coordinate interpolation
or normal-direction (perpendicular) control, pay
careful attention to the speed of the rotation axis.
Incorrect programming may result in the rotation
axis speed becoming excessively high, such that
centrifugal force causes the chuck to lose its grip
on the workpiece if the latter is not mounted
securely. Such mishap is likely to damage the tool,
the machine itself, the workpiece, or cause injury to
the user.
4 Inch/metric conversionSwitching between inch and metric inputs does not
convert the measurement units of data such as the
workpiece origin offset, parameter, and current
position. Before starting the machine, therefore,
determine which measurement units are being
used. Attempting to perform an operation with
invalid data specified may damage the tool, the
machine itself, the workpiece, or cause injury to the
user.
s-6
B-63944EN-2/02 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
5 Constant surface speed controlWhen an axis subject to constant surface speed
control approaches the origin of the workpiece
coordinate system, the spindle speed may become
excessively high. Therefore, it is necessary to
specify a maximum allowable speed. Specifying
the maximum allowable speed incorrectly may
damage the tool, the machine itself, the workpiece,
or cause injury to the user.
6 Stroke checkAfter switching on the power, perform a manual
reference position return as required. Stroke check
is not possible before manual reference position
return is performed. Note that when stroke check is
disabled, an alarm is not issued even if a stroke
limit is exceeded, possibly damaging the tool, the
machine itself, the workpiece, or causing injury to
the user.
7 Tool post interference checkA tool post interference check is performed based
on the tool data specified during automatic
operation. If the tool specification does not match
the tool actually being used, the interference check
cannot be made correctly, possibly damaging the
tool or the machine itself, or causing injury to the
user. After switching on the power, or after
selecting a tool post manually, always start
automatic operation and specify the tool number of
the tool to be used.
8 Absolute/incremental modeIf a program created with absolute values is run in
incremental mode, or vice versa, the machine may
behave unexpectedly.
9 Plane selectionIf an incorrect plane is specified for circular
interpolation, helical interpolation, or a canned
cycle, the machine may behave unexpectedly.
Refer to the descriptions of the respective
functions for details.
10 Torque limit skipBefore attempting a torque limit skip, apply the
torque limit. If a torque limit skip is specified
without the torque limit actually being applied, a
move command will be executed without
performing a skip.
s-7
SAFETY PRECAUTIONSB-63944EN-2/02
WARNING
11 Programmable mirror imageNote that programmed operations vary
considerably when a programmable mirror image is
enabled.
12 Compensation functionIf a command based on the machine coordinate
system or a reference position return command is
issued in compensation function mode,
compensation is temporarily canceled, resulting in
the unexpected behavior of the machine.
Before issuing any of the above commands,
therefore, always cancel compensation function
mode.
s-8
B-63944EN-2/02 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.4 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS RELATED TO
HANDLING
This section presents safety precautions related to the handling of
machine tools. Before attempting to operate your machine, read the
supplied User’s Manual carefully, such that you are fully familiar with
their contents.
WARNING
1 Manual operationWhen operating the machine manually, determine
the current position of the tool and workpiece, and
ensure that the movement axis, direction, and
feedrate have been specified correctly. Incorrect
operation of the machine may damage the tool, the
machine itself, the workpiece, or cause injury to the
operator.
2 Manual reference position returnAfter switching on the power, perform manual
reference position return as required.
If the machine is operated without first performing
manual reference position return, it may behave
unexpectedly. Stroke check is not possible before
manual reference position return is performed.
An unexpected operation of the machine may
damage the tool, the machine itself, the workpiece,
or cause injury to the user.
3 Manual numeric commandWhen issuing a manual numeric command,
determine the current position of the tool and
workpiece, and ensure that the movement axis,
direction, and command have been specified
correctly, and that the entered values are valid.
Attempting to operate the machine with an invalid
command specified may damage the tool, the
machine itself, the workpiece, or cause injury to the
operator.
4 Manual handle feedIn manual handle feed, rotating the handle with a
large scale factor, such as 100, applied causes the
tool and table to move rapidly. Careless handling
may damage the tool and/or machine, or cause
injury to the user.
s-9
SAFETY PRECAUTIONSB-63944EN-2/02
WARNING
5 Disabled overrideIf override is disabled (according to the
specification in a macro variable) during threading,
rigid tapping, or other tapping, the speed cannot be
predicted, possibly damaging the tool, the machine
itself, the workpiece, or causing injury to the
operator.
6 Origin/preset operationBasically, never attempt an origin/preset operation
when the machine is operating under the control of
a program. Otherwise, the machine may behave
unexpectedly, possibly damaging the tool, the
machine itself, the tool, or causing injury to the
user.
7 Workpiece coordinate system shiftManual intervention, machine lock, or mirror
imaging may shift the workpiece coordinate
system. Before attempting to operate the machine
under the control of a program, confirm the
coordinate system carefully.
If the machine is operated under the control of a
program without making allowances for any shift in
the workpiece coordinate system, the machine
may behave unexpectedly, possibly damaging the
tool, the machine itself, the workpiece, or causing
injury to the operator.
8 Software operator's panel and menu switchesUsing the software operator's panel and menu
switches, in combination with the MDI panel, it is
possible to specify operations not supported by the
machine operator's panel, such as mode change,
override value change, and jog feed commands.
Note, however, that if the MDI panel keys are
operated inadvertently, the machine may behave
unexpectedly, possibly damaging the tool, the
machine itself, the workpiece, or causing injury to
the user.
9 RESET key Pressing the RESET key stops the currently
running program. As a result, the servo axes are
stopped. However, the RESET key may fail to
function for reasons such as an MDI panel
problem. So, when the motors must be stopped,
use the emergency stop button instead of the
RESET key to ensure security.
s-10
B-63944EN-2/02 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
10 Manual interventionIf manual intervention is performed during
programmed operation of the machine, the tool
path may vary when the machine is restarted.
Before restarting the machine after manual
intervention, therefore, confirm the settings of the
manual absolute switches, parameters, and
absolute/incremental command mode.
11 Feed hold, override, and single blockThe feed hold, feedrate override, and single block
functions can be disabled using custom macro
system variable #3004. Be careful when operating
the machine in this case.
12 Dry runUsually, a dry run is used to confirm the operation
of the machine. During a dry run, the machine
operates at dry run speed, which differs from the
corresponding programmed feedrate. Note that the
dry run speed may sometimes be higher than the
programmed feed rate.
13 Cutter and tool nose radius compensation in
MDI modePay careful attention to a tool path specified by a
command in MDI mode, because cutter or tool
nose radius compensation is not applied. When a
command is entered from the MDI to interrupt in
automatic operation in cutter or tool nose radius
compensation mode, pay particular attention to the
tool path when automatic operation is subsequently
resumed. Refer to the descriptions of the
corresponding functions for details.
14 Program editingIf the machine is stopped, after which the
machining program is edited (modification,
insertion, or deletion), the machine may behave
unexpectedly if machining is resumed under the
control of that program. Basically, do not modify,
insert, or delete commands from a machining
program while it is in use.
s-11
SAFETY PRECAUTIONSB-63944EN-2/02
1.5 WARNINGS RELATED TO DAILY MAINTENANCE
WARNING
1 Memory backup battery replacementWhen replacing the memory backup batteries,
keep the power to the machine (CNC) turned on,
and apply an emergency stop to the machine.
Because this work is performed with the power on
and the cabinet open, only those personnel who
have received approved safety and maintenance
training may perform this work.
When replacing the batteries, be careful not to
touch the high-voltage circuits (marked
fitted with an insulating cover).
Touching the uncovered high-voltage circuits
presents an extremely dangerous electric shock
hazard.
NOTE
The CNC uses batteries to preserve the contents
of its memory, because it must retain data such as
programs, offsets, and parameters even while
external power is not applied.
If the battery voltage drops, a low battery voltage
alarm is displayed on the machine operator's panel
or screen.
When a low battery voltage alarm is displayed,
replace the batteries within a week. Otherwise, the
contents of the CNC's memory will be lost.
Refer to the Section “Method of replacing battery”

1.1 NOTES ON READING THIS MANUAL
CAUTION
1 The function of an CNC machine tool system
depends not only on the CNC, but on the
combination of the machine tool, its magnetic
cabinet, the servo system, the CNC, the operator's
panels, etc. It is too difficult to describe the function,
programming, and operation relating to all
combinations. This manual generally describes these
from the stand-point of the CNC. So, for details on a
particular CNC machine tool, refer to the manual
issued by the machine tool builder, which should take
precedence over this manual.
2 In the header field of each page of this manual, a
chapter title is indicated so that the reader can
reference necessary information easily.
By finding a desired title first, the reader can
reference necessary parts only.
3 This manual describes as many reasonable variations
in equipment usage as possible. It cannot address
every combination of features, options and commands
that should not be attempted.
If a particular combination of operations is not
described, it should not be attempted.
1.2 NOTES ON VARIOUS KINDS OF DATA
CAUTION
Machining programs, parameters, offset data, etc.
are stored in the CNC unit internal non-volatile
memory. In general, these contents are not lost by
the switching ON/OFF of the power. However, it is
possible that a state can occur where precious data
stored in the non-volatile memory has to be deleted,
because of deletions from a maloperation, or by a
failure restoration. In order to restore rapidly when
this kind of mishap occurs, it is recommended that
you create a copy of the various kinds of data
beforehand.
