The installer and the operator must also be aware of the risks associated with other types of risk, especially
with foreign bodies, explosions, flammable substances, toxic substances or high temperature gases.
Risks associated with maintenance operations must also be prevented. Maintenance must be carried out
when electospindle is completely stationary and shut off.
THE RISK OF INCORRECT USE AND OPERATION
It is absolutely forbidden to disconnect, remove, modify or in any other way deactivate any safety,
protection or monitoring device, both relating to individual devices and to the electrospindle as a whole.
Do not place your hands, arms or any other parts of the body in the vicinity of moving parts.
The use of the electrospindle in atmospheres or environments with the risk of explosion is forbidden.
It is forbidden for an unauthorized operator to eliminate possible defects or faults in the functioning of
the electrospindle and/or to change the type of operation and installation.
After carrying out any special operations involving the removal of guards, barriers or other protective
devices, install these again before restarting the electrospindle and check that they are correctly
positioned and functioning efficiently.
All the protective and safety devices must be maintained in a perfect and efficient condition at all times.
The plates with indications, recommendations and danger warnings must be kept in place and fully
efficient.
When looking for the cause of any fault or malfunction of the electrospindle, take all the precautions
described in the manual in order to avoid personal injury or damage to equipment.
Remember to tighten all screws, bolts or ring nuts of all mechanical control or adjustment elements.
Before starting up the electrospindle, ensure that all the safety devices are installed and in proper
functional order; if this is not the case, it is absolutely forbidden to start it up, and the person
responsible for internal safety or the section head must be informed immediately.
The operator must be equipped with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in accordance with the
provisions of the laws in force; wearing loose clothes and various accessories (ties, wide sleeves, etc.)
is forbidden.
It is absolutely forbidden to use types of tool holder that do not correspond to the models defined in
the manual; this would cause the risk of breakage or imperfect hook-up of the tool holder cone.
SPECIFIC RISKS DURING ELECTROSPINDLE MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the product from the main power supply before carrying out any maintenance operations!
Even when the product is disconnected from the power supply, the rotating parts (and moving parts in
general) can nevertheless move, due to their inertia; before carrying out maintenance operations therefore,
check that the moving parts of the product are at a standstill.
Warning: do not:
Start any maintenance work before the cutting tool in the electrospindle is completely stationary.
No maintenance work has been started before the electrospindle is disconnected from the main power
supply.
Try to clean it when the electrospindle is running.
