DANGER
Risk to life and limb of the operating personnel in case of not
completely clamped workpiece and not removed Allan key
Risk to life and limb of the operating personnel and significant
damage of the machine due to the possibility of parts flying off.
•The machine spindle should only be started when the
workpiece is clamped and the Allan key is removed from the
chuck.
•Unclamping may only be possible when the machine spindle
has come to a standstill.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to dropping the chuck during transport,
installation or removal.
•Take special care in the danger zone when transporting,
installing or removing the chuck.
•Note the relevant load securing regulations for working safely
with cranes, ground conveyors, lifting gear and load-handling
equipment.
