MH35G│MH35V EN
MH35G_MH35V_GB_1.fm
WARNING!
Extremely severe injuries due to non-intended use.
It is forbidden to make any modifications or alternations to the operating parameters
values of the milling machine. They could pose an accident hazard to persons and cause
damage to the milling machine.
1.4 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
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 must be discussed with the manufacturer.
Only metallic, cold and non-flammable materials may be machined with the milling machine.
In order to avoid misuse, the operating instructions must be read and understood before first
commissioning.
Operators must be duly qualified.
1.4.1 Avoiding misuse
Use of suitable cutting tools.
Adapting the speed adjustment and feed to the material and workpiece.
Clamp workpieces firmly and free of vibration.
Risk of fire and explosion due to the use of flammable materials or cooling lubricants.
Before processing inflammable materials (e.g. aluminium, magnesium) or using inflamma-
ble auxiliary materials (e.g. spirit), you need to take additional preventive measures in order
to avoid health risks.
When processing plastics, the machine operator must ensure that static electricity gener-
ated during the machining process can be discharged easily.
When processing carbons, graphite and carbon-fibre-reinforced carbons, the machine is no
longer being used as intended. This causes the warranty to be null and void. When pro-
cessing carbons, graphite and carbon-fibre-reinforced carbons and similar materials, the
machine can be damaged extremely quickly, even if the dusts generated are completely
sucked out during the work process.
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.
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 machine 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.
Clamp end mills (or shank cutters) in a collet chuck using the corresponding collets.
Clamp end face mills using shell end mill arbors.
When drilling, make sure that

Version 1.1.0 - 2020-08-0710 Translation of original instruction
MH35G│MH35V
EN
MH35G_MH35V_GB_1.fm
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 jams, immediately stop the main motor by pressing the emergency stop
button,
use commercial cooling/lubricating agents for hard materials, e.g. steel and
generally always back the spindle out of the workpiece while it is still turning.
ATTENTION!
Do not use the drill chuck as a milling tool. Never clamp a milling cutter into a drill
chuck. Use a collet chuck and appropriate collets for end mills.
When milling, ensure that
the right cutting speed is selected;
for workpieces with normal strength values, e.g. steel, 18-22 m/min,
for workpieces with high strength values, 10-14 m/min,
the pressure is selected so that the cutting speed remains constant,
normal trade coolants/lubricants are used for hard materials.
Additional for MH35V

1.9.3 Stored charge on MH35V
WARNING!
The frequency converter of MH35V contains capacitors that remain charged with a potentially
lethal voltage after the machine has been isolated from the mains. If the frequency controller
was under power, it must be disconnected from the power supply for at least 10 minutes.
Before continuing to work, ensure there is no voltage. Normally, the capacitors are discharged
by an internal resistor. In certain unusual error conditions, it is possible that the capacitors are
not discharged or that a discharge is prevented by voltage on the adjacent motor connection
terminals. If the frequency converter has a technical defect, so that nothing is shown on the dis-
play, the capacitors may not be discharged.
