Applies to: E3, E4

Emergency opening of the working chamber door

The figures in this description show the E4, but the relevant components of the E3 are identical or very similar. The described procedure applies for both machines.

CAUTION

Cutting injuries caused by rotating tools

If a power failure or a machine malfunction occurs during machining, the spindle including the inserted tool keeps rotating. If you touch the rotating tool, you will suffer from cutting injuries.

  • Wait until the spindle has stopped rotating before performing an emergency opening.
  • Do not carry out the emergency opening during regular operation.

Due to the safety interlock you can only open the working chamber door when the machine is supplied with power. In the event of a prolonged power failure, use the emergency release to access the working chamber.

The lever for the emergency release is located on the right underside of the machine.

 

  1. DANGER!Switch off the machine at the main power switch.

  2. Disconnect the machine from the eletrical source.

     

  3. Pull the lever for the emergency release to the front as far as it will go and hold it in this position.

  4. Open the working chamber door.

  5. Let go of the lever.

  6. CAUTION!Wear gloves.

  7. Carry out your work in the working chamber.

  8. Close the working chamber door.

    9. WARNING!Crushing hazard and cutting injuries when the working chamber door is unlocked during operation
