5.1 Pre-assembly measures
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to sharp edges and rough or slippery surfaces.
•Wear personal protective equipment, particularly protective
gloves.
Check that the delivery is complete and that there is no transport
damage. Assembly, dismantling and modification work on the
products may only be carried out by specialist personnel.
When selecting the location for mounting the TOOLFIX system,
ensure there is suitable and ergonomic accessibility and take heed
of the ambient conditions. Mounting the Toolfix system is only
permitted on firmly anchored work tables or cabinets. Slippery or
uneven surfaces in front of the mounted system must be avoided
to enable the employee to stand as safely as possible.
The mounting surface for the TOOLFIX basic module should be
level and free of chips and other contamination.
If the TOOLFIX basic module is to be screwed on from above, four
M10 threads of sufficient depth must be produced in a 90 mm x 90
mm arrangement.
If the TOOLFIX basic module is to be screwed on from below, four
Ø13 holes must be drilled through. If the screw heads are
countersunk due to sinks, care must be taken to ensure that the
countersinks are made in accordance with the standards.
