Avoiding Misuses; Possible Dangers Caused By The Geared Drill - Optimum OPTIdrill B 40GSP Operating Manual

1.4.1

Avoiding misuses


Use of suitable cutting tools.

Adapting the speed adjustment and feed to the material and workpiece.

Clamp workpieces firmly and vibration-free.
ATTENTION!
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.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by workpieces flying off.
Clamp the workpiece in the machine vice. Make sure that the workpiece is firmly clamped in the
machine vice resp. that the machine vice is firmly clamped on 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.

Correctly adjust the bearing clearance and the guidings.
It is recommended:

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

in case of too strong pressure the drill will get worn early or even might break resp. get
jammed in the hole. If the drill gets jammed immediately stop the main motor by pressing
the emergency stop button,

for hard materials, e.g. steel, use commercial cooling / lubricating agents,

generally always drive the turning spindle out of the workpiece.

Possible dangers caused by the geared drill

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