Safety measures during operation
CAUTION!
Danger due to inhaling dust and mist that are hazardous to health.
Depending on the materials to be machined and the agents used, dusts and mists can
arise that are detrimental to health.
Ensure that the harmful dust and mist generated are safely sucked off at the point of
origin and routed away from the working area or filtered. To do so, use a suitable
extraction unit.
CAUTION!
Risk of fire and explosion by using flammable materials or cooling lubricants.
Extra precautionary measures must be taken before machining flammable materials (e.g.
aluminium, magnesium) or using combustible agents (e.g. spirit) to avert a health
hazard.
1.9
Safety devices
Use the geared drill only with properly functioning safety devices.
Stop the geared drill immediately, if a safety device fails or is faulty or becomes ineffective.
It is your responsibility!
If a safety device has been activated or has failed, the geared drill must only be used if you
the cause of the fault has been eliminated,
you have verified that there is no danger to personnel or objects.
WARNING!
If you bypass, remove or deactivate a safety device in any other way, you are
endangering yourself and other personnel working with the geared drill. The possible
consequences are
injuries due to components or workpieces flying off at high speed,
contact with rotating parts,
fatal electrocution,
The geared drill includes the following safety devices:
an emergency stop push button,
a drilling table with T-slots to fix the workpiece or a vice,
a drill chuck guard, in order to prevent interference with the rotating tool.
INFORMATION
The geared drill can only be switched on if the drill chuck guard is closed.
WARNING!
Although the isolating safety devices provided and delivered with the machine are
designed to reduce the risks of workpieces being ejected or parts of tools or workpieces
breaking off, they cannot eliminate these risks completely. Always work carefully and
observe the limits of the machining process.
