WARNING! Severe injuries due to non-intended use. It is forbidden to make any modifications or alternations to the operation values of the milling machine. They could endanger the personnel and cause damage to the milling machine. 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.

system and recognise and avoid any possible dangers. Qualified electricians have been spe- cially trained for the working environment, in which they are working and know the relevant standards and regulations. Qualified personnel Due to their professional training, knowledge and experience as well as knowledge of relevant regulations, qualified personnel are able to perform the assigned tasks and to independently recognise and avoid any possible dangers.

1.6.5 Additional requirements regarding the qualification The following additional requirements apply for work on electrical components or equipment: They may only be performed by a qualified electrician or person working under the instructions and supervision of a qualified electrician. Before beginning work on electrical parts or equipment, the following measures must be taken in the order listed below: ...

expelled, but not to remove them completely. Always work carefully and observe the limits of your machining process. 1.9.1 Emergency stop mushroom button CAUTION! The spindle continues to rotate for a while depending on the mass moment of inertia of the spindle and the tool.
Page 14
1.9.4 Separation guard Adjust the guard to the correct height before you start working. To do so, detach the clamping screw, adjust the required height and re-tighten the clamping screw. A switch is integrated into the fixture of the spindle protection which monitors that the cover is closed.
Page 15
1.11 Personal protective equipment For certain work personal protective equipment is required. Protect your face and your eyes: Wear a safety helmet with facial protection when performing work where your face and eyes are exposed to hazards. Wear protective gloves when handling pieces with sharp edges. Wear safety shoes when you assemble, disassemble or transport heavy components.
Page 16
Observe the accident prevention regulations issued by your Employers Liability Insurance Association or other supervisory authorities responsible for your company. Fasten the loads properly. Never walk under suspended loads! 1.15 Icons on the milling machine Make sure that the command and warning symbols are legible. 1.16 Electrical system Have the electrical equipment on the machine checked regularly.

Delivery, interdepartmental transport, assembly and commissioning Notes on transport, installation, commissioning Improper transport, installation and commissioning is liable to accidents and can cause damage or malfunctions to the machine for which we do not assume any liability or guarantee. Transport the scope of delivery secured against shifting or tilting with a sufficiently dimensioned industrial truck or a crane to the installation site.

Scope of delivery INFORMATION The milling machine is pre-assembled. Check immediately upon delivery of the milling machine if there are any transport damages or loosened fastening screws. Compare the scope of delivery with the attached packing list. Installation and assembly 3.3.1 Requirements regarding the installation site The working area for operating, maintenance and repair must not be hindered.

Electrical connection The machine is installed and ready to operate. Please verify if the type of current, voltage and protection fuse correspond to the values specified. A protective earth ground wire connection must be available. Main Fuse 16A. Due to the design, the leakage current is greater than 3,5 mA.
Page 25
3.7.1 Regulated drives in connection with residual current devices Speed-controlled drives are one of the standard equipment in machine and plant construction and perform various tasks. Compared to a simple motor, the electronic rectifiers or converters require some special features for the necessary safety measures for electrical safety. Depend- ing on the application, the use of a fault current protection device, differential current monitor- ing or insulation monitoring can make more sense.
Page 26
To avoid an operating fault, you need an AC/DC-sensitive ELCB. Be absolutely sure which leakage current security is necessary for dangerous body currents, as regulated in DIN VDE 0100 part 410, at your mains connection. 3.7.4 When the ELCB triggers Pulse current - sensitive ELCB type A...

Power grid fluctuations and their destructive effect A prerequisite for grid stability is that the frequency and voltage are within the specified limits at every location in the power grid and at all times. Excessive deviations in voltage can only be remedied locally, i.e.

4.9.3 Removal on MH 25SPV Open the spindle guard (1), the way to open the collet is cleared. Hold the tool. If not already loosened, loosen the quill clamp (2) first. Push the quill lever (3) upwards to open the collet.
Page 33
4.10 Use of collets When using collets for the reception of milling tools, a higher operation tolerance can be achieved. The exchange of the collet for a smaller or larger end mill cutter is performed simply and rapidly and it is not necessary to remove the complete tool. The collet is pressed into the ring of the swivel nut and must rest there by itself.
Page 34
The optimum cutting speed largely depends on the material of the workpiece and the material the tool is made of. With tools (milling cutters) made of hard metal or ceramic insert it is possible to work with higher speeds than with tools made of high-alloy high speed steel (HSS).
Page 36
The workpieces need to be tensed inflexibly and stably (vice, screw clamp). INFORMATION Friction during the cutting process causes high temperatures at the cutting edge of the tool. The tool should be cooled during the milling process. Cooling the tool with a suitable cooling lubricant ensures better working results and a longer edge life of the cutting tool.
