Danger
1 Safety instructions
1.1 General information
The device complies with the applicable safety regulations and standards. Special attention
has been paid to the safety of the user.
For the user are additional valid the:
•Relevant accident prevention regulations,
•General accepted safety related norms,
•EG-norms or other country specific regulations.
1.1.1 Usage as agreed upon
The intended use includes the procedure according to these operating instructions. The
device may only be operated within the limits of the specified data.
(see chapter: "Technical Data").
1.1.2 Usage other than agreed upon
To use the machine in different ambient conditions as mentioned in the chapter “Operation
conditions” ask the manufacturer.
1.1.3 Modifications and alterations
Based on security reasons it is not allowed to do alterations and changes at the machine and
its functions.
Changings at the machine which are not allowed by the manufacturer are followed by the
exclusion of liability to the company Taurox e. K.
1.1.4 Repairs and servicing
It is not allowed to repair the machine by the user. The machine has no parts which can be
repaired by the user.
The machine has to be send to Taurox e. K. for repair.
1.1.5 Decommissioning and disposing
For the decommissioning and the disposal, the environment regulations are valid of the
country the user company is placed.
1.2 Ensure your own safety / emergency stop
•Disconnect the machine of the power supply system before starting
maintenance work. This avoids accidents based on electrical voltage and
movable parts.
Please see chapter „ Residual dangers “
•It is not allowed to override or avoid protection- and safety devices like
protection cover and machine cover parts or thermic protection switches,
emergency stop switch and motor switch.
•Dismantled protections like i.e. machine cover, fuses, emergency stop
switch, motor protection switch, have to be reinstalled and to be checked
for a proper function.
•The Operating panel with emergency stop switch and motor switch has to
be installed in a convenient distance of the user!

Danger
Danger
1.2.1 Malfunctions
•In case of troubles or other damages immediately disconnect the machine
of the power supply system.
Pay attention to chapter „ Residual dangers “
•Report troubles or other damages immediately to a responsible person or
to the company Taurox e. K.
•Secure the device against misuse or accidental use.
1.2.2 Information signs and labels
•Obligatory intent letterings, signs and labels and let them be readable.
•Renew damaged or not any longer readable signs and label
1.2.3 Housing grounding (Earthing procedure)
The protective conductor must be connected to the protective contact plug (at
least 1.5mm²) and the bolt of the housing grounding (at least 10mm²) of the
control unit.
High leakage current! The leakage current is higher than 3.5mA.
It is not possible to use a fault Residual Current Device (RCD) to the power
supply.
Nevertheless a residual current protective device was installed, it switches the
machine off despite there is no malfunction.
If it is required to use the machine with a leakage current protector an isolation
transformer has to be used.
1.3 Residual dangers
1.3.1 Hazards during operation
Danger caused of high operation voltage!
Voltages up to DC 325 V appearing which are causing danger of life!
These voltages lead to muscular cramps, burnings, unconsciousness,
breathing arrest and death.
•During operation hold all parts of the machine closed.
•Do not open the machine.
Danger caused of hot surface!
During operation surfaces in the machine and tools can get hot.
The internal parts can reach a temperature up to 90°C.
•Never touch internal parts in the cool down phase after switch off.
•Never touch tools directly after operation in the cool down phase.
Danger in explosive substances areas!
•Do not use the machine in explosive substances areas.

Hinweis
Danger
Danger by mechanical force influence!
The machine has a circulating spindle and movable parts.
•Depending on application fix additional protection cover.
•Secure that in case of unwantedly moving of the spindle no personell
hazard can happen.
•Do not remove necessary protection covers.
•Do not wear gloves or loose clothing because of danger to hang in the
rotating working spindle.
•In case of too long hears wear a suitable headgear (hairnet).
•Always wear protective goggles.
•Never touch the rotating spindle.
•Before changing the tool switch off the drive spindle by the motor switch
off.
1.3.2 Hazards after power is turned off
Danger by electric shock!
Capacitors in the device carry dangerous residual voltages up to 5 minutes
after switching off the operating voltage.
•Always wait min. 5 minutes after switch of the machine before
disconnecting the machine of the power supply system.
•To open the machine wait min. 10 min. after switch off the machine before
disconnecting the machine of the power supper. (Only personal with
electro technical qualification are allowed to do).
1.4 Instructions on EMI
The machine is designed for use in industrial.
