Hoffmann PP2 Dovetail Routing Machine
8. Machine Installation
8.1 Unpacking – Inspection
Upon receipt, check the machine and shipping container for any damage. Report any
transportation damage to the delivering carrier and indicate it on the bill of lading. Request an
immediate inspection for assessment of damage. Claim should then be entered with the carrier.
The carrier is solely responsible for any loss or damage during transit.
8.2 Placement
After unpacking, select a suitable location with enough room around the machine for safe and
unobstructed workflow, cleaning and maintenance.
The floor should be sound and reasonably level. When properly installed, the machine should not
rock or wobble.
8.3 Cleaning
Clean the machine and remove the applied rust preventive coating with a cotton rag and thin oil
(WD-40 or similar). Be careful when using liquids containing silicones – the finishing process of
your material could later be impaired.
Never use thinner or solvents to clean machine, damage could result.
8.4 Electric Connection
Only a licensed electrician shall connect the electrical supply line to the machine. The electrical
connection to 120 volts, single phase power must be made in accordance with all applicable
codes and laws. If a disconnect switch is required, one must be installed by the owner. If a plug-
receptacle connection is allowed, the power cord must be routed out of the path of normal
operator movement and should be protected from damage.
8.5 Compressed Air
Route a compressed airline to the machine. Caution: If a rubber hose is used make sure that is
does not lay on the floor in the path of normal operator movement. It is recommended that the
compressed airline drop from overhead. The airline connection should be made with a quick
disconnect fitting to allow for positive lock-out from the air source when performing adjustments,
cleaning, maintenance or repair work. The connection is made to the incoming side of the air
filter, regulator and lubricator assembly, which is mounted on the outside of the machine base.
CAUTION: WHEN AIR PRESSURE IS INTRODUCED TO THE MACHINE, THE HOLD DOWN
CLAMP AND THE MOTOR CARRIAGE WILL IMMEDIATELY MOVE TO THEIR HOME
POSITIONS. THEREFORE, USE EXTREME CAUTION AND STAND CLEAR OF THE
MACHINE WHENEVER COMPRESSED AIR IS INITIALLY CONNECTED.
