General safety rules

11. Danger points and danger zones

Danger points on the running machine must be made safe on
site by means of appropriate safety guards.
Never reach into a danger zone while the machine is running.
Always unplug from the mains power supply before
attempting any work on this machine.
Entering the danger zone in any impermissible way or when
the machine is running, and reaching into it, e.g. for cleaning,
setting or servicing work, may present the hazards described
below:
between moving and stationary
Risk of trapping
machine parts, e.g. machine units and
fingers
boundaries or safety guards
Risk of cutting
on tools
yourself
Risk of getting pul- on rotating machine parts or
led in machine units
Components falling, catapulted out, whiplas-
Parts moving in an
hing, and pneumatic
uncontrolled manner
machine movements or parts flying out
Dangerous shock currents resulting from
Electrical hazards direct or indirect contact with electrical
devices

12. Unloading and handling

Only use appropriate and approved lifting gear (crane) for
unloading the machine, assemblies and components as well
as for lifting heavy loads; to handle the machine internally,
only use industrial trucks wherever possible.
• Any unloading or internal handling must not be done by
hand if such involves weights in excess of 25 kg.
Danger!
Never stand or work under loads suspended on lifting
gear. This presents the risk of fatal injury.
Observe the following when using lifting gear:
• Only attach lifting gear at the points marked (lifting
eyebolts etc.) on the machine.
• Only use appropriate and tested load suspension devices
(lifting belts, ropes, chains, shackles etc.) with a sufficient
load carrying capacity.
• Only get experienced, skilled personnel to move the
machine.
• Always ensure level standing for machine / assemblies, lift
vertically, never drag at an angle.
Protect projecting machine parts and equipment from
damage when using lifting gear and moving the machine
internally.
Set down loads gently with the usual care and take
immediate action to prevent them from falling over /
tipping, rolling away, suffering damage from external force,
e.g. colliding with industrial trucks and objects falling from
above.

13. Installing and connecting the machine

• Get an expert to check the work benches for adequate
load-carrying capacity / stability before setting the machine
down at the point of installation.
• Make sure that setting-up / connecting work is not affected
by additional hazards at the site of installation.
• Do not install the machine near work areas where solvents
are used (e.g. paint shops).
Warning!
The machine must not be installed with its electrical
equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Thoroughly clean the standing surface. Remove (sweep up)
dirt, debris left over from building or assembly work.
• Lay cables and compressed-air lines so that no-one can
trip over them in work and trafficked areas. Cables or hoses
must not be kinked, nipped or worn through.
• Connecting pneumatic devices and equipment as well as
setting and repair work demands specialised knowledge
and must only be performed by appropriately trained and
qualified personnel.

14. Getting ready

Operating preparations, function check, trial run and set-up
work
Remember that it is not permitted to modify the machine
and do not fit any attachments that have not been tested
or approved by Hettich FurnTech GmbH & Co. KG. Any
change, no matter how minor, will lead to uncontrollable
malfunctions and result in considerable hazards and damage
to property.
When setting the machine or changing a tool, take
appropriate precautionary measures and work as instructed.
Take appropriate measures to prevent machine elements from
suddenly moving,
e.g. through unauthorised or inadvertent changes to switch
settings.
Before commencing any work, turn off the master or mains
switch and prevent it moving from the OFF position.
When performing set-up work or making settings:
• do not touch any components that are still being moved,
clamped or worked on by the machine and / or have not yet
finally released by it,
• never touch tools before the machine has finally shut down
and come to a complete standstill,
• do not touch any parts that are still hot from operation. The
surfaces of drilling units can reach a temperature of
approx. 80° C after the machine has been running for a
while.
Warning!
Wherever possible, perform all set-up or setting work
in the company of a supervising person who can switch
the machine off in the event of any hazard situation
suddenly occurring.
