BASIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Version 1.0 9
2. Basic safety instructions
2.1. General safety instructions
– The deployment and application of the drilling and inserting machine may only be
undertaken as described in these operating instructions.
– The operating company of the drilling and inserting machine is responsible for
maintenance of application-related national and international health, work and
safety regulations. In addition, the operating company is obliged to ensure that all
operating personnel have been trained in the operation of the machine.
– Work on the electrical equipment may only be undertaken by authorised specialist
electricians.
– Protect yourself from electric shocks.
– The pneumatic and electrical connection lines are to be laid in an orderly fashion
and are to be protected against damage (e.g. inside cable ducts).
– Before beginning each working day, all safety equipment is to be checked for
completeness and function.
– Only replace damaged parts with original replacement parts!
– The machine is always to be separated from the electrical mains as well as from the
pneumatic compressed air supply for all maintenance, repair and adjustment tasks.
– The electrical master switch must always be set to 0 and the EMERGENCY STOP
button pressed after completion of work, before changing tools, when changing
gears, or for all work in the area of the tools.
– It is to be secured against re-starting by unauthorised persons.
– The permissible tools are described in chapter 4. For your own safety, only use
tools of correspond strength from the manufacturer's supply portfolio.
– Particular care is to be taken with large workpieces which project over the edges of
the machine table. It is necessary to mount a larger rest (accessories - table
extension) or to use additional supports for the workpieces.
– Shavings may not be blown-off, rather, they are to be extracted by means of
suitable equipment.
– Always keep the working area and the machine clean, untidiness and obstructed
working areas increase the risk of injury.
– Only use the machine in clean rooms, do not leave the machine outdoors,
especially never leave it outside in the rain.

Noise emission values
According to DIN EN ISO 11202 supplemented by CEN -TC 142, the
workplace emission value L
pA
amounts to:
idle running .......... dB(A)
Working noise 84.5 dB(A)
According to EN ISO 3746 supplemented by CEN -TC 142, the
sound power level L
WA
amounts to:
Idle running ...........dB(A)
Working noise 94.7 dB(A)
The measurement uncertainty constant K amounts to 4 dB(A).
The following supplements specified by CEN - TC142 in order to achieve an accuracy
class better than 3 dB were taken into consideration:
– The environmental corrective factors K
2A
and K
3A
amount to ≤4 dB.
– The difference between the foreign noise sound pressure level and the noise sound
pressure level at all measuring points is ≥6 dB.
– K
3A
is calculated according to appendix A, DIN EN ISO 11204.
– A rectangular enveloping measurement surface with 9 measuring points of
1.0 m from the reference surface is used.
Under consideration of ISO 7960 sections 0 to 4, the machine-specific conditions of
measurement were as follows:
Drill bit: 1xconcealedhinge drill bit
d=35mm; t=13mm n=2750 min
-1
2x dowel drill bits d= 8mm; t=13mm n=2750 min
-1
Workpiece: Uncoated chipboard
Microphone position: 1m distance form the centre of the bore axis at a height of 1.5m.
Note
The values given here are emission values and may not simultaneously represent safe
working area values. As there is no correlation between emission values and working
area values, these cannot be reliably used in order to determine whether or not
additional precautions are required. Factors which could affect the current working
area values include the duration of the influence, the characteristics of the working
space, other sources of noise, the number of machines and other neighbouring
influences. The reliable working area values can also vary from one country to another.
However, this information should enable the operator to make a better estimation of
the potential hazards and risks.
3.3. Machine identification
The machine is equipped with a type plate which details the following:
– machine type
– machine number
– year of manufacture
– weight
– the required compressed air.

PERMISSIBLE WORKPIECES
Version 1.0 19
5. Permissible workpieces
Warning!
Hazards for both the machine and its users can occur in the event that
impermissible workpieces are used!
The operator is responsible
– for any damage resulting from such,
– and the manufacturer accepts no liability.
5.1. Permissible materials
Only workpieces made from
– wood (solid wood) or
– wood-like materials (wood-based composite materials) may be processed.
Other materials may not be processed.
5.2. Permissible workpiece dimensions
The workpieces must be laid stably and securely on the machine table, without the
need for the operator to hold onto the workpieces in order to prevent them from falling
down. This unconstrained positioning (without being held by the user) is a requirement
for the safe operation of the machine and must be ensured by means of the user.
– The maximum workpiece thickness is 40 mm.
– If the workpieces are larger than 300 x 300 mm, then they must be positioned on
bolsters placed next to the machine such as supports or similar devices.
The manufacturer offers table and guide extensions as optional accessories for this
purpose.
