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 has to be discussed with the manufacturer.
It is only allowed to process metal, cold and non-inflammable materials with the drilling
machine.
In order to avoid misuse, it is necessary to read and understand the operating instructions
before first commissioning.
Operators must be qualified.
1.4.1 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.
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 exactly positioned between the three clamping jaws of the
quick action 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 jams, immediately stop the main motor by pressing the emergency stop
switch,
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.

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 precaution 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 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.
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.
