5.3 Mains connection

Mains connection and any extension cords used must
comply with applicable regulations.
The mains voltage must comply with the information on
the machine licence plate.
The mains connection must have a
16A surge-proof fuse.
Only use power cords marked H07RN-F
Connections and repairs to the electrical equipment may
only be carried out by qualified electricians.

5.4 Dust collection

Use a suitable dust collection and air filtration system to
avoid high dust concentrations in the air.
5.5 Compressed air connection
To use the vacuum chuck and the blow gun, the machine
must be connected to compressed air.
Compressed air supply

Connect your incoming air supply to the quick connect
coupler (B).
Fig 13
Attach vacuum adaptor (C) to hose (D).
Push adaptor into the spindle.
Install support bracket (E, Fig 14) with knurled screw. This
prevents adaptor from backing out during spindle rotation.
Rotate the switch (H, Fig 15) to activate or to deactivate
the vacuum air flow.
The vacuum gauge (R) shows the vacuum pressure
achieved in cmHg (76cmHg=1bar).
Caution:
Continuous compressed air supply must be assured for
vacuum chucking.
The chucking surface must be big enough to ensure
sufficient vacuum forces.
The chucking surface must be flat
The work piece must be hermetic and thick enough to
avoid air leakage and pressure loss.
If reversing spindle rotation, make sure vacuum chuck is
secured with the set screws.

5.6 Starting operation
