WARNING!
First fix the machine so that it stands stable on the substructure before performing any
further installation works or loosen clamping levers. The foundation on which the
machine is anchored must have sufficient load bearing capacity. In any case
commission a structural engineer who can check if the place of installation has
sufficient load bearing capacity. Please observe that there is tensile loading and
additional punctual load on the foundation while turning the cantilever against the
direction of the machine foot.
Check the horizontal orientation of the base of the drilling machine with a spirit level.
Check that the foundation has sufficient load-bearing capacity and rigidity.
Place the radial drilling machine on the provided underground.
Align the machine.
Fix the radial drilling machine in the provided through-holes on the machine foot.
3.6.1 Aligning the machine
WARNING!
Risk of toppling the radial drilling machine.
Only undo the clamping lever if the machine is anchored firmly to the base.
Align the radial drilling machine on the cantilever or on the machine foot by means of a
machine spirit level. The slope deviation of all levels must not exceed 1/1000mm. The more
precisely the cantilever has been aligned with a possible inclination with the adjusting
screws to the machine base, the smaller the cantilever can turn by itself around the col-
umn, when the clamping lever is released.
3.6.2 Fixing
WARNING!
In order to provide for the necessary stability of the radial drilling machine connect the
machine with its foot to the substructure.
We recommend you use anchor bolts DIN 529 M16 x 320
Fix the foot of the radial drilling machine to the substructure with the provided through-
holes.

Cleaning and lubrication
Remove the anti-corrosive agents on the radial drilling machine which had been applied for
transportation and storage. We recommend you use paraffin for this purpose.
Do not use any solvents, thinner or other cleaning agents which could corrode the varnish
on the radial drilling machine. Observe the cleaning agent manufacturer's information and
notes.
Grease all exposed machine parts using an acid-free lubricating oil.
Lubricate the radial drilling machine according to the lubricating plan.
