Reasonably Foreseeable Misuses; Avoiding Misuse - Optimum OPTi drill DX 17V Operating Manual

WARNING!
The bench drill is not intended for use in residential facilities where the power is
supplied via a public low voltage supply system. In these areas, it may be difficult to
guarantee electromagnetic compatibility due to conducted and emitted interference.
1.4

Reasonably foreseeable misuses

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 allowed to process metal, cold and non-inflammable materials with the drilling
machine.
In order to avoid misuse, it is necessary to read and understand the operating instructions
before first commissioning.
The operators must be qualified.
1.4.1

Avoiding misuse


Use of suitable cutting tools.

Adapting the speed adjustment and feed to the material and workpiece.

Clamp workpieces firmly and vibration-free.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by workpieces flying off. The workpiece must always be fixed with
a machine vice, jaw chuck or by other appropriate clamping tool, such as clamping
claws.
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.
When drilling, ensure 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 jams, immediately stop the main motor by pressing the emer-
gency stop switch,

for hard materials, e.g. steel, use commercial coolants or lubricating agents.

generally always drive the turning spindle out of the workpiece.
INFORMATION
The drilling machines with frequency converter for regulating the speed are built according to
the standard EN 61800-3 class C2.
WARNING!
This machine is not intended for use in residential buildings, in which the power supply
is provided via a public low voltage supply system. In these areas it may possibly be
difficult to guarantee electromagnetic compatibility due to lead bound as well as emitted
interferences.
