Safety measures and rules of behavior
When working with HST-Synchro e. g. initial operation, operation or maintenance, you
have to observe the advice given in this instruction manual.
All safety measures and on-site regulations have to be respected when working with
HST-Synchro. Please pay attention to the safety notes on the machine or other tools in
use. Never leave the machine door open during operation.
Adequate clothing
The rotating spindle of a machine tool can seize loose clothing or long hair. During operation
of a machine tool, please wear close-fitting clothes. Do not wear jewelry nor a tie nor gloves or
similar. Tie back long hair or wear a hairnet.
Eye protection
Please always wear safety goggles with side protection in order to protect your eyes from
flying parts.
Correct workpiece clamping
Never hold the workpiece or the clamp of the workpiece by hand. The workpiece has to be
fixed on the machine table in a way that it cannot be moved nor turned nor lifted.
Please note!
Be particularly vigilant when you stand close to the machining zone. The machining zone
includes the machining spot as well as all transmission elements including the tap holder.
Keep out of the machining zone as long as the spindle is rotating. Always be aware of
potential dangers of a machining operation. Working on a machine often seems to be simple
routine and you do not realize the lapse in concentration during work. This deceiving feeling
of security can result in severe injuries.
