READ BEFORE OPERATING THIS MACHINE: Only authorized personnel should work on this machine. Untrained personnel
present a hazard to themselves and the machine, and improper operation will void the warranty.
Check for damaged parts and tools before operating the machine. Any part or tool that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by authorized personnel. Do not operate the machine if any component does not appear to be functioning correctly. Contact your shop supervisor.
Use appropriate eye and ear protection while operating the machine. ANSI-ap- proved impact safety goggles and OSHA-approved ear protection are recom- mended to reduce the risks of sight damage and hearing loss.
Do not operate the machine unless the doors are closed and the door inter- locks are functioning properly. Rotating cutting tools can cause severe injury. When a program is running, the mill table and spindle head can move rapidly at any time in any direction.
The Emergency Stop button is the large, circular red switch located on the Control Panel. Pressing the Emergency Stop button will instantly stop all mo- tion of the machine, the servo motors, the tool changer, and the coolant pump. Use the Emergency Stop button only in emergencies to avoid crashing the machine.
The electrical panel should be closed and the key and latches on the control cabinet should be secured at all times except during installation and service. At those times, only qualified electricians should have access to the panel. When the main circuit breaker is on, there is high voltage throughout the electrical panel (including the circuit boards and logic circuits) and some components op- erate at high temperatures. Therefore, extreme caution is required. Once the machine is installed, the control cabinet must be locked and the key available only to qualified service personnel.
DO NOT modify or alter this equipment in any way. If modifications are neces- sary, all such requests must be handled by Haas Automation, Inc. Any modifi- cation or alteration of any Haas Milling or Turning Center could lead to personal injury and/or mechanical damage and will void your warranty.
Consult your local safety codes and regulations before operating the machine. Contact your dealer anytime safety issues need to be addressed.
It is the shop owners responsibility to make sure that everyone who is involved in installing and operating the machine is thoroughly acquainted with the instal- lation, operation, and safety instructions provided with the machine BEFORE they perform any actual work. The ultimate responsibility for safety rests with the shop owner and the individuals who work with the machine.
396-8000 Rev AF October 2010

This machine is automatically controlled and may start at any time.
This machine can cause severe bodily injury. Do not operate with the doors open. Avoid entering the machine enclosure. Do not operate without proper training. Always wear safety goggles. Never place your hand on the tool in the spindle and press ATC FWD, ATC REV, NEXT TOOL, or cause a tool change cycle. The tool changer will move in and crush your hand. To avoid tool changer damage, ensure that tools are properly aligned with the spindle drive lugs when loading tools. The electrical power must meet the specifications in this manual. At- tempting to run the machine from any other source can cause severe damage and will void the warranty. Do not press POWER UP/RESTART on the control panel until after the installation is complete. Do not attempt to operate the machine before all of the installation in- structions have been completed. Never service the machine with the power connected. Improperly clamped parts machined at high speeds/feeds may be ejected and puncture the safety door. Machining oversized or marginally clamped parts is not safe. Windows must be replaced if damaged or severely scratched - Replace damaged windows immediately. Do not process toxic or flammable material. Deadly fumes can be pres- ent. Consult material manufacturer for safe handling of material by-prod- ucts before processing. The spindle head can drop without notice. Personnel must avoid the area directly under the spindle head. Do not reset a circuit breaker until the reason for the fault is investigated. Only Haas-trained service personnel should troubleshoot and repair the equipment. Follow these guidelines while performing jobs on the machine: Normal operation - Keep the door closed and guards in place while machine is operating.
Part loading and unloading An operator opens the door or guard, completes task, closes door or guard before pressing cycle start (starting automatic mo- tion).
4 96-8000 Rev AF October 2010
Tool loading or unloading A machinist enters the machining area to load or unload tools. Exit the area completely before automatic movement is com- manded (for example, next tool, ATC/Turret FWD/REV).
Machining job set-up Press emergency stop before adding or removing ma- chine fixtures.
Maintenance / Machine Cleaner Press emergency stop or power off the ma- chine before entering enclosure.
Do not enter the machining area anytime the machine is in motion; severe injury or death may result.
Unattended Operation Fully enclosed Haas CNC machines are designed to operate unattended; how- ever, your machining process may not be safe to operate unmonitored.
As it is the shop owners responsibility to set up the machines safely and use best practice machining techniques, it is also their responsibility to manage the progress of these methods. The machining process must be monitored to prevent damage if a hazardous condition occurs.
For example, if there is the risk of fire due to the material machined, then an appropriate fire suppression system must be installed to reduce the risk of harm to personnel, equipment and the building. A suitable specialist must be contacted to install monitoring tools before machines are allowed to run unat- tended.
It is especially important to select monitoring equipment that can immediately perform an appropriate action without human intervention to prevent an acci- dent, should a problem be detected
Run/Setup Key This key switch is installed on European machines. This key switch selects between two modes, Run and Setup.
Run mode: All buttons on the control pendant are ignored except Cycle Start, Feed Hold, and E-stop. The message, Run Mode: Button press ignored will be displayed whenever a button is ignored.
In Setup mode, all buttons on the control pendant work as expected. This mode is only used by trained personnel.

Messages
Basic Control Screen Layout
Example Inactive Pane
Example Active Pane
Interaction with data can be carried out only within the currently active pane. Only one pane is active at any given time, and it is indicated with a white back- ground. For example, to work with the Tool Offsets table, first make the table active by pressing the Offset key until it displays with a white background. Then make changes to the data. Changing the active pane within a control mode is typically done with the display keys.
Control functions are organized into three modes: Setup, Edit, and Operation. Each mode provides all of the necessary information to perform tasks that fall under the mode, organized to fit in one screen. For example, Setup mode dis- plays both the work and tool offset tables, and position information. Edit mode provides two program editing panes and access to the VQCP and IPS/WIPS systems (if installed).
Access modes using the mode keys as follows:
Setup: ZERO RET, HAND JOG keys. Provides all control features for machine setup.
Edit: EDIT, MDI/DNC, LIST PROG keys. Provides all program editing, man- agement, and transfer functions.

Part Zero Set - Used to record work coordinate offsets during part setup (see Setting Offsets in the Operation section).
JOG KEYS
Chip FWD (Chip Auger Forward) - Starts optional chip auger in the Forward direction, moving chips out of the machine.
Chip Stop (Chip Auger Stop) - Stops auger movement.
Chip REV (Chip Auger Reverse) - Starts the optional chip auger in the Re- verse direction, which is useful in clearing jams and debris from the auger.
X/-X, Y/-Y, Z/-Z, A/-A and B/-B (axis keys)- Allows manually jogging of axis by holding down the individual button or by pressing the desired axis button and using the jog handle.
Jog Lock - Works with the axes buttons. Press jog lock and then an axis but- ton and the axis will move to maximum travel or until jog lock is pressed again.
CLNT Up (Coolant Up) - Moves the optional Programmable Coolant (P-Cool) nozzle up.
CLNT Down (Coolant Down) - Moves the optional P-Cool nozzle down.
AUX CLNT (Auxiliary Coolant) - Pressing this key while in MDI mode only will turn on the optional Through the Spindle Coolant (TSC) system; pressing it a second time will turn off TSC.
OVERRIDE KEYS
These keys give the user the ability to override the speed of non-cutting (rapid) axes motion, programmed feeds and spindle speeds.
-10 - Decreases current feedrate by 10%.
100% - Sets overridden feedrate to programmed feedrate.
+10 - Increases current feedrate by 10%.

-10 - Decreases current spindle speed by 10%.
100% - Sets overridden spindle speed to programmed speed.
+10 - Increases current spindle speed by 10%.
Hand Cntrl Feed (Handle Control Feedrate) - Pressing this button allows the jog handle to be used to control the feedrate in 1% increments.
Hand Cntrl Spin (Handle Control Spindle) - Pressing this button allows the jog handle to be used to control spindle speed in 1% increments.
CW - Starts the spindle in the clockwise direction. This button is disabled on CE (export) machines.
CCW - Starts the spindle in the counterclockwise direction. This button is dis- abled on CE (export) machines.
The spindle can be started or stopped with the CW or CCW buttons any time the machine is at a Single Block stop or the Feed Hold button has been pressed. When the program is restarted with Cycle Start, the spindle will be turned back on to the previously defined speed.
STOP - Stops the spindle.
5% / 25% / 50% / 100% Rapid - Limits machine rapids to the value on the key. The 100% Rapid button allows maximum rapid.
Override Usage The feedrate can be varied from 0% to 999% of the programmed value while in operation. This is done with the feedrate +10%, -10% and 100% buttons. The feedrate override is ineffective during G74 and G84 tapping cycles. Feedrate override does not change the speed of any auxiliary axes. During manual jog- ging, the feedrate override will adjust the rates selected from the keypad. This allows for fine control of the jog speed.
The spindle speed can also be varied, from 0% to 999%, using the spindle overrides. It is also ineffective for G74 and G84. In the Single Block mode, the spindle may be stopped. It will automatically start up upon continuing the pro- gram (pressing Cycle Start).
By pressing the Handle Control Feedrate key, the jog handle can be used to control feedrate from 0% to 999% in 1% increments. By pressing the Handle Control Spindle key, the jog handle can be used to control spindle speed in 1% increments (from 0% to 999%).
Rapid moves (G00) may be limited to 5%, 25%, or 50% of maximum using the keypad. If the 100% rapid is too fast, it may be set to 50% of maximum by Set- ting 10.
In the Settings page, it is possible to disable the override keys so that the op- erator cannot use them. These are Settings 19, 20 and 21.

The Feed Hold button acts as an override, stopping rapid and feed moves when it is pressed. The Cycle Start button must be pressed to proceed after a Feed Hold. The door switch on the enclosure also has a similar result but will display Door Hold when the door is opened. When the door is closed, the control will be in Feed Hold and Cycle Start must be pressed to continue. Door Hold and Feed Hold do not stop any auxiliary axes.
The operator can override the coolant setting by pressing the COOLNT button. The pump will remain either on or off until the next M-code or operator action (see Setting 32).
Overrides can be reset to defaults with an M06, M30 and/or pressing RESET (See Settings 83, 87, 88).
DISPLAY KEYS
Display keys provide access to the machine displays, operational information and help pages. They are often used to switch active panes within a function mode. Some of these keys will display additional screens when pressed more than once.
Prgrm/Convrs - Selects the active program pane in most modes. In MDI/DNC mode, press to access VQC and IPS/WIPS (if installed).
Posit (Position) - Selects the positions pane, located in the lower center of most screens. Displays the current axis positions. Toggle between relative posi- tions by pressing the POSIT key. To filter the axes displayed in the pane, type the letter for each axis to display and press WRITE/ENTER. Each axis position is displayed in the order indicated.
Offset - Press to toggle between two offsets tables. Select the Tool Offsets table to display and edit tool length
