MACCHINE E ACCESSORI 2. Lift the top shield to be able to gain access to the belts and pulleys. Figure 10 – Pulley compartment 3. To change the position of the motor belt it is sufficient to loosen the motor belt tensioning knob, then move the belt and tension it again properly using the knob.
MACCHINE E ACCESSORI 5. After loosening the bolts, move the pulley so that it is possible to move the belt to the desired position, then re-tension the belt and tighten the bolts. Figure 13 – Pulley displacement. 6. Check for the correct belt tension by exerting a light pressure with your fingers. Belt tension It is very important that the belts are under tension, in order not to compromise the efficiency of the Drill.
MACCHINE E ACCESSORI 5.4 Handwheel for vertical displacement of the spindle On the right hand side of the head there is a handwheel for vertical (upward or downward) displacement of the spindle. For lowering the spindle, namely for approaching the tool to the work piece, fetch one of the knobs and rotate the handwheel anticlockwise;...
MACCHINE E ACCESSORI 5.4.2 Spindle return speed adjustment On the left part of the drill there is an adjustment knob for the return speed of the spindle. To adjust the return speed of the spindle it is necessary to remove the screw that locks the knob (Ref.
Page 22
MACCHINE E ACCESSORI To adjust the table height, proceed as follows: 1. Manually loosen the locking screws (B) Figure 18 – Unlocking the screw. 2. Fetch handle (A) and turn it clockwise for raising the table, or anticlockwise for lowering it, until reaching the desired height.
Page 23
MACCHINE E ACCESSORI Modifying the table height and angle It is absolutely forbidden to change the work table height, or rotate it, while the spindle is moving. Moreover, the work stand can be tilted to any position from left to right. To tilt the work surface, proceed as follows: 1.
MACCHINE E ACCESSORI 6 MACHINE SAFETY DEVICES Accident UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD PROTECTION AND SAFETY DEVICES BE MODIFIED OR REMOVED! Before using the machine, always check the condition and correct safety device operation provided by the manufacturer. 6.1 Spindle guard A polycarbonate guard protects the operator against contacts with the rotating tool or against parts ejected during the process.
MACCHINE E ACCESSORI 6.2 Pulley compartment guard A mobile guard made of metal sheet protects the operator against contacts with pulleys, belts and other moving parts of the power transmission system and of the speed change. This guard is equipped with a micro-switch, which stops the power supply to the machine when it is not in closed position (protection of the pulleys).
