1.2 Intended use
WARNING!
If the drilling machine is not used as intended or if the safety directives or the operating
instructions are ignored the liability of the manufacturer for any damages to persons or
objects resulting hereof is excluded and the claim under guarantee is becoming null and
avoid!
The bench drill is designed and manufactured to be used in a non-explosive environment. The
bench drill is designed and manufactured for holes in cold metals or other non flammable mate-
rials or that not constitute a health hazard using a rotating filing-stripping tool that has a num-
ber of grooves for collecting the filings. The drilling machine is equipped with a drill chuck
protection. The drill may only be operated with this chuck guard.
If the bench drill is used in any way other than described above, modified without authorization
of Optimum Maschinen Germany GmbH, then the geared drill is being used improperly.
We will not be held liable for any damages resulting from any operation which is not in accord-
ance with the intended use.
We explicitly point out that any construction, technical or process engineering changes that
have not been approved by Optimum Maschinen Germany GmbH will render the warranty null
and void
It is also part of intended use that the maximum values for the drilling machine are complied
with and the operating manual is observed.
ATTENTION!
If the bench drill is not used as intended or if the safety directives or the operating
instructions are ignored the liability of the manufacturer for any damages to persons or
objects resulting hereof is excluded and the claim under guarantee is becoming null and
avoid!
1.3 Reasonably foreseeable misuses
Any use other than that specified under "Intended use" or any use beyond that described will be
deemed non-intended use and is not permissible. Any other use has to be discussed with the
manufacturer.
It is only permissible to process metal, cold and non-inflammable materials with the bench drill.
In order to avoid misuse, it is necessary to read and understand the operating instructions
before first commissioning.
Operators must be qualified.
1.3.1 Avoiding misuse
Use of suitable cutting tools.
Adapting the speed setting and feed to the material and workpiece.
Clamp workpieces firmly and free of vibration.
ATTENTION!
The workpiece is always to be fixed by a machine vice, jaw chuck or by another
appropriate clamping tool such as for the clamping claws.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by flying workpieces.
The table height adjustment must not be used as a drill feed. The clamping of the table is
released, the possible load capacity of the table height adjustment is not intended for
this.

Safety
Version 1.0.1 - 2020-09-078 Translation of original instruction
DQ14 | DQ18 | DQ22
EN
DQ14_DQ18_DQ22_GB_1.fm
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 drill 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 positioned exactly between the three clamping jaws of the
drill 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 gets jammed immediately stop the main motor by pressing the emer-
gency stop button,
For hard materials, e.g. steel, it is necessary to use commercial cooling/lubricating
agents.Basically, always pull out the drill with rotating spindle from the workpiece.
The processing of plastics on the drilling machine leads to static charging. The static charg-
ing of machine parts due to the processing of plastics cannot be safely dissipated by the
drilling machine.
1.4 Possible dangers posed by the bench drill
The bench drill is state-of-the-art. Nevertheless, there is a residual risk, as the bench drill oper-
ates with
high speeds,
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 bench drill is used and maintained by personnel who are not duly qualified, there may be
a risk resulting from incorrect or unsuitable maintenance of the bench drill.
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 bench drill may be affected.
Always disconnect the bench drill when cleaning or maintenance work is being carried out.
WARNING!
The bench drill may only be used with fully functional safety devices.
Disconnect the bench drill immediately, whenever you detect a failure in the safety
devices or when they are not fitted!
This is your responsibility being the operator!

2.1 Emissions
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.
The A-weighted sound pressure level LpA is 73 to 75 dB.
The A-weighted sound power level LWA is 98 to 102 dB.
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 following factors influence the actual degree of the noise exposure of the operator:
Characteristics of the working area, e.g. size of 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, however, allow the operator of the machine
to more easily evaluate the hazards and risks.
Environmental conditions
Relative humidity 25 - 80 %
Operating equipment, toothed rack and oiler
Operating equipment,, toothing on the spindle Acid-free lubricating oil Assembly grease for clearance fits, e.g. Staburag NBU 30 PTM

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 Delivery
Check the status of the machine immediately upon receipt and claim possible damages at the
last carrier also if the packing is not being damaged. In order to ensure claims towards the
freight carrier we recommend you to leave the machines, devices and packing material for the
time being in the status at which you have determined the damage or to take photos of this sta-
tus. Please inform us about any other claims within six days after receipt of delivery.
3.3 Unpacking
Place the machine near its final location before proceeding to unpack. If the packaging shows
signs of having possibly been damaged during transport, take the appropriate precautions to
prevent the machine being damaged when unpacking. If damage is discovered, the carrier and/
or shipper must be notified immediately so the necessary steps can be taken to register a com-
plaint.
Examine the complete machine carefully and check whether all materials, such as shipping
documents, instructions and accessories have been delivered with the machine.

3.4 Installation requirements
Organise the working area around the machine according to the local safety regulations. The
work area for operation, maintenance and repair must not be restrictive.
The illumination of the workplace must be designed in such a manner that an illumination of
500 Lux is attained at the tool tip.
If this is not guaranteed with the normal installation site lighting, workplace lights (available as
an option) must be used.
Follow the prescribed safety areas and escape routes according to VDE 0100 part 729 as
well as the environmental conditions for the operation of the machine.
The mains plug or the main switch of the machine installed by the operator must be freely
accessible.
The machine must only be installed and operated in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Avoid places near machines generating chips or dust.
The installation site must be free from vibrations also at a distance of presses, planing
machines, etc.
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.
3.4.1 Fixing
In order to provide for the necessary stability of the drilling machine, connect the machine with
its foot to the substructure.
Fix the foot of the drilling machine to the substructure with the holes pre-drilled for this pur-
pose.
ATTENTION!
Tighten the fixing screws of the drilling machine only as much that it is safely fixed and
cannot break away or tilt over.
If the fixing screws are too tight in particular in connection with an uneven substructure it may
result in a broken stand of the machine.
