Basic safety instructions
The machine (hereinafter referred to as the GFX 3.0 or GFX 6.6) is a state-of-the-art machine designed for safe use. The risks
involved in using the machine are described in the operating instructions below. Using this machine in a way other than that
described in these instructions can lead to serious physical injury and material damage.
• Observe warning messages at all times.
• Keep complete documentation close by the machine.
• Generally valid regulations for the prevention of accidents must be observed.
• Observe country-specific regulations, standards and guidelines.
• Always ensure that the machine is in good working order. Observe the maintenance information (chap. 10, p. 69).
• Only operate the machine if all the safety equipment such as the restart inhibitor, overload protection and chips guard are in
good working order. The machine must have a solid footing. Check whether the substrate is able to take sufficient loads. A
radial space requirement/freedom of movement of approx. 2 m around the machine is required for people.
• Report any unusual machine behavior to the person responsible immediately.
• Only use the dimensions and materials specified in these instructions. Other materials should be used only after consulting
with Orbitalum Tools customer service.
• Use only original tools, spare parts, materials and accessories from Orbitalum Tools.
• Repair and maintenance work on the electrical equipment may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
• At the end of each working cycle, before transportation, changing tools, cleaning and performing any maintenance, adjust-
ment or repair work, switch off the machine, wait until the machine/tool stops running and pull the mains plug.
• Do not carry the machine by the cable and do not use the machine to pull out the plug except in an emergency.
• Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges (chips).
• During operation, keep hands away from the tools.
• Allow the heated tool to cool down and only touch it with safety gloves.
• Check that the tube is correctly clamped.
• Switch on the machine only when the tube has been clamped.
• Do not use the machine in wet surroundings. Only work in canopied surroundings.
• In extreme conditions of use, conductive dust or lubricant can settle inside the machine. For this reason and for better safety,
an on-site SPE-PRCD or ground-fault circuit is required between the mains network and the machine, to be installed and
tested if necessary by a professional electrician.
• When working with the machine wear safety shoes (as per EN ISO 20345 at least S1), safety goggles (as per DIN EN 166 Class
2, basic strength S), snug-fitting safety gloves (as per DIN EN 388, Class 2 resistance to abrasion, cut resistance Class 3, tear
resistance Class 2, perforation resistance Class 3 and as per EN 407 at least Performance level 1 against contact heat) and
hearing protection (as per DIN EN 352-4 or comparable).
• Operator age: The respectively valid country-specific laws/standards/guidelines/directives have to be followed.
• Do not use click-in socket outlets and click-in power plugs (blue CEE power plugs) for power connection, otherwise the
EMERGENCY STOP does not function. The user must check whether the power plug can be pulled out of the outlet by the
cable (shutdown, chap. 9.1, p. 65).
• Do not use angled power plugs.
