CHAPTER 1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This machine is designed as a machine tool for mould cutting, and the selection of work pieces
material refer to the capacity of tool. Never try to use this machine out of original limits. If there is
any problem, please contact your agent.

This machining center contains hazards from rotating cutting tools, belts and pulleys, high voltage
electricity, noise, and compressed air. When using this machine and its components, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and mechanical
damage.

Before operating this machine, read this instruction manual carefully and follow all of the safety
rules mentioned in this manual to prevent serious person injury or mechanical damage.

Safety precautions

15. When moving the workpiece or replacing the tool, wear gloves to prevent person injury
resulted from the sharp edge of the workpiece or the tool.
16. Regularly clean the coolant tank up to prevent germs.
17. Keep the window clear. When the window becomes invisible, replace a new one. The
recommended period for replacing the window is every two year.
18. Forbid to operate this machine in the environment which has possibility of explosion.
19. In addition to maintenance, never climb on the machine.
20. The machine has the three-color signal lamp to warn operators of the machine current status.
Please pay attention to the status from this lamp when operating the machine. The meaning
of colors:
Red – Danger (Press emergency stop button.)
Orange – Warning (Abnormal situation occurs.)
Green – Normal (Normal operation.)
21. When the adopted tool diameter and speed are more or higher than the allowable range, the
splash guard has to be modified to the proper strength.
22. Never put any stuff on the movable parts or control panel to prevent machine sudden
behaving.

B. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE MACHINE STARTING

1. Before starting this machine, make sure no leakage is from any pipes and the environment of
the machine.
2. Before starting this machine, check emergency buttons, indicator lamps and all the switches
are function normally.
3. Follow the directions of the warning and indicating labels on the machine.
4. Never ruin the warning and indicating labels on the machine.
5. Before starting this machine, make sure no damage on the power cables to prevent person
injury resulted from electrical shock.
6. Before starting this machine, make sure all the pressure gauges work normally.
7. Before starting this machine, make sure all the indicator lights work normally.
8. Before starting this machine, make sure lubricant, hydraulic oil, and coolant are sufficient.
9. Before starting this machine, make sure all the safety doors are closed to prevent person
injury resulted from chips or coolant.
10. Before starting this machine, make sure the tool has been secured.
11. Before starting this machine, make sure workpiece has been secured.
12. Before starting this machine, make sure no obstacle in the working area.
13. Before starting this machine, make sure no obstacle in the working travel.

C. PRECAUTIONS DURING MACHINE OPERATION

1. During machine operation, forbid to open any safety doors.

2. During machine operation, forbid to clean up the chips inside the machine.
3. During machine operation, forbid to check the status of workpiece inside the machine
4. During machine operation, forbid to enter the machine inside to remove or replace
workpiece.
5. During machine operation, be careful not to get your hair or clothes caught by the rotary
section.
6. During machine operation, never let unrelated personnel close to machine.
7. During machine operation, if the power is broken suddenly, turn off the main power switch
immediately.
8. When break down or abnormality occurs at machine operation, turn off the main power
before troubleshooting.
9. During machine operation, never attempt to do any adjustment.
10. When operating the machine, never set the speed higher than the max. allowable speed.
11. During machine operation, never touch the workpiece or the behaving parts of the machine.
12. During machine operation, never enter the area protected by safety doors or splash guard.
13. When the machine has been set to auto running, never attempt to press any button on the
operator’s panel, except abnormal running.
14. The illumination for operator should be higher than 500 lux.
15. Never touch the illumination device after the machine running for a long time to prevent
personal injury resulted from hot.
16. When the noise produced from machine operation is higher than 80 Deci-Bel, wear ear
protect tor or earplugs.
17. When adapting wet type of machining, use coolant to reduce the high heat from machining.
18. If workpiece or tools weight higher than 10 kg, move or lift them with means of transport or
lifting devices.
19. When cleaning up the chips or replacing tools, wear gloves to prevent person injury.
20. After completing the work, switch off the machine power.
