• People work on machines or technical equipment that do not
comply with the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, disre-
garding the applicable safety regulations.
• The technical data specified by the manufacturer for using the
chuck are exceeded.
Notes on particular risks
DANGER
Risk of fatal injury to operating personnel due to the workpiece
falling down or being flung out in the event of a power failure
In the event of a power failure, the lathe chuck's clamping force
may fail immediately and the workpiece may be released in an
uncontrolled manner. This poses a risk of death or injury to the
operating personnel and can result in serious damage to the
automated system.
• The machine manufacturer and the operator of the machine
must carry out and document a hazard assessment and risk
analysis to ensure that suitable measures are taken to main-
tain the lathe chuck's clamping force until the machine comes
to a standstill and the workpiece can be secured (e.g. using a
crane or suitable lifting equipment).
• The machines and equipment must fulfill the minimum
requirements of the EC Machinery Directive; specifically, they
must have effective technical measures to protect against
potential mechanical hazards.
DANGER
Possible risk of fatal injury to operating personnel if a jaw
breaks or if the lathe chuck fails because the technical data have
been exceeded and a workpiece is released or parts fly off
• The technical data specified by the manufacturer for using the
lathe chuck must never be exceeded.
• The lathe chuck may only be used on machines and facilities
that fulfill the minimum requirements of the EC Machinery
Directive; specifically, they must have effective technical
measures to protect against possible mechanical hazards.
