Original operating instructions

GB
It is recommended:
Insert the drill in a way that it is exactly positioned between the three clamping jaws of the
quick action chuck.
Clamp and mills by means of the collet chuck and the corresponding collets.
Clamp end face mills by means of shell end mill arbors.
When drilling make sure that
the suitable speed is set depending on the diameter of the drill,
the pressure must only be such that the drill can cut without load
in case of too strong pressure the drill will get worn early or even might break resp. get
jammed in the hole. If the drill gets jammed immediately stop the main motor by pressing
the emergency stop button,
for hard materials, e.g. steel, use commercial cooling / lubricating agents,
generally always drive the turning spindle out of the workpiece.
ATTENTION!
Do not use the quick action drill chuck for milling tools. Never clamp a milling cutter into
a quick action drill chuck. Use a collet chuck with collets for the end mill.
When milling make sure that
the corresponding cutting speed is selected,
for workpieces with normal strength values, e.g. steel 18-22 m/min,
for workpieces with high strength values 10-14 m/min,
the pressure is selected in a way that the cutting speed remains constant,
for hard materials commercial cooling / lubricating agents are used.

Possible dangers caused by the milling-machine
The milling-machine has undergone a safety inspection. The construction and type are state of
the art.
Nonetheless there remains a residual risk, since the milling-machine operates with
rotating parts,
electrical voltage and currents,
compressed air,
rapid moves.
We have used construction resources and safety techniques to minimize the health risk to per-
sonnel resulting from these hazards.
If the milling-machine is used and maintained by the personnel who are not duly qualified,
there may be a risk resulting from incorrect or unsuitable maintenance of the milling-machine.
INFORMATION
Everyone involved in the assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance must
be duly qualified,
strictly follow these operating instructions.
In the event of improper use
there may be a risk to the personnel,
there may be a risk to the milling-machine and other material values,
the correct function of the milling-machine may be affected.
Always switch off the milling-machine and disconnect it from the mains if you perform cleaning
or maintenance works.
