Safety Features Overview.
The following safety features are standard on your Microrouter CNC

• Option on control software to check CNC programs using
toolpath graphics, prior to machining.
• Automatic tool retraction & spindle stop for tool changing.
Safety Precautions.
Safety is very important when working with all forms of machinery
but particularly when working with CNC equipment, due to the
hazardous voltages, speeds and forces that exist in the hardware.
Follow the rules below at all times, when using your Microrouter
CNC machine.
General Safety Precautions :
• Wear clothing suitable for machine operation and follow the safe
working procedures in place at your establishment.
• Do not place any objects so that they interfere with the guards or
the operation of the machine.
• Never try to clean the machine if any part of it is rotating or in
motion.
• Always secure the work on the table or in a fixture or vice.
• Ensure that the correct cable for the power source is used.
• Ensure the mains power is switched off (and preferably
unplugged) before starting any maintenance work on the
machine. Post a notice informing others not to use the machine
since it is undergoing maintenance.
• Hazardous voltages can still exist immediately after switching the
machine off. Always wait at least 5 minutes before accessing the
electrical control panels.
• If power fails turn off the mains power switch immediately and
unplug the machine from the mains power socket.
• Lubricate the required machine areas at the intervals specified in
this manual, to prevent the axes from seizing (see the
Maintenance section for further details).
• Observe caution when adding or removing machine tooling.
• When an emergency stop is required, press the circular red
emergency stop button, located on the right front panel of the
machine.
