5 MACHINE OPERATION
5.1 OPERATOR
WARNING: The improper operation of the machine and its components can result in severe injuries
or material damages. Therefore, please observe the accident prevention regulations!
CAUTION: Before the first use of the machine each operator must have read and understood the existing
instructions for the whole system (machine, system-guided tool, control, software).
5.2 WORK PIECE
The work piece can be directly fixed on the machine table by means of the integrated clamping system.
Alternatively e.g. a steel vice can be fixed on the machine table.
In case of through-milling (cutouts) it is recommended to position a MDF plate with a thickness of 6.0 mm / 0.24
inch underneath the work piece in order to avoid damages on the machine table.
NOTICE: The work piece should be sufficiently fixed in order to avoid unintentional slipping while processing it.
WARNING: Never hold the work piece only with the hand during the processing. There is a severe
risk of injury!
