3.8.1 Power supply
Connect the electrical supply cable.
Check the fusing (fuse) of your electrical supply according to the technical instructions regard-
ing the total connected power of the drilling-milling machine.
3.8.2 Cleaning and lubricating
Remove the anti-corrosive agents on the drilling-milling machine which had been applied
for transportation and storage. Therefore, we recommend you to use paraffin.
Do not use any solvents, cellulose thinner or any other cleaning agents which might affect
the coating of the drilling-milling machine when cleaning the machine. Observe the indica-
tions and notes of the manufacturer for cleaning agents.
Oil all blank machine parts using an acid-free lubricating oil.
Lubricate the drilling-milling machine according to the lubricating plan.
"Inspection and maintenance“ on page 46
Check if all spindles are running smoothly. The spindle nuts are re-adjustable.
Disassemble the V-ledges of the cross table and clean the ledges from the anti-corrosive
agent.
3.8.3 Filling in gear oil
The drilling-milling machine is delivered without oil filling. Fill in gear lubricant oil into the drill-
mill head and the central lubrication unit.
3.8.4 Warming up the machine
ATTENTION!
If the drilling-milling machine and in particular the milling spindle is immediately
operated at maximum load when it is cold it may result in damages.
If the machine is cold such as e.g. directly after having transported the machine it should be
warmed up at a spindle speed of only 500 1/min for the first 30 minutes.
