Operator’s Addendum
Safety
Read and Follow all safety warnings - Familiarize yourself with the safety section of the Operator’s
Manual. Be aware of the other people around you in the shop; ying chips can seriously injure people, who
may not be a safe distance away. Always wear safety glasses. Initial cuts/setups should be cut at a slower
speed to reduce the possibility of tool or machine damage. As with any open frame mill, chip screens are
highly recommended.
This machine must be operated only by trained and qualied personnel in order to insure a safe environment.
The following precautions are provided to help protect the machine operator against accidents. Every operator
of this machine must read this section and understand the requirements necessary to operate this equipment
in a safe manner. These
guidelines are only available
in English, it is the customer’s
responsibility to make non-
English speaking personnel
aware of these guidelines.
Modications to this machine or
these procedures will not insure
safe operation. The machine
power must be turned OFF prior
to the removal of any panels for
the purpose of service or maintenance access.
Any additional guards or safety
devices deemed necessary, are
the sole responsibility of the
machine operator.

This machine is designed to be operated as an “Open
Architecture” machine. “Open Architecture” refers to a machine
that does not include every guard necessary to keep the
operator out of the machining envelope. To avoid accidents
the operator must stay within the Operator Zone (as shown in
the following gure), during machining operations. During the
operation of this machine all personnel must remain outside of
the Stay Clear Zone.
Areas of the machine, especially
on open frame mills, may have
unguarded areas. The installation of
the machine should be such that it
will limit the access to the machine.
As the machine may start unexpectedly personnel or property could be damaged.
This machine moves quickly. It is the shop owners responsibility to provide mea-
sures to safeguard the worker.
Photoelectric beams are used to stop the machine should personnel or equipment enter the protected area.
This system will also stop the machine should a large quantity of coolant and/or machining chips pass through
the beam. If this happens change the set-up or machining process to avoid this condition.

Remove the two long bolts that secure the lower shipping bracket to the table. The shipping bracket has two
additional bolts threaded into it. These bolts replace the long shipping bolts in the table. The long shipping
bolts should be threaded into the shipping bracket and stored in the event the machine is moved.
Remove the shipping brackets which secure the head to the table. In addition there are shipping bolts which
hold the Y-axis to the bridge that need to be removed. Install the sheetmetal cover over the sub-plate, on the
tool changer side of the machine.
