General safety instructions & operating regulations
Reduced ability to act with insufficient lighting
In case of an insucient lighting your judgement and/or
your precision may be reduced.
h Make sure that the lighting in your working environment
issucient.
Risk of injury in case of malfunctions caused by
insufficient maintenance
If you do not maintain the machine as required, malfunctions
may occur which can lead to injuries.
h Take note of the intervals and conditions mentioned in
the maintenance table in the operating instructions.
Carry out the respective maintenance tasks accordingly.
Health risk through constant malpositioning
if your working environment is not sufficiently
ergonomic
Over the long run, an improper or one-sided positioning can
be a risk to your health.
h Set up an ergonomic working environment.
h Ensure that the seat height and monitor position is ideal
andthelightingissucient.
2.2 Operating regulations
If you violate the following regulations, you may lose your
entitlementtobenets.
NOTICE
Machine damage if you violate these regulations
If you violate the following regulations, your machine may get
damagedand/orcausedamageinthesurroundingarea(s).
h Thoroughly follow all instructions and information in
this section.
2.2.1 Intended use
The machine and the manufacturing software have been
designed for the commercial creation of dental objects by
specially trained persons. The objects require additional work
before their use on patients.
h Only process materials that you can select in the manu
-
facturing software.
h Only use the machine and manufacturing software in a
commercial environment.
h Before creating jobs, verify if the objects being pre
-
pared may be utilized at the place of use according to
local
and/ornationalregulationsorotherauthorized
organizations or entities (e.g. professional associations,
health authorities). In particular, verify if the materi
-
al is approved for the machined object type and if the
object type is designed in accordance with applicable
regulations. Neither the manuf
acturing software nor
the machine will inform you about possible regulatory
infringements, but will execute jobs in accordance with
the preferences and materials set by the user.
h Verify that each object type and each material in your
jobs are authorized manufacturing materials. If man
-
dated by local or national regulations, obtain relevant
authorization from the responsible or
ganizations or en-
tities (e.g. professional associations, health authorities).
h Only manufacture objects which correspond to the ob-
ject types that you can select in the manufacturing soft-
ware.
Whileyoucan import /  manufactureanyother
objects as well, neither the manufacturing software nor
the machine are designed for these other objects and
should not be used in this way.
h Do not manufacture implants or parts of objects that
are designed to have contact with implants. These parts
include parts of two-part abutments which contain the
connection geometry for the implant. Do not manipulate
the connection geometry of prefabricated abutments
(“prefababutments”)andyoumustalways checkn
-
ished objects for accurate connection geometries (i.e.
that
 connection geometries of nished jobs have not
been damaged).
2.2.2 Controlling the machine through software
You control the machine through specially designed applica-
tions which are supplied with the machine.
h Alwaysusethelatestprogramversionthatociallysup-
ports your machine.
h Before installing or operating the machine, read the doc-
umentation for the applications.
h Ensure that your CAM computer meets all system re-
quirements.
2.2.3 Maintenance and cleaning
Maintenance and cleaning is part of standard machine usage.
h Clean and maintain the machine as required. Only then
can the machine reach a long service life.
2.2.4 Spindle
The spindle of your machine is a high-precision instrument.
h Do not use unbalanced tools at high rotational speeds.
Such an imbalance puts a great strain on the spindle’s
ball bearings, which can cause the bearings to be dam
-
aged.
h When working in the working chamber, do not apply
manual pressure against the spindle.
2.2.5 Unattended operation
If the machine runs unattended, the risk of material damage
is increased.
