read and fully understood the instructions.
The operating instructions must be kept at
hand together with the product for future
reference.
The operating instructions are part of the
product and must accompany the product
when selling it.
The described product was manufactured
according to the state of the art.
Risks may, however, arise from inappropriate
usage of the product and may result in harm
to persons or damage to material assets.
Any malfunctions which may affect safety
must be remedied immediately. In addition
to these Instructions, general statutory reg-
ulations and other regulations for accident
prevention and environmental protection
must be observed.
1.2 General behaviour when handling the
product
o The product may be used only in proper
technical condition and according to the
information in these instructions.
o Technical personnel must familiar-
ize themselves with the functions and
operation of the product. The specified
assembly and operating steps and their
sequences must be observed.
o Any unclear points regarding proper
condition or correct assembly/ operation
must be clarified. Operation is prohibited
until issues have been clarified.
o Keep unauthorized persons away from
the product.
o Clearly define and observe responsibilities
for different activities. Uncertainty seriously
endangers safety.
o Protective and safety equipment must
not be removed, modified or affected
otherwise in their function and are to be
checked at regular intervals for complete-
ness and function.
If protective and safety equipment has to
be dismantled, it must be reassembled
immediately after finishing the work, and
then checked for correct function.
o Remedy occurring faults in the frame of
responsibilities. Immediately inform the
owner of the system or machine in the
case of faults beyond your competence.
o Wear personal protective equipment
always.
o When handling lubricants or operating
materials, adhere to the respective safety
data sheets.
o For the internal lubrication only rotary
transmissions designed for dry running
conditions may be used.

o Only lubricants approved for a use in
minimal quantity lubrication systems may
be supplied.
1.3 Qualified technical personnel
Only qualified technical personnel may in-
stall, operate, maintain, and repair the prod-
ucts described in this document.
Such persons are familiar with the relevant
standards, rules, accident prevention regu-
lations, and assembly conditions as a result
of their training, experience, and instruction.
They are qualified to carry out the required
activities and in doing so recognize and
avoid any potential hazards. The definition
of qualified personnel and the prohibition
against employing non-qualified personnel
are laid down in DIN VDE 0105 and IEC 364.
In countries outside of the scope of the
IEC364 legislation there apply the country-
specific qualifications of qualified technical
personnel.
The country-specific definitions of qualified
technical personnel
The core principles of these country-specific
qualification requirements for technical per-
sonnel must not be below those of the two
standards mentioned above.
The operator of the final product is
responsible
for assigning tasks and areas of
responsibility.
The personnel must be trained and in-
structed, if they do not possess the required
knowledge.
Product training can also be performed by
SKF in exchange for costs incurred.

WARNING
Electric shock
Assembly, maintenance, and
repair works may be performed
by qualified and authorized
personnel.
Prior to performing work, the
product and the MMS system
must be disconnected from the
power supply.
Thereby the local connection con-
ditions and legal prescriptions (e.g.
DIN, VDE) have to be observed.
WARNING
System pressure
Hydraulic pressure
Lubrication systems are pressur-
ized during operation. Prior to
performing assembly, mainte-
nance or repair works on the
MMS system and AM1000 make
sure to depressurize both systems.
WARNING
System pressure
Lubrication systems are pressurized
during operation.
Prior to performing assembly,
maintenance or repair works on the
MMS system and AM1000 make
sure to depressurize both systems.
Depending on its version, the minimal
quantity lubrication system can be operated
with compressed air. The compressed air
must correspond at least to grade 5
following ISO 8573-1:
o Max. particle size/ particle density
40 µm / 10 mg/m³
o Pressure dew point 7°C
o Max. water content 7.800 mg/m³
o Max. residual oil content 25 mg/m³
WARNING
Laser beam
eye damage
Work on the open AM1000 is
permitted only when the unit is
deenergized.
