Reasonably Foreseeable Misuse; Avoiding Misuse; Potential Dangers That Can Be Caused By The Lathe - Optimum optiturn TH 3610 Betriebsanleitung

WARNING!
Extremely severe injuries due to non-intended use.
It is forbidden to make any modifications or alternations to the operation values of the
lathe. They could endanger the personnel and cause damage to the lathe.
1.4

Reasonably foreseeable misuse

Any other use other than that specified under "Intended use" or any use beyond the described
use shall be deemed as non-intended use and is not permissible.
Any other use has to be discussed with the manufacturer.
The lathe must not be used to process metal, cold and non-inflammable materials.
In order to avoid misuse, it is necessary to read and understand the operating instructions
before the first commissioning.
The operators must be qualified.
1.4.1

Avoiding misuse


Use of suitable cutting tools.

Do not create in processing any continuous chips. Adjust the cutting speed when continu-
ous chips are produced. Adapting the speed adjustment and feed to the material and work-
piece.

Insert the workpiece tightly, without vibration and without one-sided imbalances.

The machine is not designed for the use of hand tools (e.g. emery cloth or files). It is forbid-
den to use any hand tools on this machine.

The machine is not suitable for attachment kits for cylindrical grinding. When mounting
attachment kits for cylindrical grinding, additional protective devices must be fitted.

The machine is not designed to allow long parts to protrude beyond the spindle hole. If
longer parts have to protrude beyond the spindle hole, an additional operator-side, perma-
nent device must be mounted, which completely covers the protruding part and provides
complete protection against spinning parts.

Long workpieces must be propped up. Use the steady rest or follow rest in conjunction with
the tailstock spindle to support longer parts and prevent the workpiece from flapping around
and flying away.

Risk of fire and explosion due to the use of flammable materials or cooling lubricants.
Before processing inflammable materials (e.g. aluminium, magnesium) or using inflamma-
ble auxiliary materials (e.g. spirit), it is necessary to take additional preventive measures in
order to avoid health risks.

When processing carbons, graphite and carbon-fibre-reinforced carbons, the machine is no
longer being used as intended. When processing carbons, graphite and carbon-fibre-rein-
forced carbons and similar materials, the machine can be damaged quickly, even if the
dusts generated are completely sucked out during the work process.

The processing of plastics with the lathe leads to static charge. The static charge of
machine parts from processing plastics cannot be safely conducted away from the lathe.

When using lathe dogs as carriers for rotating workpieces between the lathe centres, the
standard lathe chuck shield must be replaced with a circular lathe chuck shield.
1.5

Potential dangers that can be caused by the lathe

The lathe has been tested for operational safety. The construction and type are state of the art.
Nevertheless, there is a residual risk as the lathe operates with

high revolutions,

with rotating parts,

electrical voltage and currents,
