Avoiding misuse

Use of suitable cutting tools.
Adapting the speed adjustment and feed to the material and workpiece.
Clamp workpieces firmly and free of vibration.
Always pull out the shift rod on the spindle far enough so that if the workpiece or the clamp
touches the shift rod, the rotation of the spindle are switched off.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by flying workpieces.
The workpiece is always to be fixed by a machine vice, jaw chuck or by another
appropriate clamping tool such as for the clamping claws.
Clamp the workpiece in the machine vice. Make sure that the workpiece is firmly clamped in the
machine vice and that the machine vice is firmly clamped onto the machine table.
Use cooling and lubricating agents to increase the durability of the tool and to improve the
surface quality.
Clamp the cutting tools and workpieces on clean clamping surfaces.
Sufficiently lubricate the machine.
Recommendations:
Insert the drill in a way that it is exactly positioned between the three clamping jaws of the
quick action chuck.
When drilling, make sure that
the suitable speed is set depending on the diameter of the drill,
the pressure must only be such that the drill can cut without load,
if there is too much pressure, the drill will wear quickly and may even break or jam in the
borehole. If the drill jams, immediately stop the main motor by pressing the emergency stop
switch,
use commercial cooling/lubricating agents for hard materials, e.g. steel and
generally always back the spindle out of the workpiece while it is still turning.

Possible dangers caused by the radial drilling machine

The radial drilling machine is state-of-the-art.
Nevertheless, there is a residual risk as radial drilling machine operates with
at high speeds,
with rotating parts,
electrical voltage and currents,
We have used design and safety engineering to minimize the health risk to personnel resulting
from these hazards.
If the radial drilling machine is used and maintained by personnel who are not duly qualified,
there may be a risk resulting from incorrect or unsuitable maintenance of the radial drilling
machine.
INFORMATION
Everyone involved in the assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance must
be duly qualified,
and strictly follow these operating instructions.
In the event of improper use
there may be a risk to personnel,
there may be a risk to the machine and other material values,
