are present and in working order. Always work with all available protection devices!
Workpiece: Before machining, inspect the workpiece for foreign inclusions, knots, twists, objects
and other irregularities.
Working area: An obstacle-free work area around the machine is essential for safe operation.
The floor should be level, well maintained and free from debris such as chips and cut-off workpieces.
Rotation speed: The speed must correspond to the drilling bit and the respective operation.
Do not start drilling before the motor has reached full speed.
Drilling range during operation:Never attempt to remove splinters, chips or other parts from the cutting
area while the machine is running! Never remove splinters and chips by hand!
- Clamp the drilling bit as deep as possible
Special tools:For certain operating phases and operations it is necessary to use special tools, e.g. work-
piece stop, frame stop, mitre fence and dowel drilling unit.
Single pieces / samples: Always use all protective devices and appropriate tools!
Workpiece machining: Only process workpieces that can be safely placed and clamped on the table top.
Workpiece clamping: The eccentric clamp or the optional pneumatic safety clamping cylinder must be used
for all drilling work. The eccentric clamp or the optional pneumatic safety clamping cylinder must be
clamped as close to the bore as possible.
Clamping round workpieces:Attach a template with guide trough to the machine table; clamp and ma-
chine the workpiece. When using pneumatic safety clamping cylinders, set the smallest possible stroke.
Clamping long workpieces:For the safe support of long workpieces, the appropriate equipment (e.g. sup-
port facilities such as roller blocks or table extensions) must be used for all drilling work.
Drilling depth / mortise length:Only set the drilling depth and mortise length when the tool is stationary
and use suitable measuring equipment.

5.2 Working Area
The working area designates the position from which the ma-
chine is operated during operation.
This position is on the rear of the machine, so that the two
control levers for the longitudinal and transverse movement
of the drill unit are easily accessible.
•The longitudinal movement when drilling into the
workpiece is towards the table top.
•The transverse movement when drilling
a mortise is towards both sides.
Note:
On machines with the “single-lever operation” option (see
chapter 16 “Options and Accessories”), narrow workpieces
can also be machined from the table side.
Figure 3: Working area
5.3 Emission Levels
5.3.1 Noise Information
The values given are emission levels and therefore do not necessarily represent safe workstation values at the
same time. Although there is a correlation between emission and immission levels, it cannot be reliably deduced
whether additional precautionary measures are necessary or not.
Factors that may affect the current immission level at the workstation include the duration of exposure, the
nature of the workspace, other noise sources (e.g. the number of machines and other adjacent operations). The
permissible workstation values can also vary from country to country.
However, this information should enable the user to make a better assessment of hazard and risk.
5.3.2 Noise Emission Values
•The measured values given are determined according to DIN 45635 part 1662.
•The noise values given are based on individual measurements.
•Series scattering of + 3 dB(A) can occur.
Workplace-related emission value
Idle 68.3 dB(A)
Operation 74.3 dB(A)
As soon as the noise emission values of the machine exceed 85 dB(A), suitable hearing
protection must be made available to the personnel!
Workplace-related dust emission value: 0.25 mg/m³ air.
