We analyzed two observations of the low-mass black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1348-630 from Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) during low hard state and hard intermediate state in the 2019 outburst. The reflection components are found in the X-ray spectra, and the spectral fittings give an inclination angle of $\sim 25^\circ-35^\circ$ for the binary system, and there is an absorption line around $\sim 7$ keV coming from highly ionized iron. The photoionization code XSTAR is used to fit the absorption line, which is attributed to outflows with a velocity of $\sim 10^{4}\rm km\ s^{-1}$ along our line of sight and the column density reaching $10^{23}\rm cm^{-2}$ in low hard and hard intermediate states. The physical mechanism launching fast disk winds from the black hole accretion system is still uncertain. These observations strongly support magnetic launching as the dominant mechanism which drives the high velocity, high ionization winds from the inner accretion disk region in hard and hard intermediate states of MAXI J1348-630.
