greatest extent possible.
- Do not create situations which may potentially start a fire.
• Machine under the proper cutting conditions.
• Perform proper tool management to prevent the occurrence of abnormal frictional heat and sparks.
• Do not allow chips to accumulate in the machining chamber.
• Check that a constant and full supply of cutting fluid is provided.
• Always clean up and organize the area around the machine, and do not place flammable objects in the
area.
Precautions for machining of flammable solids, resins, wood, and other flammable materials.
When machining flammable solids or other special materials, be sure to fully implement safety measures
after gaining a thorough understanding of the material properties. Be sure to also pay careful attention to
safety when machining resins, wood, and other materials.
When machining materials that generate dust and powder, be sure to provide equipment that takes into
account the danger of a dust explosion for certain material types.
Precautions for machining while blowing air.
Because air blowing has weak cooling performance, the chips that spray and fly out in the surrounding
area are extremely hot. Do not place flammable objects in the machining chamber or in the area surrounding the machine.
2.1.4Confirmation of Machine Status
- Machine inspections and maintenance must be performed regularly to maintain optimum machining
accuracy and long-term performance, and increase machine operating efficiency.
- Confirm that all safety devices are functioning normally.

the event of an abnormal or dangerous situation (refer to “2.3.1 [Emergency Stop] Switch”).
29F-21E-2006 (en)MAKINO
SAFETY2-3
- Check for any loose, damaged, or worn parts on the machine. Operating the machine in a condition in
which any of the parts has an abnormality may cause abnormal noises or damage to the machine.
- Check for any damaged piping or wiring. Operating the machine with the piping or wiring left damaged
may cause oil leakage, electrical shock, or fire.
- Use the most appropriate cutting tool, tool holder, retention knob, and workpiece, and make sure that
they are all secured firmly in place. Otherwise, the workpiece may fall or the tool may fly out, and this
may result in damage to the machine, serious injury, or death.
- Check that the tool numbers are registered correctly. Otherwise, the spindle may rotate at a speed outside the allowable range, the tool may fly out, and this may result in damage to the machine, serious injury, or death.
2.1.5Pre-operation Checks
- Be sure that you fully understand the work procedures and precautions before operating and maintaining the machine. Never operate any machinery if you are unsure about any points.
- Check that the clothes you are wearing are suitable for operation.
- Perform periodic maintenance.
- Confirm that all safety devices are functioning properly before operating and maintaining the machine.
- Periodically back up the parameters when the machine was shipped and the program and offset data
that have been prepared by the customer. Makino is not liable for any program or offset data that is
corrupted or lost.
- Makino does not accept responsibility for any trouble caused by apparatus or programs prepared by
the customers, such as damage to workpieces or the machine.
- For details about replacement parts, contact your Makino service representative. Use of improper parts
may result in reduced machine performance or safety, damage to the machine, or operator injuries.
- Before entering inside the machine to perform work, be sure to confirm the escape procedure in the
event that you inadvertently become shut inside the machine.
- Perform the lock-out and tag-out procedures.
- Make sure the operator knows the location of the [Emergency Stop] switches for each device so that
they can be easily operated in the event of an abnormal or dangerous situation.
- Be sure to observe the information on the warning labels. Contact your Makino service representative if
a warning label comes off or becomes illegible.
- When handling a hazardous or toxic material (oils, cutting fluids, and other chemical substances), obtain
the safety data sheet (SDS), and follow the instructions. The safety data sheet (SDS) contains information about the safe handling of hazardous and toxic materials, and emergency measures.
- For the graphite specifications, do not let the dust collector collect anything other than graphite dust.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in a dust explosion. Also, it may damage the filter or cause
other malfunctions.
- For the graphite specifications, observe the following precautions to prevent health problems related to
the inhalation of graphite dust.
• After machining the workpieces, wait for the dust collector to remove airborne dust particles before
opening the operator door. If you open the operator door immediately after machining, the airborne
dust will disperse throughout the machining room.
• Wear a high-performance dust-proof mask when doing the following (particle collection efficiency of
99.9% or more is recommended).
- Opening and closing the operator door
- Performing an operation with the operator door open

2.1.6Implementing Lock-out and Tag-out
Lock-out consists of shutting down the power source to the machine or devices and locking it.
Example: .................... Set the main power switch to the “OFF” position and secure it using a padlock or a
lockout device such as a cover.
Tag-out consists of placing a warning tag to prevent anyone from turning ON the power.
Example: .................... Place a “Do Not Operate” or “Under Maintenance” sign with the operator’s name and
department and indicating that machine operation is prohibited on the main power
switch and main operation panel.
Lock-out/tag-out should be performed to prevent inadvertent operation and ensure operator safety.
- Performing lock-out/tag-out alone does not completely ensure operator safety. The operator must read
and thoroughly understand the work procedures and safety precautions, and always be aware of potential hazards.
Each operator should perform lock-out or tag-out by himself or herself. Perform this procedure before
starting the work, and release the lock and remove warning tag yourself after finishing work. Never release a lock and remove a sign without confirming with the operator or without the presence of the operator himself or herself.
