CAUTION: Only authorized and trained personnel may operate this equipment. You must always act in accordance with the Operator's manual, safety decals, safety procedures and instructions for safe machine operation. Untrained personnel present a hazard to themselves and the machine.
IMPORTANT: Read and understand all warnings, cautions, and instructions before operating this machine.
All milling machines present hazards from rotating cutting tools, belts and pulleys, high voltage electricity, noise, and compressed air. When you use CNC machines and their components, you must always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of personal injury and mechanical damage.
1.1.1 Read Before Operating
DANGER: Do not enter the machining area any time the machine is in motion. Severe injury or death may result.
Basic safety:
• Consult your local safety codes and regulations before operating the machine. Contact your dealer any time safety issues need to be addressed. • It is the shop owner’s responsibility to make sure that everyone who is involved in installing and operating the machine is thoroughly acquainted with the operation and safety instructions provided with the machine BEFORE they perform any actual work. The ultimate responsibility for safety rests with the shop owner and the individuals who work with the machine. • 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. • This machine is automatically controlled and may start at any time. • This machine can cause severe bodily injury.

Read Before Operating
• Replace damaged windows immediately if they are damaged or severely scratched.
Keep the side windows locked during operation of the machine (if available). • As sold, your machine is not equipped to process toxic or flammable material; this can create deadly fumes or suspended particles in the air. Consult with the material manufacturer for safe handling of material by-products, and implement all precautions before you work with such materials.
Electrical safety:
• The electrical power must meet the required specifications. Attempting to run the machine from any other source can cause severe damage and will void the warranty. • The electrical panel should be closed and the key and latches on the control cabinet should be 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, with the key available only to qualified service personnel. • Do not reset a circuit breaker until the reason for the fault is investigated and understood. Only Haas-trained service personnel should troubleshoot and repair the equipment. • Never service the machine with the power connected. • Do not press [POWER UP/RESTART] on the control pendant before the machine is fully installed.
Operation Safety:
• 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 runs, the mill table and spindle head can move rapidly at any time, and in any direction. • [EMERGENCY STOP] is the large, circular red button located on the control pendant. Some machines may also have buttons in other locations. When you press [EMERGENCY STOP], the axis motors, spindle motor, pumps, tool changer, and gear motors all stop. While [EMERGENCY STOP] is active, both automatic and manual motion is disabled. Use [EMERGENCY STOP] in case of emergency, and also to disable the machine for safety when you need to access motion areas. • Check for damaged parts and tools before operating the machine. Any part or tool that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by authorized personnel. Do not operate the machine if any component does not appear to be functioning correctly. • Keep your hands away from the tool in the spindle when you press [ATC FWD], [ATC REV], [NEXT TOOL], or cause a tool change cycle. The tool changer will move in and crush your hand. • The spindle head can drop without notice. You must avoid the area directly under the spindle head.

Safety 1 • To prevent tool changer damage, make sure that tools are properly aligned with the spindle drive lugs when you load tools.
DANGER: Improperly clamped parts or oversized parts may be ejected with
deadly force. The machine enclosure may not stop an ejected part.
Follow these guidelines while you work with the machine:
• Normal operation – Keep the door closed and guards in place while the machine operates. • Part loading and unloading – An operator opens the door or guard, completes a task, closes the door or guard, then presses [CYCLE START] (which starts automatic motion). • Tool loading and unloading – A machinist enters the machining area to load or unload tools. Exit the area completely before automatic movement is commanded (for example, [NEXT TOOL], [ATC FWD], [ATC REV]). • Machining job set-up – Press [EMERGENCY STOP] before adding or removing machine fixtures. • Maintenance / Machine Cleaner – Press [EMERGENCY STOP] or [POWER OFF] on the machine before entering enclosure.
