This product is intended solely for positioning and clamping

tombstones or clamping pallets on machine tools or other suitable

technical devices.

•The product may only be used within the scope of its technical

data, (3, Page 18).

•The product is intended for industrial and industry-oriented

use.

•Appropriate use of the product includes compliance with all

instructions in this manual.

Not intended use

The product is not being used as intended if, for example:

•It is used as a pressing tool, a toolholder, a load-handling device

or as lifting equipment.

•It is used for turning applications over 100 rpm without

consulting SCHUNK.

•It is used in working environments that are not permissible.

•People work on machines or technical equipment that do not

comply with the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC,

disregarding the applicable safety regulations.

•The technical data specified by the manufacturer are exceeded

during usage.

Constructional changes

Spare parts

Use of unauthorized spare parts

Using unauthorized spare parts can endanger personnel and

damage the product or cause it to malfunction.

•Use only original spare parts or spares authorized by SCHUNK.

Environmental and operating conditions

Required ambient conditions and operating conditions

Incorrect ambient and operating conditions can make the product

unsafe, leading to the risk of serious injuries, considerable material

damage and/or a significant reduction to the product's life span.

•Make sure that the product is used only in the context of its

defined application parameters, (3, Page 18).

•Make sure that the product is a sufficient size for the

application.

•Make sure that the contact surfaces of the interface are always

clean.

•Make absolutely sure that no chips of any kind can enter the

interface and that the interface fills with cooling emulsion,

which is particularly possible with a horizontal design of the

clamping station. The best way to ensure both of these

requirements is to use the SDE protection covers. If the

interface should fill with cooling emulsion, initiate the

unlocking process and allow the interface to dry out in an

actuated state or carefully blow out with compressed air using

suitable protective equipment.

•Only use high-quality cooling emulsions with anti-corrosive

additives during processing.
