ATTENTION!
If the drilling-milling machine is not used as intended or if the safety directives or the
operating instructions are ignored the liability of the manufacturer for any damages to
persons or objects resulting hereof is excluded and the claim under guarantee is
becoming null and void!
1.3
Reasonably foreseeable misuses
Any other use as the one determined under the "Intended use" or any use beyond the
described use shall be deemed as not in conformity and is forbidden.
Any other use has to be discussed with the manufacturer.
It is only allowed to process metal, cold and non-inflammable materials with the milling-
machine.
In order to avoid misuses it is necessary to read and understand the operating instructions
before the first commissioning.
The operators must be qualified.
1.3.1 Avoiding misuses
Use of suitable cutting tools.
Adapting the speed adjustment and feed to the material and workpiece.
Clamp workpieces firmly and vibration-free.
For the drilling-milling machine there are conversion kits.
The attachments are provided as a kit to computer-controlled milling (CNC Computerized
numerical control). However, the control of the step motors can also be done manually via a
special controller (control, potentiometer). A step motor control is required in each case.
The drilling-milling machine must only be installed and operated in a dry and well-ventilated
place.
The machine BF46 Vario | BF46TC covered by the standard DIN EN 13128 (milling machines,
including drilling machines). Therein, the manually controlled machines are divided into two
classes with different protection levels, depending on the travel speed of a single power-driven
axis. In addition, the requirements for automatically controlled machines listed (highest level of
protection).
The one who changed the manually controlled BF46 Vario | BF46TC on CNC control is legally
the manufacturer of a new machine due to the significant change in the machine and is there-
fore responsible for compliance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive and the DIN
EN 13128.
The tool follows a path of movement which is normally not predictable by the operator. Because
of the additional hazards caused by flying parts the standard defines protective devices. It does
not matter what speeds are available on the axes.
We expressly point out that the guarantee will expire due to any constructive technical or proce-
dural changes which had not been performed by the company Optimum Maschinen Germany
GmbH.
With the conversion of the machine BF46 Vario | BF46TC an cabinet is required.
A suitable cabinet for these machines you can order:
Cabinet SHC 3 for BF46 Vario | BF46TC, item no. 353 9093
ATTENTION!
The workpiece is always to be fixed by a machine vice, jaw chuck or by another
appropriate clamping tool such as for the clamping claws.
