Before Working
Before starting work, check tools for operational safety (function and visual check). Protective devices
must not be bypassed, removed or made inactive.

Only use tools in perfect, sharpened condition and with clean clamping surfaces.
Only clamp permitted (approved) tools in the drill chuck.
Before starting the drill spindle, remove the drill chuck key.
Switch on and off only via the machine switch, not with the connector.
Always check workpieces to be machined for foreign objects, cracks and loose knots.
Only carry out adjustment work on the machine and the stop systems when the machine is at a standstill.
Use the necessary aids such as workpiece stops, frame stops or mitre fences.
Place workpieces securely on the machine table and on the stops and clamp them firmly.
Adjust the pressure devices and tool covers as best as possible.
Remove any objects lying on the table (tools, loose parts, etc.) before drilling.
Observe the correct direction of rotation of the drilling bit.
Keep the floor in the area of movement around the machine free of tripping hazards.
Ensure that the machine is connected to a functioning extraction system.
Wear tight-fitting clothing and safety shoes and use safety goggles and ear protection.
Take off scarves, watches, necklaces, hand and arm jewellery.
Secure longer hair with a hair tie, cap or hair net.
Do not wear gloves when working with a running slot drilling machine.
