System Safety

When running any machining operation, safety is of utmost importance. For proper and safe use of the LC controls and your CNC machine, the following safety guidelines must be followed:

1.Never let the machine run unattended.

2.Any person near a running machine tool must wear safety goggles.

3.Allow only trained people to operate the machine. Anyone operating this machine must have:

∙Knowledge of machine tool operation.

∙Knowledge of personal computer operation.

∙Knowledge of Microsoft Windows ®.

∙Good common sense.

4.Place safety guards around the machine to prevent injury from flying objects. Anaheim Automation highly recommends building a plexiglass safety shield around the entire tool envelope.

5.A computer-controlled machine tool is potentially dangerous. Unexpected machine movement can occur at any time. Never place any part of your body within the tool envelope while the machine is online.

6.Be aware and on alert for computer crashes at all times.

7.Always keep the tool envelope tidy and free of any loose objects.
