The work area for operation, maintenance and repair must not be restricted.
INFORMATION
In order to attain good functionality and a high processing accuracy as well as a long service life
of the machine, the place of installation should fulfil certain criteria.
Please observe the following points:
The machine must only be installed and operated in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Avoid places near machines generating chips or dust.
The installation site must be free from vibrations also at a distance of presses, planing
machines, etc.
The ground must be suitable for the lathe. Make sure that the floor has sufficient load-bear-
ing capacity and is level.
The ground must be prepared in a way that potential coolants cannot penetrate the floor.
Any parts sticking out such as stops, handles, etc. have to be secured by measures taken
by the customer if necessary in order to avoid endangering persons.
Provide sufficient space for the personnel preparing and operating the machine and trans-
porting the material.
Also make sure the machine is accessible for setting and maintenance works.
Provide for sufficient backlight (Minimum value: 500 lux, measured at the tool tip). At lower
illumination intensities, additional illumination has to be ensured e.g. by means of a sepa-
rate workplace lamp.
INFORMATION
The main switch of the lathe must be freely accessible.

Cleaning the machine
CAUTION!
Do not use compressed air to clean the machine.
Your new lathe must be completely cleaned after being unpacked to make sure that all the
moving parts and sliding surfaces are not damaged when the machine is operated. Each unit
leaves the factory with all its polished parts and sliding surfaces suitably greased to avoid oxi-
dation in the period of time that elapses, until it is started up. Remove all the wrapping and
clean all the surfaces with a degreaser to soften and remove the protecting greases and coat-
ings.
Clean all the surfaces with a clean cotton cloth and lubricate the lathe as explained in the fol-
lowing section, before connecting the power and beginning to operate the machine.
3.5.1
Lubrication
The lubrication and initial greasing of your new lathe consists of checking the oil levels through
the headstock, apron and feed box oil sight glasses. The oil tanks must be filled to half way up
the sight glass. Only afterwards can the machine be placed into operation.
The oil of the headstock, gear and apron must be changed 200 hours after being filled for
the first time, then annually.
Use the oil types recommended in the reference table
"Operating material“ on page 21.
This table can be used to compare the characteristics of each different type of oil of your
choice.
The lubrication nipples must be lubricated every 8 hours using an oiler. Furthermore, it is
also recommended to lubricate the slide tracks of the machine bed once a day.
