  • Page 3: General Notes

    General Notes This manual serves to familiarize you with your Onefinity CNC machine and provide all neces- sary information required to operate the machine safely and professionally. This manual is applicable for the Onefinity Elite Foreman, Journeyman and Woodworker hereafter referred to as Onefinity or Onefinity Elite.

  • Page 4: Safety Rules

    Safety Rules General Instructions: These operating instructions explain the Onefinity and the correct handling of the CNC sys- tem. Please read these operating instructions and accompanying documents in their entirety before commissioning of the system in order to become familiar with the characteristics and the operation of the product.
  • Page 5 Protective Measures: The Onefinity has been constructed for advanced users and is only to be operated by techni- cally skilled persons above the age of 16. The CNC gantry milling system as well as associated tools, small parts and electrical components are to be stored outside the reach of children.
  • Page 6 Safety Rules Use of the Power Tool: Caution: Do not alter or misuse the tool. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in serious personal injury. Caution: Disconnect the plug from the power source before you make any adjust- ments, change accessories, or store the tool.
  • Page 7 Safety Rules Care of the Power Tool: NOTICE: Maintain the tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other conditions that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
  • Page 8 Safety Rules Emergency Stop Switch : The emergency stop is located on the top of the Controller housing. In order to be able to inter- vene at all times, the emergency stop has to be positioned in a suitable place. The controller must be located so it can be reached from any possible operator position.
  • Page 9 Workspace: The workspace needs to provide enough space around the Onefinity CNC for the machine to work comfortably and to be able to fully use its traveling paths. Additionally, a safe distance to possibly nearby positioned machines is to be maintained. The location of the machine as well as the workplace surrounding the machine has to be sufficiently illuminated.
