2.10 Emissions
The generation of noise emitted by the drilling machine is lower than 80 dB(A). If the drilling is
installed in an area where various machines are in operation, the noise exposure (immission)
on the operator of the drilling machine at the working place may exceed 80 dB(A).
INFORMATION
This numerical value was measured on a new machine under the operating conditions specified
by the manufacturer. The noise behaviour of the machine might change depending on the age
and wear of the machine.
Furthermore, the noise emission also depends on production engineering factors, e.g. speed,
material and clamping conditions.
INFORMATION
The specified numerical value represents the emission level and does not necessarily a safe
working level. Though there is a dependency between the degree of the noise emission and the
degree of the noise disturbance it is not possible to use it reliably to determine if further precau-
tion measures are required or not. The following factors influence the actual degree of the noise
exposure of the operator:
Characteristics of the working area, e.g. size or damping behaviour,
other noise sources, e.g. the number of machines,
other processes taking place in proximity and the period of time, during which the operator
is exposed to the noise.
Furthermore, it is possible that the admissible exposure level might be different from country to
country due to national regulations. This information about the noise emission should, how-
ever, allow the operator of the machine to more easily evaluate the hazards and risks.
CAUTION!
Depending on the overall noise exposure and the basic threshold values, machine
operators must wear appropriate hearing protection. We generally recommend the use
of noise and ear protection.
3 Delivery, interdepartmental transport and unpacking
CAUTION!
Injuries caused by parts falling over or off a forklift, pallet truck or transport vehicle. Only
use means of transport that can carry the total weight and are suitable for it.
3.1 Notes on transport, installation and unpacking
Improper transport of individual devices and minor machines, unsecured devices and minor
machines stacked on top of each other or next to each other in packed or already unpacked
condition is accident-prone and can cause damage or malfunctions for which we do not grant
any liability or guarantee.
Transport the scope of delivery secured against shifting or tilting with a sufficiently dimen-
sioned industrial truck to the installation site.
3.1.1 General risks during internal transport
CAUTION: DANGER OF TIPPING!
The device may be lifted unsecured by a maximum of 2cm.

Employees must be outside the danger zone, the reach of loads. Warn employees and, if
necessary, advise employees of the hazard.
Act responsibly during transport and always consider the consequences. Refrain from daring
and risky actions.
Gradients and descents (e.g. driveways, ramps and the like) are particularly dangerous. If such
passages are unavoidable, special caution is required.
Before starting the transport check the transport route for possible danger points, unevenness
and disturbances as well as for sufficient strength and load capacity.
Danger points, unevenness and disturbance points must be inspected before transport. The
removal of danger spots, disturbances and unevenness at the time of transport by other
employees leads to considerable dangers.
Careful planning of internal transport is therefore essential.
3.2 Scope of delivery
Check the drilling machine immediately after delivery for transport damage, missing parts and
loose locking bolts.
Compare the scope of delivery with the delivery note. Drilling machines in the standard pack-
age will be delivered as indicated below.
The standard delivery are:
3.3 Storage
ATTENTION!
Incorrect and improper storage might result in damage or destruction of electrical and
mechanical machine components.
Store packed and unpacked parts only under the intended environmental conditions.
Follow the instructions and information on the transport box.
Consult Optimum Maschinen Germany GmbH if the machine and accessories are stored for
more than three months or are stored under different environmental conditions than those spec-
ified here .

3.4 Installation and assembly
3.4.1 Installation site requirements
Organize the working area around the drilling machine according to the local safety regulations.
WARNING!
The drilling machine must be connected to the substructure.
INFORMATION
In order to attain good functionality as well as a long service life of the machine, the place of
installation should fulfil certain criteria.
Please observe the following points:
The device must only be installed and operated in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Avoid places close to machines which cause chips or dust.
The installation site must be vibration-free, i.e. located away from presses, planing
machines, etc.
The substructure must be suitable for the drilling machine. Make sure that the floor has suf-
ficient load-bearing capacity and is level.
The ground must be prepared in a way that potential coolants cannot penetrate the floor.
Any parts sticking out such as stops, handles, etc. have to be secured by measures taken
by the customer if necessary in order to avoid endangering persons.
Provide sufficient space for the personnel preparing and operating the machine and trans-
porting the material.
Also make sure the machine is accessible for setting and maintenance works.
Provide for sufficient backlight (Minimum value: 500 Lux, measured at the tool tip). In the
event of a lower level of lighting, additional illumination must be provided, e.g. by means of
a separate workplace light.
CAUTION!
Arrange the machine's connection cable in such a way that it will not cause a tripping
hazard.
INFORMATION
The mains plug of the drilling machine must be freely accessible.
3.5 Assembly
WARNING!
Danger of crushing when assembling and installing the machine components.
3.5.1 Mounting of base and drill column
INFORMATION
To mount the drilling machine, you will need a 17 mm hexagonal wrench and the hexagonal
screws supplied.
