Basic safety notes
Intended use
This product and the compatible add-on components are intended
solely for positioning and clamping workpieces or clamping pallets
on machine tools or other suitable technical devices.
• The product may only be used within the scope of its technical
data, (3.2, Page 18).
• The product is intended for industrial and industry-oriented
use.
• Appropriate use of the product includes compliance with all
instructions in this manual.
Not intended use
The product is not being used as intended if, for example:
• It is used as a pressing tool, a toolholder, a load-handling device
or as lifting equipment.
• It is used for turning applications over 100 rpm without
consulting SCHUNK.
• It is used in working environments that are not permissible.
• People work on machines or technical equipment that do not
comply with the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC,
disregarding the applicable safety regulations.
• The technical data specified by the manufacturer are exceeded
during usage.
Constructional changes

Spare parts
Use of unauthorized spare parts
Using unauthorized spare parts can endanger personnel and
damage the product or cause it to malfunction.
• Use only original spare parts or spares authorized by SCHUNK.
Environmental and operating conditions
Required ambient conditions and operating conditions
Incorrect ambient and operating conditions can make the product
unsafe, leading to the risk of serious injuries, considerable material
damage and/or a significant reduction to the product's life span.
• Make sure that the product is used only in the context of its
defined application parameters, (3.2, Page 18).
• Make sure that the product is a sufficient size for the
application.
• Ensure the contact surfaces of the interface and recesses
towards the locating surfaces above the bolting points are kept
clean at all times.
• Under all circumstances, prevent any type of chips from
entering the interface and prevent cooling emulsion from
seeping into the interface. This may occur particularly during
vertical alignment of the clamping pin axis. The best way to
ensure both of these requirements is to use the SDE protection
covers or the cone seal provided for the quick-change pallet
system. If the interface should become filled with cooling
emulsion, initiate the unlocking process and allow the interface
to dry out while in an actuated state. It may be blown out
carefully with compressed air but only when using the required
protective equipment.
• Only use high-quality cooling emulsions with anti-corrosive
additives during processing.
• Protect the cone seal from high-pressure direct spraying with
cooling emulsion.
