Avoiding Misuse
Use of suitable cutting tools.
Adapting the speed adjustment and feed to the material and workpiece.
Insert the workpiece tightly, without vibration and without one-sided imbalances.
The machine is not designed for the use of hand tools (e.g. emery cloth or files). It is forbid-
den to use any hand tools on this machine.
The machine is not designed to allow long parts to protrude beyond the spindle hole. If
longer parts have to protrude beyond the spindle hole, an additional operator-side, perma-
nent device must be mounted, which completely covers the protruding part and provides
complete protection against spinning parts.
Long workpieces must be propped up. Use the steady rest or follow rest in conjunction with
the tailstock spindle to support longer parts and prevent the workpiece from flapping around
and flying away.
Risk of fire and explosion due to the use of flammable materials or cooling lubricants.
Before processing inflammable materials (e.g. aluminium, magnesium) or using inflamma-
ble auxiliary materials (e.g. spirit), it is necessary to take additional preventive measures in
order to avoid health risks.
When processing carbons, graphite and carbon-fibre-reinforced carbons, the machine is no
longer being used as intended. When processing carbons, graphite and carbon-fibre-rein-
forced carbons and similar materials, the machine can be damaged quickly, even if the
dusts generated are completely sucked out during the work process.
The processing of plastics with the lathe leads to static charge. The static charge of
machine parts from processing plastics cannot be safely conducted away from the lathe.
When using lathe dogs as carriers for rotating workpieces between the lathe centres, the
standard lathe chuck shield must be replaced with a circular lathe chuck shield.
1.5
Potential dangers that can be caused by the lathe
The lathe has been tested for operational safety. The construction and type are state of the art.
Nevertheless, there is a residual risk as the lathe operates with
high revolutions,
rotating parts,
electrical voltage and currents.
We have used construction resources and safety techniques to minimize the health risk to per-
sonnel resulting from these hazards.
If the lathe is used and maintained by personnel who are not duly qualified, incorrect operation
or improper maintenance of the lathe can be hazardous.

INFORMATION
Everyone involved in the assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance must
be duly qualified,
strictly follow these operating instructions.
In the event of improper use
there may be a risk to the persons,
there is a risk of damage to the lathe and other property,
the correct function of the lathe may be affected.
Always disconnect the lathe, when cleaning or maintenance work is being carried out.
