5� Installation and connection
5�1 Space requirement
The moving parts of the machine must not be able to collide with the environment. In addition, there should be
at least 20 cm available around the machine for maintenance tasks.
5�2 Installation
The portal milling machine must be set up indoors; the ambient temperature must be between 15 and 35 ° C
when the machine is in operation. Avoid getting wet and damp.
Note:
Condensation - the precipitation of water from the humidity on cold machine parts - is an often neglected danger
for mechanics and electronics. Avoid cooling the place of operation below the dew point.
Place the machine on a stable, straight and level table that can divert the forces into the ground without moving.
Attention!
Make sure that the rubber feet of the machine have a non-slip position. In connection with their own
weight, the rubber feet provide protection against slipping and “wandering”, which in the worst case can
lead to a fall and serious damage to the machine.
5�3 Cabling
The correct wiring of the Hobby Line portal milling machines is described in separate instructions. The instruc-
tions for the controller used provide further information. Pay particular attention to the instructions for earthing
the machine and control.
In addition, check from time to time - for example as part of the lubrication process - the intactness, especially of
the cables routed in drag chains, and that the connections are secure and free of corrosion.
6� Operation
6�1 Personal requirements
The user of the machine must have understood the basic function of all subsystems of the CNC portal milling
machine (mechanics, tools, controls and software) and be familiar with the dangers.
Attention!
The machine must not be operated after taking substances that impair perception and reaction (alcohol,
drugs, medication with a corresponding warning notice, ...).
