Safety during operation
We provide information about the specific dangers when working with and on the lathe in the
descriptions for these types of work.
WARNING!
Before activating the lathe ensure that this will neither endanger other persons nor
cause damage to equipment.
Avoid any unsafe work methods:
Make sure that your work does not endanger anyone.
Clamp the workpiece tightly before activating the lathe.
Observe the maximum lathe chuck opening.
Use protective glasses!
Do not remove the turning chips by hand. Use a chip hook and / or a hand brush to remove
turning chips.
Clamp the turning tool at the correct height and with the least possible overhang.
Turn off the lathe before measuring the workpiece.
The instructions mentioned in these operating instructions have to be strictly observed dur-
ing assembly, operation, maintenance and repair.
Do not work on the lathe if your concentration is reduced, for example, because you are
taking medication.
Stay at the lathe until all movements have come to a complete standstill.
Use the prescribed personnel protective equipment. Make sure to wear a well-fitting work
suit and, if necessary, a hairnet.
1.12.1 Disconnecting and securing the lathe
Pull the power plug before beginning any maintenance or repair work.
All machine parts as well as all dangerous voltages are switched off.
WARNING!
Live parts and moves of machine parts can injure you or others dangerously! If you
cannot pull the power plug due to required work (e.g. function check), proceed with
extreme caution.
1.12.2 Using lifting equipment
WARNING!
The use of unstable lifting and load suspension equipment that might break under load
can cause severe injuries or even death.
Check that the lifting and load-suspension equipment are of sufficient load-bearing
capability and are in perfect condition. Fasten the loads carefully. Never walk under
suspended loads!
