Gerima SMA 50?E1 Operating Manual page 23

Two‐handed operation:
Whatever the position of the machine, always
use two hands to control the machine.
Ensure that the workpiece is securely clamped!
•
for safety reasons
•
to improve the service life of the
cutting inserts
•
to prevent damage to the milling
machine.
Important!
Before you begin machining the workpiece,
make sure that it is securely clamped so that it
cannot slip. This should be done to ensure safe
working so that the workpiece does not slip or
even fly off when being milled, and to prevent
unnecessary vibrations in the workpiece
material.
The less vibration generated in the workpiece,
the longer the service life of the cutting inserts.
As well as offering conventional clamping and
welding tables with a wide range of quick‐
release and special‐purpose clamps, we also can
supply magnetic and vacuum clamping systems
for rapid, simple and professional fastening of
your workpieces.

Machine operation
When working with the machine, make sure that
the machine is always held with two hands and in
such a way that both hands are kept away from
the machining point.
Remove the machine from the workpiece.
Release the locking switch
Once the motor is switched off, wait for it to
come to a standstill before placing the machine
down on a surface.
To become acquainted with the machine, you
must start by machining a small bevel with a
width of no more than 2 mm and remember to
advance the machine slowly at first. Bevels of
maximum width can only be machined safely and
reliably once you have become used to handling
the machine.
