2-001 Safety Information
- It is the responsibility of the machine owner or their authorized representative to make certain that the machine
operators are correctly trained in the operation of the machine.
- Only authorized electricians or electrical specialists may work on the electrical equipment.
- The pneumatic and electric connecting lines are to be installed in an orderly manner and are to be protected from
damage (by cable channels, conduits, or something similar).
- The safety devices, which are included in this shipment, must always be utilized and shall not be by-passed or
rendered inoperable.
- During service or maintenance work, the machine must be turned off at the main electrical switch (unplug the
machine) and the machine must be disconnected from the pneumatic lines (for example, by quick coupling).
- Before a tool change, gearbox change or work in the area of the drill, the main switch must always be set at 0.
- Use only tools which meet specifications and regulations and which are strong and durable (such as the tools from
the Grass product line program).

the other bore spindles.
- Before operating the machine, all safety devices must be checked to make sure they are complete and function
correctly.
- The operator should be especially careful with larger workpieces that project out over the machine. We strongly
recommend using a larger support base or additional support bases for the workpiece.
- Shavings should not be blown off, but should be suctioned with the appropriate device.
