INFORMATION All persons involved in assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance must be duly qualified, strictly follow this operating manual. In the event of improper use there may be a risk to the staff, there may be a risk to the drilling-milling machine and other material property, may affect proper operation of the drilling-milling machine.
ATTENTION! The EMERGENCY-STOP button switches off the drilling-milling machine immediately. Only press the EMERGENCY-STOP button in case of danger! If the button is actuated in order to stop the drilling-milling machine generally you might damage tools or workpie- ces. After actuating the button, turn it to the right, in order to restart the machine. 1.5.2 Protective cover The drill-mill head is fitted with a protective...
Safety check Check the drilling-milling machine regularly. Check all safety devices before starting work, once a week (with permanent operation), after every maintenance and repair operation. General check Equipment Check Protective covers Fitted, firmly bolted and not damaged Labels, Installed and legible markings Run test Equipment...
For your own safety during operation WARNING! Before activating the drilling-milling machine, double-check that this will not endanger other people or cause damage to equipment. Avoid any unsafe working practises: Make sure your work does not endanger anyone. The instructions in this manual need to be observed during assembly, handling, mainte- nance and repair.
Disconnecting and securing the drilling-milling machine Pull out the mains plug before starting maintenance and repair work. 1.10 Using lifting equipment WARNING! Use of unstable lifting equipment and load suspension devices that break under load can cause very serious injury or even death. Check that the lifting equipment and load suspension devices are of sufficient load capa- city and in perfect condition.

Unpacking and connecting INFORMATION The drilling-milling machine comes pre-assembled. Extent of supply When the drilling-milling machine is delivered, immediately check that the machine has not been damaged during shipping and that all components are included. Also check that no fastening screws have come loose.
Installation and assembly 3.4.1 Requirements of the installation site The working area for operation, maintenance and repair work must not be hindered. The mains plug of the drilling-milling machine must be freely accessible. 3.4.2 Load suspension point WARNING! Danger of crushing and overturning. Proceed with extreme caution when lifting, installing and assembling the machine.
First use 3.8.1 Cleaning and lubricating Remove the anti-corrosive agent to the drilling-milling machine for transport and storage pur- poses. We recommend the use of paraffin. Do not use any solvents, thinners or other cleaning agents which could corrode the varnish on the drilling-milling machine.
Operation Safety Use the drilling-milling machine only under the following conditions: The drilling-milling machine is in proper working order. The drilling-milling machine is used as prescribed. The operating manual is followed. All safety devices are installed and activated. All malfunctions should be eliminated immediately. Stop the drilling-milling machine immediately in the event of any abnormality in operation and make sure it cannot be started up accidentally or without authorisation.

Main switch Switches the voltage supply on. The main switch is at the back of the control panel. Hand-actuated auxiliary switch Start / Stop Switches the machine on or off. Turning direction Selection left-handed, right-handed rotating or switch-off position. At the left-handed rotation the speed is about 50% less than at the right-handed rotation.
Switching on the drilling-milling machine Switch the main switch on. Select the reduction stage. Select the turning direction. Set the potentiometer to the lowest speed. Close the spindle protection. Actuate the hand-actuated auxiliary switch Start. Set the required speed at the potentiometer. Switching off the drilling-milling machine Press the hand-actuated auxiliary switch Stop.
ATTENTION! When installing a cold morse taper into a heated-up machine those MT seats tend to shrink on the morse taper contrary to the quick-releaser tapers. 4.5.3 Use of collet chucks When using collet chucks to hold milling tools, a higher operation tolerance can be achieved. The exchange of the collet chucks for a smaller or larger end mill cutter is done in a simple and rapid way and it is not necessary to disassemble the complete tool.
Selecting the speed For milling operations, the essential factor is the selection of the correct speed. The speed determines the cutting speed of the cutting edges which cut the material. By selecting the cor- rect cutting speed, the service life of the tool is increased and the working result is optimised. The optimum cutting speed mainly depends on the material and on the material of the tool.
INFORMATION Friction during the cutting process causes high temperatures at the cutting edge of the tool. The tool should be cooled during the milling process. Cooling the tool with a suitable cooling lubri- cant ensures better working results and a longer edge life of the cutting tool. INFORMATION Use a water-soluble and non-pollutant emulsion as a cooling agent.

Check if the clamping screws are firmly tightened as des- cribed under “Swivelling the drill-mill head“ on page 32 and that the drill-mill head can not independently tilt.
Repair For any repair work, get assistance from an employee of the company supplier’s technical service or send us the drilling-milling machine. If the repairs are carried out by qualified technical staff, they have to follow the indications given in this manual. The company does not take re sponsibility nor does it gua- rantee against damage and operating anomalies resulting from failure to observe this operating manual.
Setting instructions control Please find below a description to set the operating parameters, if required after replacement of the control and of the motor. Vmax This is the potentiometer to set the maximum possible speed of the motor. The speed of 3000 min must not be exceeded since the spindle bearings and your tools might get damaged.
