Possible Dangers Caused By The Drilling Machine - Optimum OPTi drill D 17Pro Operating Manual

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.

Set the bearing clearance and guides correctly.
Recommendations:

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,

if there is too much pressure, the drill will wear quickly and may even break or jam in the
borehole. If the drill jams, immediately stop the main motor by pressing the emergency stop
switch,

use commercial cooling/lubricating agents for hard materials, e.g. steel and

generally always back the spindle out of the workpiece while it is still turning.

Possible dangers caused by the drilling machine

The drilling machine was built using state-of-the-art technology.
Nevertheless, there is a residual risk as the drilling machine operates with
at high speeds,

with rotating parts,

electrical voltage and currents.

We have used design and safety engineering to minimize the health risk to personnel resulting
from these hazards.
If the drilling machine is used and maintained by personnel who are not duly qualified, there
may be a risk resulting from incorrect or unsuitable maintenance of the drilling machine.
INFORMATION
Everyone involved in the assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance must
be duly qualified,

and strictly follow these operating instructions.

In the event of improper use
there may be a risk to personnel,

there may be a risk to the machine and other material values,

the correct function of the drilling machine may be affected.

Always disconnect the drilling machine if cleaning or maintenance work is being carried out, or
is no longer in use.
WARNING!
The drilling machine may only be operated with functional safety devices.
Disconnect the drilling machine immediately, whenever you detect a failure in the safety
devices or when they are not fitted!
