The personnel charged with duties related to the drilling ma-
chine vice must have read the operating instructions and in
particular the chapter entitled ”Safety Requirements”.
When machining parts, safety largely depends on proper
use and workmanlike handling of the clamping tool.
Unworkmanlike handling and machining may impair the
function of the drilling machine vice. Inadequately clamped
workpieces may be flung out of the machine and cause inju-
ries to personnel.
1. Proper mounting, operation and maintenance are es-
sential requirements.
2. A drilling machine vice which is not handled correctly
constitutes a potential source of danger.
3. The operator must satisfy himself of the perfect condi-
tion of the drilling machine vice before putting it into
operation.
4. Any operation which is not perfectly safe must be
avoided.
5. Any changes affecting the safety of work with the dril-
ling machine vice must be immediately reported by
the operator.
6. Changes or conversions affecting the safety of the
drilling machine vice are not permitted.
7. Only the manufacturer’s original space parts may be
used for repairs or reconditioning work. All repairs
must be carried out by skilled personnel.
8. The codes of practice and rules for the prevention of
accidents in force in the country of use must be ob-
served.
9. The applicable European or national regulations for
machinery must be complied with.
10.The general, legal and other mandatory regulations
for the prevention of accidents must be observed in
addition to the operating instructions.
11.The information and recommendations contained in
the operating instructions must be strictly observed.
12.Unless specified otherwise, the work must be always
be clamped by turning the handcrank clockwise. If the
handcrank is turned anti-clockwise, the work is no lon-
ger held securely and constitutes a hazard for person-
nel and the drilling machine vice.
13.The vice must always be mounted on a stable base
which is not easily deformed.
14.The clamps and mounting bolts must be fitted as des-
cribed in the operating instructions.
15.If the vice has not been used for a prolonged period of
time, it must be checked for proper functioning before
it is put into operation. As a rule, this should include a
check of the clamping force and capacity range.
16.Flexible workpieces and insufficient clamping forces
may cause injuries if insecurely held parts are flung
out of the machine.
The drilling machine vice may only be used for clam-
ping rigid workpieces.
17.Extra high or extra long workpieces must be secured
with the aid of suitable auxiliaries, such as stops or
pads. Special clamping jaws or clamping at several
points may be necessary to avoid vibrations.
1. Safety Requirements and Rules and Regulations
for the Use of Drilling Machine Vices
!!! The following requirements must be met before the drilling machine vice is put into operation:
2. Precautions
S The vice may only be used for clamping rigid
workpieces.
S Flexible workpieces and insufficient clamping for-
ces may cause injuries if insecurely held parts or
tools are flung out of the machine.
S Unless specified otherwise, workpieces always
turn the handcrank clockwise to clamp the work.
If the handcrank is turned anti-clockwise, the
work is no longer held securely and constitutes a
hazard for personnel, the environment and the
drilling machine vice.
3. Preparations for use
D
The drilling machine vice is ready for use
as delivered.
S Remove the coating applied by the factory for
temporary protection against corrosion.
