clamping bolt in case of rotation of the chuck.

The brass cover caps (accessory) of the clamping bolt must only

be used for stationary use of the chuck.

CAUTION

Danger of slipping and falling in case of dirty environment

where the chuck is used (e.g. by cooling lubricants or oil).

•Ensure that the working environment is clean before starting

assembly and installation work.

•Wear suitable safety shoes.

•Follow the safety and accident-prevention regulations when

operating the chuck, especially when working with machine

tools and other technical equipment.

Basic safety instructions

noise generation.

Physical and mental strains due to imbalanced workpieces and

noise during the machining process on the clamped and rotating

workpiece.

•Ensure the chuck's axial and concentric runout.

•Check options for remedying imbalances on special top jaws

and workpieces.

•Reduce the speed.

•Wear hearing protection.

Notes on safe operation

•The machine spindle should only be started when the
