7. Basic tips on setting up and installing the machine

7.1. Unpacking and setting up the machine

Caution!
Do not insert the mains plug before completing the assembly work as the machine
could be switched on unintentionally. Risk of injuries!
Carefully unpack the individual components from the Styrofoam packaging. Please
check for completeness of the delivery by using the list in the chapter "Scope of
Delivery".
Caution! Please assemble the drilling lever (item 12 in the "Overall view of the milling
cutter) to the drilling lever shaft!
Caution!
Your milling machine weighs approximately 50 kg. Please do not attempt to lift the
machine out of the box by yourself or even set it up alone! Ask someone to help you,
otherwise you risk hurting yourself or damaging the machine.
The machine may only be set up and operated in dry and well-ventilated rooms. The
configuration of the components and its cabling is illustrated in the schematic figure
in Chapter 2.
The setup site must be level and sufficiently stable to absorb the vibrations that occur
during work. The machine must be fastened
to a fixed, level underlay using the drill
holes intended for this purpose.
Please make sure the mains cable is
outside the hazard area and cannot be
crimped or otherwise damaged.
For safe and precise work, it is mandatory to
fasten the machine onto a sturdy workbench or
similar working support, see figure at right.
There are two drill holes 2 for two M8
Allen screws on the right and left in the
machine base 1 for this purpose.
