(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
Routers * Lasers * Plasma * WaterJets * Knife Cutters

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.

Customer Responsibilities for Safety
As the user of the MultiCam machine, each customer must follow all safety procedures that are clearly outlined
when operating each machine and its parts. Failure to do so may result in damage to property or personnel and
could even result in death. These machines are powerful and should always be treated with care.
While an excellent cutting tool in this industry, the laser introduces unique hazards to the work area. The focused
beam uses a higher power density to mark, cut, and weld materials within a defined area and experiences a decline
in hazardous conditions as the beam pattern expands. The collimated beam either directly from the laser head or
diverted by a mirror without any focusing optics can cause serious damage to the eyes, skin, or flammable
materials within hundreds of feet from the source. ANSI, state regulations, and OSHA offer companies guidelines
to ensure safe cutting and improved operations.
The Class IV Laser offered by MultiCam has specific requirements that are stipulated by each State Attorney
General and the Federal government. Members are strongly encouraged to review the information and follow the
stipulations for laser operation and maintenance. Control measures for any installation of a Class IV laser must be
implemented to be in compliance, such as completed training and medical testing of operators, controlled access
areas in place for trained personnel only, enclosed beam paths where feasible, posted warning signs, protective
eyewear and clothing, protective barriers, establishment of standard operating procedures (SOP), a trained Laser
Safety Officer (LSO) to evaluate potential hazards and ensure proper adherence to control measures, and other
requirements as set forth in ANSI, state regulations, and OSHA documents. Any facility with a Class I Laser is
exempt from following these requirements unless a Class IV energy source can be accessed during standard
maintenance or service.
Members may refer to ANSI Z136.1 Standard for Safe Use of Lasers to review the laser hazard evaluations, limits
for maximum permissible exposures (MPE), company-wide control measures, LSO requirements, and outlines for
training and medical surveillance programs. Members may also locate their respective State Attorney General at
www.naag.org/ag/full_ag_table.php to determine the regulations for operating the laser in their state. The state
regulations are primarily based on the ANSI Z136.1 laser safety standard. All members should access the FDA
site www.accessdata.fda.gov and then select Search, enter “Part 1040 Performance Standards for Light-emitting
Products,” and click on Performance Standards for Light-emitting Products to review the Federal requirements
for the laser. While OSHA has no specific documents regarding laser safety requirements, any OSHA inspector
visiting a facility that uses a laser will follow OSHA Instruction PUB 8-1.7 Guidelines for Laser Safety and
Hazard Assessment, which is based on the ANSI Z136.1 laser safety standard. The company LSO may contact the
MultiCam LSO with any questions.
Customers should make plans for safeguarding themselves and their work areas at the point of operation as all
MultiCam machines have been designed and constructed to operate under specific parameters relating to the
particular application. As a result, ANSI B-11 Safety Standards states that “It shall be the responsibility of the
end-user (buyer) to provide, and ensure the use of a guard, guarding device, awareness barrier, awareness device
or shield...” in order to maintain the required level of protection. Additional requirements may be in place per the
State Attorney General’s office and must be followed to be in compliance with OSHA standards.
MultiCam has available certain safety shields and guards applicable to our machines. Please contact our office
for styles, types, and prices.

Personal Safety Precautions
All customers should become familiar with all aspects of their machines.
Any person who operates or does any maintenance on this equipment should be aware that safety procedures are
an important part of the daily job. Customers and related personnel should work with the LSO to learn how the
equipment functions and be able to respect the capabilities of the machinery. Anyone working on or around the
equipment should understand the potential losses associated with mishandling the machinery and its parts and be
able and willing to follow all safety precautions. Sudden movement, loud noises, horseplay, etc. must be avoided,
as such distractions may result in unsafe conditions.
Accidents can occur if clothing or other articles become entangled in the laser head or other moving parts of the
machines. The following suggestions, if followed, will reduce the chance of having these types of accidents:
1. Wear approved eye and hearing protection at all times when operating the laser. Safety eye wear must
be correctly rated for the laser to ensure safety compliance. Customers will receive at least 1 set of
appropriate eye wear and may purchase any additional sets of eye wear for personnel who will be
involved simultaneously with the laser.
2. Restrain long hair with a cap or net when near the machines.
3. Avoid wearing neckties and scarves during machine operation.
4. Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing during machine operation.
5. Avoid wearing hanging jewelry during machine operation.
6. Wear only cloth or lint-free gloves when working on electrical parts.
7. Avoid operating this and any other equipment if affected by alcohol, drugs, or any other substance or
condition that may decrease judgment or alertness.
8. Observe and follow all safety signs on the machine and in the surrounding areas.
9. Avoid placing hands on the tabletop when the laser is turned on.
10. Avoid leaning or placing anything on the bellows during laser operation or at-rest as this may damage the
machine and affect the laser beam.
11. Lock out the incoming power supply when any type of maintenance or other work is being performed on
the machine.
Work Area Safety
Fire extinguishers should always be readily accessible, and operators should always familiarize themselves with
the fire prevention recommendations for each component of the CNC system. It is important to always keep the
work area clean and uncluttered. Oil, debris, or water on the floor can cause unsafe conditions. Customers
should be sure that all work areas are free of hazardous obstructions and that all tools and other equipment are
returned to their proper storage place when not in use. When working with oxygen, operators should refer to the
Safety Measures for Handling Oxygen. Operators should never leave a laser unattended during the cutting
sequence.
Installation Safety
An electrician must read and understand the electrical schematics prior to connecting the machine to the local
power system. Connecting the wrong voltage power will void the warranty. All switches should be turned to the
OFF position before power is connected. The main disconnect switch should always be locked in the OFF
position if the machine is left unattended. When the machine is installed, the electrician or Operator should be
sure that all motors rotate in the correct direction. Introduction

Precautions When Handling the Electrical Components of a Laser
Company LSOs and MultiCam LSOs may have cause to handle the electrical components of a laser during
everyday use or maintenance. All personnel involved in the operations or maintenance of a laser or other machine
should wear cloth or lint-free gloves when working on electrical parts and observe the following activities:
1. Treat all electrical equipment as if it were active.
2. Complete any work on the laser in pairs so that the buddy system is in place. Both operators should be
knowledgeable in first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
3. Remove any rings, watches, pens, pencils, or rulers before working with any type of electrical equipment.
4. Use only tools with insulated handles whenever working with electrical equipment.
5. Report any electrical equipment that gives even the slightest indication of current.
6. Assume that the floor under high voltage systems is conductive and grounded unless standing on a suitably
insulated dry matting that is approved for electrical use.
7. Avoid standing in wet areas when working on active electrical equipment. Operators should take all
precautions toward preventing excessive moisture or perspiration on the hands, feet, or body.
8. Decline from working on hazardous systems or completing hazardous activities if fatigued. Operators who are
under the influence of medication that slows response time should not be allowed to work on electrical
equipment, nor should operators who are emotionally or chemically conducive toward taking life-threatening
risks with any electrical equipment. Introduction

Safety Measures for Handling Oxygen
Oxygen can be an effective gas for cutting sequences, but special care should be used when working with oxygen
or any other pressurized gas. Operators should observe the following precautions at all times when working with
oxygen:
•Refer to oxygen as “oxygen” and not as “air.” Operators should use oxygen cylinders for cutting
sequences only. At no point should operators substitute oxygen for compressed air in pneumatic tools or
use oxygen to dust off clothing or materials, purge tanks, blow out pipe lines, or test radiators.
•Store oxygen upright in storage areas that are no closer than 20’ (6.1m) away from highly combustible
material (e.g., oil, grease). Operators could instead use a 5’ (1.5m) tall gas-tight, non-combustible
partition with no openings and with a fire resistance rating of at least 1 hour to provide the required
separation.
•Handle oxygen cylinders with great care when in use or in transit. The cylinders should not be dropped,
knocked over, or struck with heavy objects.
•Contact the cylinder manufacturer if repairs are needed on the oxygen cylinder valves. At no point should
an operator use a hammer or wrench to open the valves.
Like all pressurized gases used in cutting, oxygen requires that operators approach and handle the cylinders with
great care. When operators use oxygen in the cutting sequence, they should follow these steps:
1. Stand to the side before opening each oxygen cylinder valve and blow out debris from the nozzle.
Operators should use a clean cloth to swab the connection seat.
2. Attach the pressure regulators after the cylinder valve has been cleaned out. Pressure regulators reduce
cylinder pressure to low; high cylinder pressure will cause the hose to burst.
3. Check that the regulator tension screw is released and then open the oxygen cylinder valve slowly. This
will prevent damage to the regulator high pressure gauge.
4. Open the valve fully when using oxygen in the cutting sequence to prevent any leakage around the valve
stem.
5. Close the cylinder valve and reapply the protecting caps when not using oxygen in the cutting sequence.
For additional information regarding the handling and use of oxygen, operators should consult the Oxygen
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
