Personal protective equipment
For certain work personal protective equipment is required.
Protect your face and your eyes: Wear a safety helmet with facial protection when performing
work where your face and eyes are exposed to hazards.
Wear protective gloves when handling pieces or tools with sharp edges.
Wear safety shoes when you assemble, disassemble or transport heavy components.
Use ear protectors if the noise level (emission) in the workplace exceeds 80 dB (A).
Before starting work make sure that the required personnel protective equipment is available at
the work place.
CAUTION!
Dirty or contaminated personnel protective equipment can cause illness. It must be
cleaned after each use and at least once a week.

Safety during operation
WARNING!
Before switching the milling machine on, make sure that there is no risk of personal
injury or damage to property.
Avoid any unsafe work methods:
The instructions mentioned in these operating instructions have to be strictly observed
during assembly, operation, maintenance and repair.
Do not work on the milling machine, if your concentration is reduced, for example, because
you are taking medication.
Clamp the workpiece securely and firmly before switching on the milling machine.
WARNING!
When chipping magnesia materials (aluminium-/magnesium alloys), spontaneously
inflammable or explosive particles (powder, dust, chips) might be generated, which
might cause a fire and/or explosion (deflagration).
Magnesium is designated a dangerous material in the list of dangerous materials and
preparations according to para. 4a of the Ordinance of Hazardous Substances.
In case of a fire with magnesium, only use appropriate and admitted extinguishing
agents. Never extinguish using water. If burning magnesium is extinguished with water,
this might lead to dangerous reactions (hydrogen gas). Water would be decomposed in
its components hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O).
Only the following extinguishing agents are permissible:
solid extinguishing agent of fire class D (fires involving metals)
dry covering salts for magnesium
a mixture of sand and cast chips
argon (Ar) or nitrogen (N
If fine mist and smoke is generated at the workplace, suction units must be provided in
order to avoid the accumulation of ignitable mixtures and emissions.
We specifically point out the dangers in the description of work with and on the drilling machine.
