PERMITTED USE - The drill press must be used to drill metal, wooden and plastic elements.
A special clamp for a drill press can be used on the workbench.
UNINTENDED USE - IT is forbidden to:
• drill materials diff erent from those listed in the "PERMITTED USE";
• use the machine as a supporting base.
• operate on organic materials and/or food stuff s;
• operate on materials which may release toxic substances during the work process;
• use any type of lubricant during drilling.
This machine is not suitable for use in potentially explosive environments.
RESIDUAL RISKS
DANGER OF ACCIDENT - In the event of accidental contact of body parts with the tool when
operating, fragments detached from the processed piece, or breakage of the tool.
Precautions to be taken
• Keep hands away from the work area.
• When working with the tool, always wear the necessary personal protective equipment:
safety goggles, safety shoes.
DANGER OF CRUSHING - If the base was not secured to the fl oor, the machine may become
unstable.
Precautions to be taken
• Never remove drillings or fragments from the machine when the drill bit is still in movement.
• When working with the tool, always wear the necessary personal protective equipment:
safety goggles, safety shoes.
INFORMATION CONCERNING NOISE - The noise values indicated are emission levels and
not necessarily safe operating levels. While there is a correlation between emission levels
and exposure levels, this cannot reliably be used to determine whether or not further safety
precautions are needed. Factors which infl uence the real level of a worker's exposure include
the duration of exposure, the characteristics of the working environment, other sources of
noise, for example the number of machines or operations being carried out in the near vicinity.
Furthermore, levels of safe exposure may be fi xed diff erently from one country to another. This
information does however help the machine user to better assess the hazards and risks.
It is advisable to use suitable hearing protection such as earmuff s or ear plugs.
INFORMATION ON ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY - Electromagnetic emissions
from the machine do not exceed the limits defi ned by the relative standards for the envisaged
conditions of use.
Check that the power supply system is equipped with a thermomegnetic circuit breaker
to protect all conductors from short circuit and overloads.
Vibrations - The mean frequency-weighted r.m.s. hand-arm acceleration value in normal drilling
conditions using correctly sharpened drill bits, is less than 2.5 m/sec
Test measurements were carried out in accordance with Standards EN ISO 5349-1 and EN ISO 5349-2.
Vibrations during real machine use may diff er from those declared as the total vibration value
depends very much on how the machine is used.
It is therefore necessary to identify the most appropriate safety measurements to safeguard the
operator based on estimated exposure times and real conditions of use.
