placing hands on the tabletop during the cutting sequence; and observance of proper lock-out procedures when

completing any maintenance or other work on the machine.

(n) The essential characteristics of the tools are sharp points and sides, blunt edges, dense material, and heavy

components.

(o) The conditions that allow the machine to meet the requirement of safety during use, transportation, assembly,

and dismantling when out of service, testing, or foreseeable breakdowns are the solid base on which the machine

is built, the covers over moving parts, the packaging for shipment, the possible requirement of a crane or forklift

to move such pieces as the gantry, the lock-out procedure if followed correctly, optional safety mat and light

curtain devices that will halt the motion of the machine, and the automatic stop of all forward motion in the event

of a fault.

(p) The instructions for ensuring safe transport, handling, and storage operations include the customer hiring a

rigger to facilitate moving the machine; the use of a forklift or crane to move the machine from the delivery van

or truck to the final location; a complete inspection of packaged parts to be completed by the installation

technician and the customer; information regarding any shipping damages reported immediately to the carrier;

insertion of leveling feet so that the machine is at the lowest level possible; and secure anchoring of the machine

components to the floor with adequate space for ventilation.

(q) The operating method to be followed if the machine is involved in an accident or breakdown includes the

operator or installation technician securing the work area so that the installation technician may determine the

cause of the malfunction and troubleshoot a possible workable solution. If a blockage is likely to occur, then the

operator or installation technician will halt any forward motion until it is determined that the blockage can be

prevented.

(r) The adjustment and maintenance information, as well as the preventive maintenance measures to be observed

are as follows:

Safety glasses and hearing protection should be worn at all times while operating the machine, and long hair

should be restrained with a cap or net when near the machines. Operators should never leave the machine

unattended during the cutting sequence, and labels should be observed at all times.

All machines should be kept clean when not in use. The build-up of chips and dust on the system should be

cleared daily with special attention focused on the gear rack and bearing rails.

All of the bearings should be greased at least twice a month based on an 8-hour work day. The bearings

should be greased more often if the machine is in use more than 8 hours a day.

The Lead Screw Z-axis should be lubricated with a non-aerosol, silicon-based lubricant. Operators are

cautioned against using the lithium grease provided by MultiCam when lubricating Lead Screws as this

may lead to premature wear of the Lead Screw. Ball Screws, however, can be lubricated with lithium grease.

The filters on the electronics enclosure and vacuum pump should also be cleaned.

(s) The instruction designed to enable safely completed adjustment and maintenance, as well as the protective

measures to be taken, is as follows:

The MultiCam CNC machine will provide years of productive service if it is maintained properly. There are

daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly maintenance steps required for each machine based on a 40-hour

work week. MultiCam recommends that any system used in excess of 40 hours a week should have the

maintenance schedule adjusted accordingly.

Daily

The MultiCam CNC machine should be cleaned off each day, and the water lines should be inspected. All

chips should be blown or vacuumed off the machine. Close attention should be paid to the rack area since

chip build-up in the rack can cause stalling problems. Customers who operate systems with a Lead Screw Z-

axis should lubricate the screw with a non-aerosol, silicon-based lubricant. Operators should not use WD-40

on the Z-axis screw for lubrication. Using anything other than what is recommended will result in the

premature wear of the Z-axis screw. With Ball Screw systems, oil or lithium grease is an acceptable lubricant.

Weekly

The MultiCam CNC machine should be cleaned thoroughly each week. The filter on the control box should

be vacuumed. Any build-up in the racks or rails should be blown out. The filter or filters on the vacuum hold-

down systems should be removed and cleaned. All oil levels (if applicable) in the vacuum hold-down system

should be checked and filled if needed. On MG Series routing systems, the Y-axis Ball Screw should also be

lubricated with oil or lithium grease. MT Series routing systems will need to follow this procedure for the X-

axis Ball Screw as well.

Some older routing systems use a Lead Screw on the X- and Y-axes. These systems should be lubricated with

a non-aerosol, silicon-based lubricant. Using anything other than what is recommended may lead to premature

wear of the Lead Screw.

Bi-Monthly

Operators should grease all the linear bearing cars at least twice a month for the MultiCam CNC machine.

Jogging the machine while applying slight pressure in the opposite direction will help force the grease into the

bearing cars and incorporate the grease throughout all of the bearings.

Monthly

The racks, Y- and Z-axes screws, and X-axis screws on the MT Series routing system should be cleaned with

a scrub brush and degreaser once a month following the same lubrication procedure described earlier in

addition to the daily and weekly cleaning for all MultiCam CNC machines. Once the racks are clean,

operators should apply a bead of the lithium-based grease.

Quarterly

The X- and Y-axes covers should be removed from the MultiCam CNC machine every three months so that

operators can inspect the transmission or gearboxes for wear. Operators can engage the pinion all the way into

the rack by loosening the mounting bolts of the transmission or gearbox and pushing the assembly up. The

tabletop bolts should be checked to ensure they are all tight. Filters in the electrical cabinet should be cleaned.

Bi-Annually

The electrical cabinet should be checked during the bi-annual maintenance performed on the MultiCam

CNC machine. Operators should turn off the power before opening the cabinet and then vacuum out any

debris that may have entered the cabinet during regular working conditions. Operators should not use

compressed air when cleaning out the cabinet as this action may cause unwanted particles to short out some of

the electrical components.

MultiCam recommends that the belts on all transmissions and Lead Screw Z-nuts be replaced every other

year.

(t) The specifications of spare parts to be used that may affect the health and safety of operators are attached.

(u) The information on airborne noise emissions is attached.

(v) The machinery is likely to emit non-ionizing radiation that may cause harm to persons, in particular persons

with active or non-active implantable medical devices, in these places. The information regarding the radiation

emitted for the operator and exposed persons is attached.
