Safety
READ BEFORE OPERATING THIS MACHINE:
All milling machines contain hazards from rotating cutting tools, belts and pulleys, high voltage
electricity, noise, and compressed air. When using milling machines and their components, basic
safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and
mechanical damage.
READ ALL APPROPRIATE WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THIS MACHINE.
♦ Only authorized personnel should work on this machine. Untrained personnel present a hazard to
themselves and the machine, and improper operation will void the warranty.
♦ Check for damaged parts and tools before operating the machine. Any part or tool that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced. Do not operate the machine if any component does not appear
to be functioning correctly. Contact your shop supervisor.
♦ Use appropriate eye and ear protection while operating the machine. ANSI approved impact safety
goggles and OSHA-approved ear protection are recommended to reduce the risks of sight damage and
hearing loss.
♦ Do not operate the machine unless the doors are closed and the door interlocks are functioning
properly. Rotating cutting tools can cause severe injury. When a program is running, the mill table and
spindle head can move rapidly at any time in any direction.
♦ The Emergency Stop button is the large, circular red switch located on the Control Panel. Pressing the
Emergency Stop button will instantly stop all motion of the machine, the servo motors, the tool
changer, and the coolant pump. Use the Emergency Stop button only in emergencies to avoid crashing
the machine.
♦ The electrical panel should be closed and secured at all times except during installation and service.
At those times, only qualified electricians should have access to the panel. When the main circuit
breaker is on, there is high voltage throughout the electrical panel (including the circuit boards and
logic circuits) and some components operate at high temperatures. Therefore, extreme caution is
required. Once the machine is installed, the control cabinet must be locked and the key available only
to qualified service personnel.
♦ DO NOT modify or alter this equipment in any way. If modifications are necessary, all such requests
must be handled by LEI Tech. Any modification or alteration of any Milling Machine or Turning
Center could lead to personal injury and/or mechanical damage and will void your warranty.
♦ Consult your local safety codes and regulations before operating the machine. Contact your dealer
anytime safety issues need to be addressed.
