Safety devices serve to protect persons and material. Without intact safety devices serious injuries can occur.
Danger!
The pillar drill may only be operated with functioning safety devices. Switch off the machine
immediately if you discover that a safety device is faulty or disassembled. All additional
systems installed by the operator must be equipped with the prescribed safety devices.
Chuck guard
Your NOVA VOYAGER DVR pillar drill is equipped with a chuck guard.
As soon as the cover is opened, the safety device is triggered and it is no longer
possible to operate. The motor cannot be restarted until the chuck guard is
closed. There is no need to perform any operation on the control panel. The
pillar drill will automatically detect when the guard is opened or closed and
react accordingly.
Note: The chuck guard functionality is included in firmware version R2P05x.
Make sure to have the chuck guard covering at least the entire chuck.
Any defects found of the safety equipment must be rectified immediately.
Check safety equipment daily to ensure correct functionality.
EMERGENCY STOP function
The EMERGENCY STOP push button is located on the front of the pillar drill.
To release the EMERGENCY STOP button, turn the button in the direction of
the arrow.
Furthermore, an under voltage protection prevents the pillar drill from
restarting after a power failure.
