SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This manual includes safety precautions for protecting the user and preventing damage to
the machine. Precautions are classified into Warnings and Cautions according to their
bearing on safety. Also, supplementary information is described as Notes. Read the
Warnings, Cautions, and Notes thoroughly before attempting to use the machine.
WARNING
Applied when there is a danger of the user being injured or when there
is a danger of both the user being injured and the equipment being
damaged if the approved procedure is not observed.
CAUTION
Applied when there is a danger of the equipment being damaged, if the
approved procedure is not observed.
NOTE
Notes is used to indicate supplementary information other than
Warnings and Cautions.
¡ Read this manual carefully, and store it in a safe place.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-62994EN/02
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.
5. The parameters for the CNC and PMC are factory-set. Usually,
there is no need to change them. When, however, there is no
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.

B-62994EN/02 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
1. The operator's manual for Basic Operation Package 1 describes all
the basic functions of the CNC unit, including the optional
functions. The selected optional functions vary with the machine.
Some functions described in the manual may not, therefore, be
supported by your machine. Check the machine specifications
before using Basic Operation Package 1.
2. Some machine operations and screen functions are implemented
by the machine tool builder. For an explanation of their usage and
related notes, refer to the manual provided by the machine tool
builder.
For example:
l On some machines, executing a tool function causes the tool
change unit to operate. When executing a tool function on such
a machine, stand well clear of the tool change unit. Otherwise,
there is a danger of injury to the operator.
l Many auxiliary functions trigger physical operations, such as
rotation of the spindle. Before attempting to use an auxiliary
function, therefore, ensure that you are fully aware of the
operation to be triggered by that function.
NOTE
l Command programs, parameters, and variables are stored in
nonvolatile memory in the CNC. Generally, the contents of memory
are not lost by a power on/off operation. However, the contents of
memory may be erased by mistake, or important data in nonvolatile
memory may have to be erased upon recovering from a failure.
To enable the restoration of data as soon as possible if such a
situation arises, always make a backup of the data in advance.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-62994EN/02
Warnings and Cautions Relating to Basic
Operation Package 1
Warnings and cautions relating to Basic Operation Package 1 are explained in
this manual. Before using the function, read this manual thoroughly to
become familiar with the provided Warnings, Cautions, and Notes.
On the next page, the points to be noted when Basic Operation Package 1 is
used are summarized. These points are not explained in Chapter 1 and the
subsequent chapters of this manual. Read this part before attempting to use
the function.
s-4
B-62994EN/02 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Important Notice
The following summarizes the points to be noted when Basic Operation
Package 1 is used. Before attempting to use Basic Operation Package 1, read
the following:
CAUTION
l This manual does not explain in detail those operations and
parameters that vary from one CNC model to another and which vary
with options. For an explanation of such operations and parameters,
refer to the relevant CNC manual and the manual supplied by the
machine tool builder.
l This manual describes as many reasonable variations in 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.
