7.6.3 Fire hazard
WARNING
Danger of fire with unfavourable conditions! Injury and death, as well as
significant property damage may arise due to:
•
Unsuitable tools
•
Incorrect cutting speeds
•
Processing highly combustible materials
•
Overheating milling unit parts due to irregular cleaning and maintenance
•
Sparks flying from tools
•
Unsuitable cleaning or operating products
Always ensure that:
•
Only approved materials and milling cutter types are used
•
Only approved extraction systems for dry dust are used
•
The maximum cutting and feeding speed is not exceeded
•
The user of the milling unit is responsible for a risk assessment of the
workstation
•
If necessary, an extinguisher must be retrospectively installed by the
user
•
Processing is observed when milling flammable materials (e.g. PMMA,
wax, plastics, titanium) with new parameters
•
Tools are checked for wear regularly
•
Dirt must be removed from the components immediately
•
When handling coolant lubricants, the corresponding safety data sheet is
used with particular awareness of the fire risks
•
Only coolant lubricants approved by Planmeca are used
•
Every employee who works with this milling unit in any manner receives
regular safety instructions, is sufficiently trained and has read the user’s
manual
NOTE
Mandatory risk assessment for workstations!
The risk of fire that applies to the milling unit is dependent on the materials
and tools used. The milling unit user, who selected the materials and tools,
is therefore additionally responsible for conducting a risk assessment of the
workstation in accordance with the industrial health and safety act.
7.6.4 Substance hazards
Dust
When working with certain materials, fine milling/drilling dust may arise.
This may be harmful to health or flammable and should - if necessary - be
vacuumed with an extraction system approved by Planmeca, because this
complies with the valid and applicable legal regulations!
The milling unit user must ensure that:
•
Users receive regular safety training
•
Users are sufficiently sensitised in this regard (information security)
