Notes on special dangers
Danger to persons (risk of injury) and damage to property can arise from the SHARK multigrip
clamping system if:
•
it is not used as intended;
•
it is installed or maintained improperly;
•
the safety and assembly instructions, the safety and accident prevention regulations valid at the
place of use and the EC Machinery Directive are not observed.
Use not in accordance with the intended purpose
The multi-range chuck must not be used for turning or milling. The precision grinding chuck is not
being used for its intended purpose, for example:
•
if tools are not properly clamped.
•
if, in disregard of the safety regulations, persons are working on the multigrip chuck without
additional protective devices, e.g. in order to machine clamped tools.
•
the technical data are exceeded when using the multigrip chuck.
•
the multigrip chuck is used for machines which are not intended for this purpose.
Intended use
The SHARK multi-range chuck is used for clamping tools with cylindrical shanks for tool grinding
on grinding machines.
•
The product may only be used within the scope of its technical data.
•
The product is intended for installation in a machine. The applicable guidelines must be
observed and complied with.
•
The product is intended for industrial use.
•
Intended use also includes compliance with all the information in these instructions.

CAUTION:
Risk of injury to the operating personnel in case of jaw breakage or loss of work-
piece due to flying parts!
•
When using the 5-jaw chuck, protective equipment must be used in accordance
with the EC Machinery Directive so that in the event of failure of the 5-jaw chuck
or a component of the chuck, parts flying away are caught by the protective equip-
ment.
•
The machine manufacturer must ensure sufficient wall thicknesses for his enclo-
sure/protective equipment (in compliance with the currently applicable regulati-
ons and standards).
CAUTION:
Risk of injury to the operating personnel in case of improper use and exceeding the
technical data due to failure of the 5-jaw chuck!
Improper use and exceeding the
technical data may cause failure of the 5-jaw chuck, resulting in danger to life and
limb of the operator and considerable damage to the equipment.
•
Observe the values of the technical data
•
Only use the 5-jaw chuck for its intended purpose.
•
Comply with the applicable safety standards and safety regulations.
CAUTION:
Risk of injury due to falling down of the multigange clamping system during trans-
port, mounting and dismounting. Protect the 5-jaw chuck from falling down during
transport and installation or dismantling.
CAUTION:
During manual loading and unloading, there is a risk of crushing limbs due to ope-
ning and closing of the clamping jaws.
Do not reach between the clamping jaws. For
hand-loaded machines, the tool feed must be carried out via a setting aid.
CAUTION:
Risk of injury during manual loading and unloading of the tools due to sharp cutting
edges.
Remove the tools only when the machine is at a standstill. Prefer an automa-
tic loading and unloading of the tools.
