4. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•Do not handle the equipment without having knowledge of the safety instructions
and the instructions for use. Safety instructions for the bar feed system, as well as
the CNC lathe, must be strictly observed.
•Non-qualified personnel, children, and persons under the influence of alcohol or
medication should not handle the equipment.
•Loose garments, long hair and jewelry can be dangerous.
•Do not remove any covers while the bar feeder or the machine is under electrical
power.
•Do not conduct any maintenance operations during the automatic cycle.
•Do not grasp moving or rotating objects, or nearby elements.
•If certain safety shields or safety covers are removed to conduct maintenance,
they must be reinstalled as soon as the maintenance work is completed.
•No servicing should be carried out on the interface or inside the electrical cabinet
while the bar feeder or the lathe is under electrical power.
•It is strictly prohibited to jump wire or remove circuit breakers, main switches, and
especially safety switches.
•To avoid any harm to persons, or damage to components, use only the indicated
points for lifting and moving the bar feeder system. No one should be near the
hanging load, or within the operating range of the overhead hoist/crane, forklift, or
any other means used for lifting and transportation. Do not knock the bar feeder
while moving it as this could damage it.
•Do not move the bar feeder while it is electrically powered on.
•The work area surrounding the bar feed system should always be clear of objects
and well lit. The presence of oil on the ground could cause falls; it is important to
maintain the floor clean on a regular basis.

•Do not place the machine in a damp area and make sure that water or oil does not
come into contact with the electrical equipment.
•Do not open the clamping device (collet or chuck) of the lathe manually when the
bar feeder is in automatic mode (Interface).
•Each time the diameter is changed, also adapt spindle reduction tube. The use of
spindle reduction tubes is highly recommended for machining bars with diameters
smaller than the maximum capacity of the spindle.
•Do not attempt to recharge the batteries of the PLC.
•For the use and maintenance of the bar feeder, use only parts provided by or
recommended by LNS.
•If it is necessary to move the bar feeder once it has been originally installed, do
not reinstall it before first contacting LNS or its local representative.
•LNS disclaim all responsibility for possible accidents or property damage caused
when safety instructions are not followed.

5. SAFETY DEVICES
5.1 Description
The Hydrobar Sprint 555 bar feed system has been designed with a focus on
maximum safety during its handling and complies with all CE requirements.
Safety covers and devices make access to the moving parts of the bar feed system
impossible. Safety switches keep the bar feed system from operating when these
protections are open.
The design of the switches, as well as their insertion into the bar feed system, makes it
practically impossible to bypass them.
By pressing the emergency stop button located on the remote control, the functions of
the bar feed system and the lathe are immediately stopped.
The LNS company, or its local representative, may not be held
responsible for possible accidents or property damage, whether
caused directly or not, by any means whatsoever, if certain safety
devices have not been included.
