1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Instruction Manual for Operation (hereafter called "the Manual") provides the operator with useful information on how to simplify
PANTERA use by operating it correctly and in safe conditions.
The sections below must not be considered as a long and burdensome list of warnings: they must be regarded as a number of in-
structions that improve machine performance and prevent damage to persons, objects or animals originating from incorrect machine
operation and use.
It is essential that each operator in charge of transporting, installing, commissioning, operating, maintaining, repairing and dismantling
the machine consults this manual and read it carefully before carrying out any operation. This will help him avoid incorrect manoeuvres
and prevent inconveniences that may jeopardise the machine integrity and eventually result in risks for operators' safety.
If you are still in doubt or have points to clear on machine operation after reading this manual, do not hesitate to contact the Manufacturer
who will be ready to assist you promptly and carefully for better and most effi cient machine operation.
Finally, we would like to point out that existing regulations on safety, hygiene at work and environmental protection must always be
adhered to during all the phases of machine operation. The operator must therefore check that the machine be operated exclusively
in optimised safety conditions for both persons and objects.
This manual is to be considered as an integral part of the product. Therefore, along with the Declaration of Conformity, it must be stored
in a safe place where it can be consulted during the entire machine life and passed on to the new owner.
This manual was drawn up according to the regulations existing at the time when it was printed.
The Manufacturer reserves the right to change the machine without having to promptly update this manual. In the event of
disputes, the valid version is the Italian text.
Some of the pictures in this manual show details or accessories which may be different from those fi tted in your machine. Components
or guards may have been removed to make images more useful.

1.1 GENERAL

Conventional symbols:
To identify and make different danger types recognisable, the following symbols are used in the manual:
WARNING!
WARNING!
DANGER FOR OPERATORS'
RISK OF DAMAGE TO MACHINE OR
HEALTH AND SAFETY.
DRILL PRODUCT.
In the text, symbols are accompanied by safety warning messages: these are short sentences to further exemplify the type of risk/
danger. Warning texts guarantee the safety of operators and prevent damage to the machine or drill product.
The drawings, pictures and diagrams in this manual are not scaled. They exemplify the information provided in the text and are an addi-
tion to it: they are not meant to illustrate the supplied machine in details. For a more comprehensive overview of the machine, drawings,
pictures and diagrams represent the machine, or parts of it, without the protections or guards in most cases.
Finally, a few words on annexes. As they are photocopies of catalogues, drawings, etc., they have the original ID and page numbers
(when provided with it). If they are not originally provided with a numbering, they are not given one.
