Safety measures during operation

CAUTION!
Danger due to inhaling dust and mist that is hazardous to health. Dependent on the
material which need to be processed and the used auxiliaries dusts and mist may be
caused which might impair you health. Ensure that the harmful dust and mist generated
are safely sucked off at the point of origin and routed away from the working area or
filtered. To do so, use a suitable extraction unit.
CAUTION!
Risk of fire and explosion by using flammable materials or cooling lubricants.
Before processing inflammable materials (e.g. aluminium, magnesium) or using
inflammable auxiliary materials (e.g. spirit) it is necessary to take additional preventive
measures in order to safely avoid health risks.


the cause of the fault has been eliminated,

have verified that there is no danger to personnel or objects.
WARNING!

endangering yourself and other personnel working with the drilling machine. The
possible consequences are

injuries due to components or workpieces flying off at high speed,

contact with rotating parts and
