Proceed with extreme caution when lifting, installing and assembling the machine.
Danger of crushing and overturning.
• Secure the load-suspension device around the drill-mill head. Use a lifting sling for
this purpose.
• Clamp all the clamping levers at the machine before lifting it.
• Make sure that no add-on pieces or varnished parts are damaged due to the load-
suspension.
• Check the horizontal orientation of the base of the machine with a spirit level.
• Check that the foundation has sufficient floor-load capacity and rigidity.
Insufficient rigidity of the foundation leads to the superposition of vibrations between
the drilling-milling machine and the foundation (natural frequency of components).
Insufficient rigidity of the entire milling machine assembly also rapidly causes the
machine to reach critical speeds, with unpleasant vibrations, leading to bad milling
results.
• Position the drilling-milling machine on the intended foundation.
• Attach the drilling-milling machine using the provided recesses in the machine base.
