WARNING!
Extremely severe injuries.
It is forbidden to make any modifications or alternations to the operation values of the
radial drilling machine! They could endanger the personnel and cause damage to the
radial drilling machine.
1.4Reasonably foreseeable misuse
Any use other than that specified under "Intended use" or any use beyond that described will be
deemed non-intended use and is not permissible.
Any other use must be discussed with the manufacturer.
It is only allowed to process metal, cold and non-inflammable materials with the radial drilling
machine.
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.
Adapting the speed setting and feed to the material and workpiece.
Clamp workpieces firmly and free of vibration.
Pull out the suitable length of shift rod. When shift rod comes into contact with something or
when the workpiece or the clamp breaks loose, the machine must shut down.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by flying workpieces.
The workpiece is always to be fixed by a machine vice, jaw chuck or by another
appropriate clamping tool such as for the clamping claws.
Clamp the workpiece in the machine vice. Make sure that the workpiece is firmly clamped in the
machine vice and that the machine vice is firmly clamped onto the machine table.
Use cooling and lubricating agents to increase the durability of the tool and to improve the
surface quality.
Clamp the cutting tools and workpieces on clean clamping surfaces.
Sufficiently lubricate the machine.
Recommendations:
Insert the drill in a way that it is exactly positioned between the three clamping jaws of the
quick action chuck.
When drilling, make sure that
the suitable speed is set depending on the diameter of the drill,
the pressure must only be such that the drill can cut without load,
if there is too much pressure, the drill will wear quickly and may even break or jam in the
borehole. If the drill jams, immediately stop the main motor by pressing the emergency stop
switch,
use commercial cooling/lubricating agents for hard materials, e.g. steel and
generally always back the spindle out of the workpiece while it is still turning.

2.6.4 Fixing
WARNING!
In order to provide for the necessary stability of the radial drilling machine connect the
machine with its foot to the substructure.
Use the threaded rods supplied. The threaded rods must be bent on their end by 90 degrees,
red hot, to obtain the required anchoring safety in the base. We recommend you use anchor
bolts DIN 529 M16 x 250, so that the enclosed threaded rods do not have to be prepared.
Fix the foot of the radial drilling machine to the substructure with the provided through-
holes.

2.8.1 One-component paint
The radial drilling machine is lacquered with a one-component paint. Observe this fact when
selecting your cooling lubricant and cleaning of the radial drilling machine.
A one-component lacquer with solvent part hardens when the solvent evaporates.
As soon as the lacquer is applied the solvent evaporates into the air. The binder becomes
felted and a dry film is formed. This process is reversible, i.e. the binder can be etched again
and again.
A two-component paint also consists of binding agent and solvent. However, the paint only
dries when a setting agent is added. This process is not reversible, i.e. the binding agent cannot be re-softened.
The company Optimum Maschinen Germany GmbH does not assume any guarantee for subsequent damages due to unsuitable cooling lubricants.
2.9Transport locking devices
Remove transport locks.
Remove beam to support the cantilever.
2.10Cleaning and lubrication
Remove the anti-corrosive agents on the radial drilling machine which had been applied for
transportation and storage. We recommend you use paraffin for this purpose.
Do not use any solvents, thinner or other cleaning agents which could corrode the varnish
on the radial drilling machine. Observe the cleaning agent manufacturer's information and
notes.
Grease all exposed machine parts using an acid-free lubricating oil.
Lubricate the radial drilling machine according to the lubricating plan.

3.13Coolant equipment
WARNING!
Discharge and overflow of cooling lubricants and lubricants Make sure you do not get
the cooling lubricants on the floor. Spilled on the floor cooling agents must be removed
immediately.
Due to friction heat caused by the rotation movement high temperatures are generated on the
cutting edge of the tool.
Cool down the tool while drilling. In this way you attain better working results and a longer durability of the tools.
Adjust the flow using the shut-off and dosing tap.
ATTENTION!
Destruction of the pump due dry running.
The pump is lubricated by the cooling agent. Do not operate the pump without coolant.
INFORMATION
Use a water-soluble and non-pollutant emulsion as a cooling agent.This can be acquired from
authorised distributors.
Make sure that the cooling agent is being collected.
Respect the environment when disposing of lubricants and coolants.

This numerical value was measured on a new machine under the operating conditions specified
by the manufacturer. The noise behaviour of the machine might change depending on the age
and wear of the machine.
Furthermore, the noise emission also depends on production engineering factors, e.g. speed,
material and clamping conditions.
INFORMATION
The specified numerical value represents the emission level and does not necessarily a safe
working level.
Though there is a dependency between the degree of the noise emission and the degree of the
noise disturbance it is not possible to use it reliably to determine if further precaution measures
are required or not.
The following factors influence the actual degree of the noise exposure of the operator:
Characteristics of the working area, e.g. size of damping behaviour,
other noise sources, e.g. the number of machines,
other processes taking place in proximity and the period of time, during which the operator
is exposed to the noise.

Furthermore, it is possible that the admissible exposure level might be different from country to
country due to national regulations.
This information about the noise emission should, however, allow the operator of the machine
to more easily evaluate the hazards and risks.
CAUTION!
Depending on the overall noise exposure and the basic threshold values, machine
operators must wear appropriate hearing protection.
We generally recommend the use of noise and ear protection.

6.10Cooling lubricants and tanks
CAUTION!
The cooling lubricant can cause diseases. Avoid direct contact with cooling lubricant or
parts covered in cooling lubricant.
Cooling lubricant circuits and tanks for water-cooling lubricant mixtures must be completely
emptied, cleaned and disinfected as needed, but at least once per year or every time the cooling lubricant is replaced.
If fine chips and other foreign matters are accumulated in the coolant tank, the machine can no
longer be correctly supplied with coolant. Furthermore, the lifetime of the coolant pump is
reduced.
When processing cast iron or similar materials generating fine chips, cleaning the coolant tank
more often is recommended.
Limit values
The cooling lubricant must be replaced, the cooling lubricant circuit and tank emptied,
cleaned and disinfected if
the pH value drops by more than 1 based on the value during initial filling. The maximum
permissible pH value during initial filing is 9.3
there is a perceivable change in the appearance, odour, floating oil or increase of the bacte-
ria to more than 10/6/ml
there is an increase in nitrite content to more than 20 ppm (mg/1) or nitrate content to more
than 50 ppm (mg/1)
there is an increase in the N-nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA) to more than 5 ppm (mg/a)
CAUTION!
Comply with the manufacturer's specifications for mixture ratios, hazardous substances,
e.g. system cleaners, including their permissible minimum use times.
CAUTION!
Since the cooling lubricant escapes under high pressure, pumping out the coolant by
using the existing cooling lubricant pump via a pressure hose into a suitable tank is not
recommended.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
During work on the cooling lubricant equipment please make sure that
collector tanks are used with sufficient capacity for the amount of liquid to be col-
lected.
liquids and oils should not be spilled on the ground.
Clean up any spilled liquid or oils immediately using proper oil-absorption methods and dispose of them in accordance with current statutory environmental regulations.
Collect leakages
Do not re-introduce liquids spilled outside the system during repair or as a result of leakage
from the reserve tank, instead collect them in a collecting container for disposal.
Disposal
Never dump oil or other substances which are harmful to the environment into water inlets, rivers or channels. Used oils must be delivered to a collection centre. Consult your supervisor if
you do not know where the collection centre is.
