Safety
Safety instructions and safety equipment serve to prevent accidents and
damage when working on the Lathe chuck. The safety instructions contain
warnings and basic safety instructions. In addition to the safety instructions
in this chapter, the following chapters contain action-related warnings.
Maximum protection of personnel and the environment from dangers and
trouble-free operation is only possible when all safety instructions and
warnings in this operating manual are observed.
2.1
General Dangers
When using the device there is a special potential of residual risks
▪ during assembly and set-up work,
▪ during operation and
▪ during maintenance and service work.
This potential risk cannot be completely eliminated considering the func-
tional availability of the operating manual. Therefore, all individual regula-
tions of this Operating manual are to be observed.
2.1.1
Dangers due to Flying Parts
During operation, the connection between the clamped workpiece and the
Lathe chuck DURO-M may become loose due to mechanical failure (e.g.
due to defective parts) or incorrect operation (e.g. excessive speed). The
workpiece may then fly out and cause serious crushing and impact injuries.
To prevent cutting and crushing injuries, ensure perfect functioning of the
Lathe chuck DURO-M before each operation. Also ensure that unauthorised
persons cannot rotate the Lathe chuck DURO-M unintentionally.
2.1.2
Skin Irritation due to Operating Materials
The lubricant consists of substances which may lead to skin irritations in
the event of frequent skin contact.
In order to minimise the risk of skin irritations, wear long work clothing and
avoid contact with the lubricant. Also observe the safety data sheet of the
lubricant and wear safety goggles and protective gloves during mainten-
ance work when handling lubricants.
2.1.3
Eye Injuries due to Metal Chips
Dangerous metal chips may be produced during machining of metal. During
operation or when cleaning the Lathe chuck DURO-M, sharp metal chips
may be stirred up and cause eye injuries and cuts.
To prevent eye injuries and cuts, wear personal protective equipment during
operation and cleaning work. Cleaning with compressed air or a high-pres-
sure cleaner is not permitted.
