Be sure to Always:
• Take steps to protect the machine tool and control cabinets from
moisture and condensation. Moisture can damage electrical
components, causing unwanted machine motion, leading to injury or
machine damage.
• Maintain the exact original color and vividness of any machining areas
that are color coded as safety precautions.
• Ensure that all shields and guards are in place and all covers, cabinet
doors, and terminal boxes are closed prior to operation.
• Avoid accidentally bumping or touching any machine controls, as this
may cause unintended machine motion causing injury or machine
damage.
• Be alert for loose, damaged, or worn parts on the machine and
associated equipment. Immediately correct or report any; loose items,
noticeable change in operating noise, or any unusual machine action.
• Be aware of the machine and auxiliary component’s moving members
and range of movement which may create pinch points. Always be
cautious of these areas. Avoid pinch points entirely during machine
operation.
• Keep the machining center properly maintained. Perform maintenance
at prescribed intervals, as described in the Maintenance Guide.
Machining center maintenance should be performed only by
authorized individuals.
• Check the level of each fluid reservoir periodically. Add fluids, if
needed, as described in the Maintenance Guide. Use only
recommended lubricants.
• Keep the machining center clean. Keep the work area clear of chips,
rags, etc. Cleaning should be performed, at least, daily.
• Keep away from the ATC (Automatic Tool Changer), APC (Automatic
Pallet Changer), and other exchange devices while the machine is in
automatic operation.
• Double check the set up, tooling, and workpiece before power up.
• Check all clamp bolts for tightness and verify the accuracy of all set
ups before restarting machining operation.
• Use caution when handling workpieces, after machining. Machining
can produce sharp edges and at times considerable heat.

1.6.2 Chains
Lifting chains must be stored properly to prevent damage when not in use.
When using chains:
• Never exceed the lifting capacity of any chain.
• Do not drag chains.
• Do not allow chains to become tangled or kinked.
• Never twist chains in an attempt to shorten their length. Use proper
devices to shorten a chain’s length.
• Use chains equipped with enclosed lifting hooks.

1.6.5 Rings
When possible use a lifting ring or clevis instead of an eye bolt. Secure the
lifting ring with the correct inch/metric series bolt.
• Never exceed the lifting capacity on any lifting ring or clevis.
