WARNING! Entanglement / Entrapment Hazard. The machine operates under automatic control — it can start at any time and crush, cut, entangle, or pinch body parts. Always keep clear of positions on the machine where unexpected or unintended machine motion could cause harm. Before operating this machine in any way, you must verify that all operators know the location of the machine's Emergency Stop button.
WARNING! Ejection Hazard. Fixtures, tooling, workpieces, or other loose items can become dangerous projectiles and can cause death or serious injury. Before operating this machine in any way, you must verify that you have appropriately secured all components.
WARNING! Fire Hazard. The machine and its enclosure are not designed to contain fire or explosions. Only use materials and coolants that are intended for the specific machining operation. Never use flammable or explosive items.Before operating the machine in any way, you must read all Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for any workpiece materials, coatings, coolants, lubricants, and other consumables used.
WARNING! Inhalation Hazard. The machine and its enclosure do not protect you from airborne particulates. Chips, dust, and vapors from certain materials can be toxic or otherwise harmful. Before operating the machine in any way, you must read all Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for any workpiece materials, coatings, coolants, lubricants, and other consumables used.
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes. Prevent injury by always wearing protective safety eyewear. Before operating this machine in any way, you must verify that your eyewear is impact-resistant and rated for ANSI 787+.

Electrical Safety
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard: You must power off the machine before making any electrical connections. If you don't, there's a risk of electrocution or shock.
Power off the machine before servicing.
Use an approved lockout/tagout system to secure the machine's Main Disconnect in the OFF position before servicing the machine.
Understand that certain electrical components can retain dangerous electrical voltages, even after the machine is powered off and all power is removed from the system.
Understand that certain installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting procedures — for the machine and certain accessories — require access to or modification of wiring inside of the electrical cabinet. Only qualified electrical machinery technicians shall perform these procedures.
Confirm that the mains voltage conforms to requirements before connecting the machine.
