Always wait for all motion to stop before raising the safety shield, opening the enclosure’s access door or window, or reaching inside the machines work area in any other way.
To lower the shield, tilt the shield toward the front of the machine.
To raise the shield, tilt the shield upright. Be sure nothing prevents the bottom edge of the shield from contacting the machine table.
Fully-enclosed machines feature an access door to protect the operator from flying chips. An safety interlock switch prevents the machine from operating with the door open.
