2.2 Built-in safety devices
The instrument is equipped with the following safety devices:
Plexiglass protective cover
• The miller is equipped with a protective cover made of plexiglass (1).
When the cover is moved to the upper limit position (1, Fig. 2.1) the miller
is automatically blocked and cannot be started.
For any manipulations in the milling area (such as inserting millers, fine
adjustment of specimen height etc.) the protective cover (1, Fig. 2.1) must
be in the upper limit position.
To be able to start the miller, the protective cover must be lowered (1,
Fig. 2.2).
Never touch the milling spindle while the plexiglass cover is shut,
no matter whether the spindle is rotating or not.
Important note on the safety devices built in by the manufacturer:
The safety devices provided by the manufacturer constitute only a basis for
accident prevention.
Major responsibility for accident prevention during the use of the instrument
rests with the employer who has the operating authority for the instrument

and repair the instrument.
To ensure safe and trouble-free operation of the instrument, be sure to
comply with all instructions, warning and cautions in this supplementary
