DESCRIPTION The pillar drill with flat worktable, turntable with vice or cross worktable (Fig.1/1) is designed to cold drill metals through the removing of metal by a rotating cutting tool. The drill mill (Fig.1/2) is designed to cold drill and mill metal materials through the removing of metal by a rotating cutting tool.
OPERATING MODES The drills described in this manual are classed as AUTOMATIC LOWERING DRILLS, as they allow to set the chuck assembly to lower automatically, so that the drill stops once the chosen depth has been reached. The machine has two operating modes: automatic and manual. ...
SAFETY PROPER USE As explained in the previous chapter, the drill described herein is a machine tool designed for the drilling, boring and tapping of metal materials through the removing of metal, within the specifications listed under Chapter 7 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
IMPROPER USE ALL USES OTHER THAN AS MENTIONED IN SECTION 2.1 ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED. In particular, IT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED TO CARRY OUT ANY MACHINING WORK, not even a quick job, WHILE THE PIECE IS NOT SAFELY SECURED TO THE WORKTABLE WITH MECHANICAL MEANS (brackets, vices, other fasteners, etc.) AND NEEDS TO BE HELD WITH A HAND.
PERSONAL PROTECTION 2.5.1 ANALYSIS OF RISKS AND SOLUTIONS ADOPTED 2.5.1.1 Emergency stop The emergency stop mushroom-head button is located on the control panel (3 - FIG.5/2). Pressing this button will cut off power to all auxiliary circuits. All movements will stop instantaneously and the machine will switch itself off. To be used again the drill must be restarted.
2.5.2 PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT All operators must comply with the general clothing rules for persons operating medium-to-large size machinery with moving parts, that is avoid wearing loose-fitting garments with loose sleeves, do not wear ties, belts, necklaces or other pendant jewellery, do not leave long hair down, wear closed safety footwear regardless of room temperature, etc.
OTHER RISKS Due to its design and the fact that it is used primarily for non-large scale operations, the pillar drill has not been equipped with a full work-area guard. However, the type of guard chosen (1-FIG.4/3) is meant to be adjusted to leave as little of the machining bit out as possible, depending on the type of work being carried out.
