Legal information
Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be
used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property
damage.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. Qualified
personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and avoiding
potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

Operating Manual, 05/2017, A5E40868956 5

Target group
This documentation is intended for users of milling machines running the SINUMERIK Operate
software.
Benefits
The operating manual helps users familiarize themselves with the control elements and
commands. Guided by the manual, users are capable of responding to problems and taking
corrective action.
Standard scope
This documentation describes the functionality of the standard scope. Extensions or changes
made by the machine manufacturer are documented by the machine manufacturer.
Other functions not described in this documentation might be executable in the control.
However, no claim can be made regarding the availability of these functions when the
equipment is first supplied or in the event of servicing.
Furthermore, for the sake of clarity, this documentation does not contain all detailed information
about all types of the product and cannot cover every conceivable case of installation, operation
or maintenance.
Terms
The meanings of some basic terms used in this documentation are given below.
Program
A program is a sequence of instructions to the CNC which combine to produce a specific
workpiece on the machine.
Contour
The term contour refers generally to the outline of a workpiece. More specifically, it refers to
the section of the program that defines the outline of a workpiece comprising individual
elements.
Cycle
A cycle, e.g. milling a rectangular pocket, is a subprogram defined in SINUMERIK Operate for
executing a frequently repeated machining operation.
Technical Support
Country-specific telephone numbers for technical support are provided in the Internet at the
following address (https://support.industry.siemens.com/sc/ww/en/sc/2090) in the "Contact"
area.
