7. Basic tips on setting up and assembling the machine

• The machine may only be set up and operated in dry and well ventilated rooms.
• The installation surface must be level and sufficiently stable to absorb the
vibrations that occur during operation. For this purpose, the machine must be fixed
to a firm, level surface using the holes provided.
• Please ensure that the mains cable is outside the danger zone and is not crushed
or otherwise damaged!
• Mount the lathe chuck on the main spindle with the 3 corresponding screws,
making sure that the seat of the chuck is free of dirt and that the chuck is perfectly
centred.
• Please note:
All bare metal parts of the machine are preserved with a corrosion protection when
delivered. This protection does not serve as lubrication, but only as preservation,
and must therefore be washed off before first use, e.g. with a petroleum-soaked
and non-fluffy cloth.
• All guides must be checked from time to time and, if necessary, adjusted in rare
cases due to wear. (See chapter " Adjusting the play of the guides ").
• Afterwards, the bare guides and spindles must be well oiled with a suitable
machine oil.

7.1. Room EMERGENCY Off

An EMERGENCY Off switch that disconnects the power supply in the entire room must
be installed in the room where the machines are operated. This red/yellow coloured
mushroom-shaped pushbutton must be easily accessible and arranged far enough
away from the possible hazardous area.

8. Basics of working with the machine

Caution!
Before switching on for the first time, check that the screws of the lathe chuck are
correctly tightened, that the lathe chuck key is not inserted and that the support has
sufficient distance to the lathe chuck.
Caution!
Please note that due to the construction type, the motor can become very hot if left in
idle operation for a longer period. This is not an indication for a motor defect; still, it is
recommended to avoid this operating state and not to leave the machine unnecessarily
in idle operation.
