WARNING!
If you bypass, remove or override a safety device in any other way, you are endangering
yourself and other persons working with the milling machine. The possible
consequences include:
injuries due to tools, workpieces or fragments hereof which are flying off at high
speed,
contact with rotating or moving parts,
fatal electrocution,
pulling-in of clothes.
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.
The milling machine features the following safety devices:
a lockable main switch,
two EMERGENCY STOP push buttons,
a spindle guard for drilling with the spindle sleeve lever,
a horizontal and vertical milling table with T-slots to fix the workpiece or the clamping
device.

CAUTION!
When milling with the vertical milling table - horizontal table is dismantled, chip and
spray guard is dismantled - e.g. when mounting a dividing apparatus on the vertical
table - , the machine operator must take additional precautions to ensure safe operation.
INFORMATION
When drilling with the spindle sleeve lever on the milling head, the spindle guard on the
milling head must be set and closed.
When milling with the automatic feed, the chip and spray guard around the milling table
must be closed.
When using the cooling lubricant pump, the chip and spray guard must always be
closed.
