1.5

Reasonably foreseeable misuse

Any other use other than that specified under "Intended use" or any use beyond the described
use shall be deemed as non-intended use and is not permissible.
Any other use has to be discussed with the manufacturer.
It is only permissible to process metal, cold and non-inflammable materials with the milling
machine.
In order to avoid misuse, it is necessary to read and understand the operating instructions
before first commissioning.
Operators must be qualified.
1.5.1

Avoiding misuse

Use of suitable cutting tools.
Adapting the speed setting and feed to the material and workpiece.
Clamp workpieces firmly and free of vibration.
Risk of fire and explosion due to the use of flammable materials or cooling lubricants.
Before processing inflammable materials (e.g. aluminium, magnesium) or using inflamma-
ble auxiliary materials (e.g. spirit), you need to take additional preventive measures in order
to avoid health risks.
When processing carbons, graphite and carbon-fibre-reinforced carbons, the machine is no
longer being used as intended. This causes the warranty to be null and void. When pro-
cessing carbons, graphite and carbon-fibre-reinforced carbons and similar materials, the
machine can be damaged extremely quickly, even if the dusts generated are completely
sucked out during the work process.
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 flying workpieces.
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.
WARNING!
Do not use the drill chuck as a milling tool. Never clamp a milling cutter into a drill
chuck. Use a collet chuck with collets for the end mill.
When milling make sure that
the corresponding cutting speed is selected,
for workpieces with normal strength values, e.g. steel 18-22 m/min,
for workpieces with high strength values, 10-14 m/min,
for hard materials commercial cooling / lubricating agents are used.
