2-1 MACHINE UNLOADING
Before unloading the machine, free it of all parts which, for transport or packing reasons are resting on it.
Check the red lifting bar (B fig. 2.1) is properly fastened to the machine bed.
Raise the machine using a crane or other means after fastening the cables supplied with hooks to the points
provided (C fig. 2.1) and indicated by means of plates.
NOTE: Always keep to the cable lengths shown in fig. 2.1; if necessary use longer cables. For machines without
universal units, always make sure there is a 150 mm difference between one cable and another.
During lifting, avoid sudden, jerky movements.
Alternatively to the above indications, the machine (when fitted with pedestal or pallet) can also be lifted by fork
lift truck having suitable length forks positioned at a distance indicated on plates (A fig. 2.1). The forks must be
inserted under the machine bed (fig. 2.1). Make sure the forks fit under the rear beam (D fig. 2.1). Take every
precaution to avoid any chance of the machine overturning, fastening it with cables to the fork lift truck structure.
Make sure that cranes, cables or fork lift trucks have a lifting capacity equal to or greater than the weight
of the machine.
Machine weight is indicated on the identity plate or in the “characteristics paragraph” of this manual.
2-2 POSITIONING
Choose the best, well-lit position (recommended minimum 500 LUX), taking into consideration power
connections to mains, to the compressed air system and to the shavings suction system, as well as easy
maintenance access. The minimum free distance around the machine should be 1000 mm, except in the operator
start-up and adjustments area where the distance must be 1500 mm and in the outfeed operator position, where
the distance must be equal to the maximum length of the machined piece plus 500 mm.
Check the floor is sound (non-deformable material is best, with concrete floor recommended), so the machine
bed rests uniformly on all contact points.
For machine transport requirements, a red bar (B fig. 2.1) is fitted. Once the machine has been positioned, remove
the bar (B). This bar (B) must be refitted every time the machine has to be moved.
For transport requirements, the machine is greased and oiled.
Before starting operation, remove grease from work areas and protection devices.
The machine bed is equipped with special feet inside which screws can be fitted for levelling the machine.
2-3 LEVELLING
Position the machine as required. Place a high-precision spirit level (0.05 mm per metre) above the table in line
with each spindle, first lengthways and then crossways, making all preliminary adjustments by means of the
screws (12x25 m hexagonal-head in the accessory pack) under the feet. Between the screws and the floor,
position the bosses provided in the accessory pack (P fig. 2.1)
Adjust the screws again and at the same time check the variations produced. A maximum levelness error of 0.1
mm is acceptable along the entire length of the worktables.
To level crossways, place the spirit level near the first spindle and move it 300 mm at a time.
The infeed table must be perfectly aligned to the fixed machine worktable. Any maladjustment between the two
tables should not exceed 0.1 mm lengthways and 0.05 mm crossways.
