Residual risk
This clamping device has been constructed in accordance with the state-of-the-art of
technology and the recognised safety rules.
The user is responsible for applying the correct workpiece tension.
New clampings have to be carefully checked by qualified personnel with relevant training.
One always needs to allow for the risk that the workpiece may be dislodged, even when the
clamping device is functioning correctly; this is due to the different processing force, wrong
manipulation of the milling machine etc.
Protective devices are to be attached to the processing machine that will protect the operator
from any tool or workpiece parts that may be ejected.
It is mandatory that operators and others in the proximity of the processing machine wear
protective goggles.
The clamping device must not be used in any way that impairs its function and operational safety.
2.3.1
Replacing the locating bolts
Damage may result if locating bolts are insufficiently tightened!
For further information, refer to section 4 "Operation".
2.3.2
Notes on clamping technology
The operator is responsible for ensuring that the clamping geometry and clamping forces are
suitable for the intended processing.
We recommend that clamping be carried out with a torque wrench in order to achieve
consistent clamping results.
The clamping forces can only be achieved if the clamping device functions correctly and
the workpiece is correctly held in the device.
Regular servicing and cleaning in accordance with the operating instructions is mandatory
in order to ensure correct function.
2.4
