It is recommended:
Insert the drill in a way that it is exactly positioned between the three clamping jaws of the
quick action chuck.
Clamp and mills by means of the collet chuck and the corresponding collets.
Clamp end face mills by means of shell end mill arbors.
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
in case of too strong pressure the drill will get worn early or even might break resp. get
jammed in the hole. If the drill gets jammed immediately stop the main motor by pressing
the emergency stop button,
for hard materials, e.g. steel, use commercial cooling / lubricating agents,
generally always drive the turning spindle out of the workpiece.
ATTENTION!
Do not use the quick action drill chuck for milling tools. Never clamp a milling cutter into
a quick action drill chuck. Use a collet chuck with collets for the end mill.
When milling make sure that
the corresponding cutting speed is selected,
for workpieces with normal strength values, e.g. steel 18-22 m/min,
for workpieces with high strength values 10-14 m/min,
the pressure is selected in a way that the cutting speed remains constant,
for hard materials commercial cooling / lubricating agents are used.

2.7.1 Emissions
Maximum sound pressure level at 1 m distance from the machine and 1.60 m above the ground
according to DIN ISO 8525 is 70 to 76 dB(A).
If the milling machine is installed in an area where various machines are in operation, the noise
exposure (immission) on the operator of the milling machine at the working place may exceed
80dB(A).
INFORMATION
This numerical value was measured on a new machine under proper operating conditions.
Depending on the age respectively on the wear of the machine it is possible that the noise
behaviour of the machine changes.
Furthermore, the factor of the noise emission is also depending on manufacturing influencing
factors, e.g. speed, material and clamping conditions.
INFORMATION
The mentioned numerical value is the emission level and 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:
Character istics of the working area, e.g. size or damping behaviour,
Other noise sources, e.g. the number of machines,
MF2 VarioGB
Version 1.3.0 dated 2016-12-16Page 18Original operating instructions

OPTIMUM
MASCHINEN - GERMANY
Other processes taking place in the 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 shall allow the operator of the machine to more easily evaluate the endangering and risks.
CAUTION!
Depending on the overall noise exposure and the basic limit values the machine
operators must wear an appropriate hearing protection.
We generally recommend to use a noise protection and a hearing protection.

3.9Electrical connection of machines with frequency converter
3.9.1 Regulated drives in connection with residual current devices
Speed-controlled drives are one of the st andard equipment in machine and plant constructio n
and perform various tasks. Compared to a simple motor, the elect ronic rectifiers or converters
require some special features for the necessary sa fety measures for el ectrical safety. Depe nding on the application, the use of a fault current protection device, differential current monitoring or insulation monitoring can make more sense.
For electrical safety, DIN VDE 0100-410 (VDE 0100 part 410): 1997-01 "Erection of heavy current installations up to 1000V" is a basic standard. It describes both, the admissible net forms
and the necessary protec tive measur es agai nst dangerous body currents. Based on this standard DIN EN 50178 (VDE 0160): 1998-04 "Equipping of heavy current systems with electronic
equipment" specifies the protective measures to be applied to controlled drives in more detail. It
calls for: "In the case of electronic equipment, the protection of persons against dangerous
body currents must be carried out in such a way that a single fault does not cause any danger ."
Regulated drives with residual current devices
The TN-S system is the most co mmon network fo rm for the operat ion of controlled drives. This
is done, among other things, for EMV reasons and to avoid vagabonding currents. In accordance with DIN VDE 0100-410 (VDE 0100-410): 1997-01, fault current protective devices
(ELCB) can be used as a protective measure against dangerous body currents. According to
DIN VDE 0100-482 (VDE 0100 part 482): 2003-06 "Electrical installations of buildings", cables
and wiring systems in fire-endangered plants must be protected by ELCBs with a rated differential current of 300 mA. According to IEC 60755, ELCBs differ in the type of fault currents they
can detect. In conjunction with electronic devices currents with DC components may occur.
3.9.2 Protection from Dangerous Shock Currents, use of ELCBs
To achieve increased safety in all installation systems, and in power supply ranges for which
the installation provisions stipulate or recommend the ELCB devices.
Measure for “Protection from Dangerous Shock Currents”, as regulated in DIN VDE 0100 Part
410. All measures are to be mentioned:
Protection from indir ect contact – as p rotection against fault by shutting down in the event of
inadmissibly high contact voltage by short circuit shock on the operating resource.
Protection from direct contact – as additional protection by shutting down in the event of
contact with a live conductor. Dangerous shock currents are shut down within the shortest
possible time, if the rated fault current of the circuit breaker is 30 mA, for a personal protection system 10 mA.
Fire prevention – Prevention of the origination of electrically-ignited fires if the rated fault
current of the circuit breaker is 300 mA. Operating premises at risk of fire to VdS 2033:
2002-02 300 mA.
3.9.3 Current in the protective earth conductor - Leakage current
With EMC filters in frequency converters, the leakage current is always greater than 3.5 mA
due to physics. Some types of frequency converters also achieve a leakage current of up to
300mA.
Therefore, a fixed earth connection is required and the minimum cross section of the protective
earthing conductor must conform to local safety regulations for devices with high leakage current. This is achieved by prov iding a permanent fixed earthing connection with two independent conductors, each having a cross section the same as the power supply cord or greater.
Preferably, machines with frequency converters are therefore to be permanently connected to a
terminal box, otherwise an additional fixed earth connection is required, which is not routed
over the plug, and must correspond to at least the cross-section of the cable in the plug.
Converter-plus-ELCB-plus-EMV_GB.fm
GB
Version 1.3.0 dated 2016-12-16Page 25
Page 28
OPTIMUM
MASCHINEN - GERMANY
Since a direct current may be caused by the frequency converter in the protective earthing conductor, if an upstream residual current device (ELCB / RCD) is required in the network, the following guidelines must be followed:
To avoid an operating fault, you need an AC/DC-sensitive ELCB. Be absolutely sure
which leakage current security is necessary for dangerous body currents, as regulated
in DIN VDE 0100 part 410, at your mains connection.
3.9.4 When the ELCB triggers
Pulse current - sensitive ELCB type A
ELCB type A independent of rated voltage, for triggering when changing fault currents and pulsing DC fault currents.
AC/DC - sensitive ELCB type B
ELCBs of series type B also accept the detection of smooth AC fault currents as well as the detection of fault current shapes of type A; they are
therefore suitable for all the circuits mentioned. ELCBs of this series therefore detect all
types of fault current according to the triggering characteristic B, i.e. both smooth DC fault
currents and also all AC fault currents of all frequencies and mixed frequencies up to 1 MHz
are detected and switched off reliably in the event of a fault.
Alternating current - sensitive ELCBs of type AC (only alternating current) are
unsuitable for frequency converters. Alternating current - sensitive ELCBs of type
AC are not customarily used and are no longer permitted in Germany.
Type B must be used with 3-phase converters.
When using an external EMC filter, to avoid false er ror shutdowns, a time delay of at least 50
ms is required. The leakage current can exceed the threshold trigger value for an error shutdown if the phases are not switched on at the same time.

5.6Cooling 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 p erceivable change in the appearance, odour, floating oil or increase of the bacte-
ria to more than 10/6/ml
there is an incr ease 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 rat ios, 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.
