Safety instructions

The instrument has been designed and manufactured so the user is not exposed to
any danger if the instrument is used as intended.
It is necessary that the user is trained in the use of this type of instrument.
The instrument should be opened by authorized service personnel only.
Before opening any covers the instrument must be disconnected from the electrical
supply.
The instrument is equipped with protected ground. Before connecting it to the local
electrical supply make sure that the mains has the required ground and that the
instrument is connected to it according to the local regulations.
Unplug the instrument before installing or changing fuses.
High speed motor spindle
When switching on the mains switch, the motor spindle mechanism initialises and the
instrument is ready for use. The miller is shielded by a protective cover allowing the
miller to operate only when it is closed.
The user must not make any manipulation in the milling area while the miller is on
and rotating.
Only tools recommended for use with this machine should be used.
The tools must be installed in accordance with the instructions (chapter 4.6. and
4.7.). Loose or wrongly installed tools can lead to injury and may damage the
machine.
Using the feed hand wheel (2) or HOME button, the spindle has to be retracted
completely before operation to prevent a collision between tools and specimen
holder.
The angle of the pyramid is adjusted with the lever (3). For milling and sawing only, a
setting between 0 and 30 is recommended. Higher angle values can lead to a
dangerous and destructive contact between specimen holder and tool (depending on
the protruding length of the sample).
