1.1 Overview
This chapter provides proven
eneral safety
uidelines that, if followed,
promote a safer workin
environment. It also contains safety information
specific to the V55.
All machinin
centers have inherent hazards the manufacturer either
desi
ns out,

h the manufac-
turer has this responsibility, the machine user has ultimate responsibility
to ensure that a safe workin
environment is maintained in and about the
machinin
center. This includes, but is not limited to, allowin
only prop-
erly trained and technically qualified personnel to pro
ram, operate and
maintain the machinin
center.
It is Makino’s policy and responsibility to desi
n, manufacture, and market
machinin
centers that are as reasonably safe as possible for their
intended use.
