Page 3 Introduction This manual is referred to when using the EZMotion-NC E60/E68. This manual explains how to operate, run and set up this NC unit. Read this manual thoroughly before using the NC unit. To safely use this NC unit, thoroughly study the "Precautions for Safety"...
Page 4 Precautions for Safety Always read the specifications issued by the machine maker, this manual, related manuals and attached documents before installation, operation, programming, maintenance or inspection to ensure correct use. Understand this numerical controller, safety items and cautions before using the unit. This manual ranks the safety precautions into "DANGER", "WARNING"...
Page 5 CAUTION 2. Items related to installation and assembly Ground the signal cables to ensure stable system operation. Also ground the NC unit main frame, power distribution panel and machine to one point, so they all have the same potential. If the control unit's rotary switch is set to "7", all data in the NC will be erased and the system will not start up.
Page 6 CAUTION 6. Items related to operation Stay out of the moveable range of the machine during automatic operation. During rotation, keep hands, feet and face away from the spindle. Carry out dry operation before actually machining, and confirm the machining program, tool offset and workpiece coordinate system offset.
