AIR TURBINE SPINDLE. 

Please  be  sure  to  read  this  manual  before  using  the  product  and  also  keep  it  in  a 

location where all the operators may consult it in case of necessity.

Danger

Since  the  Air  Turbine  Spindle  rotates  at  very  high  speed,  if  the  cutting  tool  breaks  during  the 

process  its  fragments,  scattering,  will  cause  an  extremely  dangerous  situation.    During  the 

process, utilize a safety cover, etc. in case that fragments scatter out and please also take enough 

safety measures for protect yourself.  In addition, please always wear protective eyeglasses.

Do not rotate the machine spindle when the Air Turbine Spindle is installed on the machine.  

 (In case of utilizing the manual type, the machine spindle, by turning, may twist the air tube and      

  cause severe accidents.)

 A low speed rotation for few seconds to orientate the side through type is not a problem.

Caution

Do not use it on machines that have previously used coolants, oil mists, etc. 

 (Foreign bodies invading the holder may reduce its lifespan or cause breakages.)

In case of using BBT, BCV and BDV shanks, please use pull-stud bolts provided with holes 

(sold apart)

.

Caution

Please reduce the ATC speed. 

 (The impact with the ATC may damage the cutting tool in case of using tools with small diameter.)

Warning

Do not touch the cutting tool or the chuck part while the spindle is rotating.

Do not touch the holder rotating part immediately after have stopped the air supply.   

(The holder rotating part will rotate by inertia even after have stopped the air supply.  Please check   

  that the rotating part is not moving in case of touching it.)

Please also respect the below notes in case of using the center through type (RBX5C, RBX7C).
