ATTENTION:

The noise levels which have been measured are emission levels and not levels of safe working.

The relation between emission levels and exposure levels may not be used to determine whether

further precautions are required.

Factors which influence the real exposure level for the operator include the exposure time, the room

features, further sound sources (as for example number of the adjacent working machines).

Also the exposure levels permitted are not the same for all countries.

Thank to this information the operator to evaluate the risks and the dangers.

Here are some factors which reduce the exposure to the noise:

- right tool selection

- right rotation speed selection

- machine and tool maintenance

- proper use of ear protective means.

SAFETY RULES

Carefully read this manual before starting the machine.

In the proper Section concerning the adjustments the relative guards and their use are described.

This machine has been built to ensure the highest safety degree

as well the best perfomance.

The manufacturer is not responsible for the damages due to modifications carried out on the

machine.

Final safety depends on you.

Any machine tool may be be potentionaly dangerous: do not forget it!

PERSONAL SAFETYPERSONAL SAFETY

PERSONAL SAFETY

1- Experience teaches that there are various objects on a person that can cause injuries; take off

rings,watches,bracelets;buttonyoursleevestightlyaroundyourwrists,takeofftiesthatcould

be caught in tight places, keep hair gathered underneath aproper nets (cap, elastics, hair pins).

Use prescribed footwear usually recommended by all countries.

2- Always use glasses, protective shields for your eyes.

3- Use proper means for ear protection (plugs etc.)

MACHINE SAFETYMACHINE SAFETY

MACHINE SAFETY

1- Be extremely careful when starting any working cycle

2- Never start the machine without having properly installed the covers for the spindle, the belts,

chains etc.

3- Before starting the machine make sure that the worktable is free from parts which do not relate

to the working

4- Work only when all guards are in place.

5- Do not machine workpieces too smal or too big for the machine.

6- Before fitting the spindle make sure that each support surface is clean, free from dents and

perfectly flat.

7- Make sure that the cutters are perfectly balanced, sharp and well clamped.

Not sharp tools reduce not only the quality of the finished piece but they increase the piece

kickback danger.

8- Neverusedeformedcuttersanddonotexceedthespeedlimitindicatedonthemandprescribed

by tool manufacturer or by MINI MAX.

9- Use only tools in accordance with prEN 847-1 and suitable for manual feed.

10- The use of circular saw blades is not permitted

11- Thetoolshallbeadjustedwiththemachineoffandwithproperinstruments(gauge,comparator).

12- It is necessary to connect all suction hoods to the suction system.

By taking proper measures make sure that when you start the motor the suction system is

switched on at the same time.

GENERAL

1.12 T1 BF-NGB1

13- Test working to check the tool adjustment may not be carried out without the guards required.

14- The working area shall have a good lighting and a sufficient room so that the operator is always

out of a dangerous area and so that no slipping danger may rise.

15- Start the working only when the tool has reached the right working speed.

16- Inallmillingoperations,inwhichthepiecekickbackispossibleparticularyincaseofinterrupted

milling, you shall use antikickback devices.

In case of short pieces use template to guide the piece against the cutter.

17- When possible use a feeder.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY

1- When you stop the machine for carrying out adjustments or demounting any machine member,

turn main switch to zero and indicate it by a sign, then lock the main switch .

Make sure that the electric system of the machine is swichted off.

MACHINE OPERATION, GUARD SELECTION AND ADJUSTMENTMACHINE OPERATION, GUARD SELECTION AND ADJUSTMENT

MACHINE OPERATION, GUARD SELECTION AND ADJUSTMENT

Because of the variety of workings which can be carried out on vertical spindle moulding machines

by using different spindles, toolholders and cutters, no safeguard can be considered effective for all

conditions.

Each working should be considered separately and the best practicable safeguard selected for that

particolar job.

The cutter type, the tips projection and the height at which the cutter is set, will determine the

minimum diameter of the hole on the table.

Thismaybeobtainedbyusingthereducingringssupplied,thusreducingtheriskthattheworkpiece

oscillates or fits into the cutters.

The guard shall enclose the cutters to the greatest extent according to the working.

The distance between the fence halves shall be so large only to permit the cutter rotation without

contact.

If you use a removable feeder on the machine with straight fence, it can be used to cover the cutters

to the greatest extent possible and often represents the best method of guarding on these machines.

Such feeders shall be easly adjustable to suit different size of workpiece and should not create a

trapping hazard.

If no feeder is used, pressers forming a tunnel, through which the workpiece can be fed, may be

properly used; they fit for working at the fence on the entire piece length if they are used with an

element joining the fence halves or other means to close the gap between fence halves.

To hinder kickback of the piece use front and rear stops which are fastened to the fence, to the table

or to the table extension.

We recommend to use a clamping template unless the piece may be hold in a safe way by the hands.

For clamping the piece use fast locking devices which operate with levers or cams.
