Operating
instructions
- The
following
recommendations
for
safe
working methods
are
given
as
examples, additional
to the
information
on the
machine characteristics.
-
When working with
the
spindle
fence
or the
spindle, between
2
fixed
stops
and
when
tenoning, safety equipment must
be
used.
-
Nevertheless,
the
user
must
also
follow
the
operating instructions
in
order
to
avoid
accidents.
1.
Training
of
machine
users
It is
absolutely necessary
that
the
spindle-moulder user receives comprehensive training
regarding
operating
and
adjusting
the
machine.
In
particular
:
a)
the
risks involved
in
working with
the
machine;
b)
the
operating principles,
the
correct usage
and
adjustment
of the
machine;
c)
the
correct choice
of the
tools
for
each operation;
d)
the
safe
handling
of
parts
to be
machined;
e)
the
position
of the
hands
in
relation
to the
cutterblock;
f)
storing
the
pieces
in a
safe
way
before
and
after
machining them.
2.
Stability
In
order
to be
able
to use the
machine
in a
safe way.
it is
absolutely necessary
to
place
it in a
stable position
on the
ground
or
another
stable surface.
3.
Adjustment
and
installation
a)
Disconnect
the
machine
from
its
power
supply
before
every
j
b)
The
recommendations
of the
manufacturer
must
be followed
when
adjusting
and
installing
the
tools.
c)
The
tools
must
be
suited
to the
material
which
has to be
worked
in
order
to
assure
a
safe
and
efficient
usage.
The
tools
must
be
correctly
sharpened
and
installed,
with
toolholders
that
are
carefully
balanced.
4.
Handling
of
tools
In
order
to
avoid severe cuts, safety measures
must
be
taken when handling tools.
5.
Installing
tools
Special
equipment, such
as
tool setting gauges, must
be
only used when
the
machine
is not
operating. Table insert rings must
be
used
in
order
to
reduce
to a
minimum
the
space between
the
table
and the
spindle shaft.
6.
Rotation direction
and
choice
of
speeds
It is
very important
that
the
chosen tool turns
in the
right direction. When
the
piece
is
presen-
ted,
the
operator
must
take care
that
the
workpiece
is fed in the
correct direction
and
that
the
correct speed
has
been chosen.
The
speed must also
be
suited
to the
tool
on the
machine.
7.
Functioning
of the
machine,
choice
of
safety
equipment
and
adjustment
Because
of the
various tasks
that
can be
carried
out
with
the
various types
of
spindle shafts,
spindle
holders
and
cutterblocks,
different
types
of
safety
equipment
must
be
used.
Every
operation must
be
examined separately, then
the
correct guarding must
be
chosen.
The
minimal opening
in the
table also depends
on the
type
of
cutterblock, diameter
of the
kni-
ves and
height
in
which
the
cutterblock
is
adjusted. This
can be
done
by
using
the
table insert
