TRANSPORTATION AND INSTALLATION
LIFTING, MOVING AND TRANSPORTATION
When the machine is in packed condition, it should be lifted and moved to the
transport vehicle by means of a lifting equipment of more than 4 t capacity, being
gripped at the place indicated on the packing / Fig.23 /.
When the machine is in unpacked condition or is in a packing, suitable for truck
transportation (just on a pallet), it should be lifted and moved as slings are fixed
on the yoke. Protection pads 10 / Fig.1 / are put under the slings to protect the
finished surfaces. The yoke should be locked.
UNPACKING
During unpacking the availability of all parts and accessories should be established
according to the packing list. Claims, related to shortages and condition of the
machine and its accessories, made after putting it into operation, are not accepted.
CLEANING
Before machine installation, it should be cleaned from the rust - preventing oil
with pure diesel oil. For removal of protective oil film, do not use solid objects
and diluents that can damage the metal surfaces, paint and label marking. The
following water-soluble alkaline degreasing materials are recommended:
- Flexiclean and Techniclean, manufactured by CASTROL;
- Cimclean PC 410 and Cimclean PC 430, manufactured by CIMCOOL
Unpainted surfaces should be dried with rags and then lubricated with "Mobil
Vactra oil No.2". The machine mechanisms shall be lubricated after installation and
foundation as specified in section "Lubrication".
FOUNDATION
The location of the machine must be picked carefully. A minimum distance of
500 mm must be left between the machine and any other machine and/or struc-
tures. Do not place the machine in a humid, dirty and badly illuminated enviroment.
While foundation is being done, check regularly the longitudinal and cross level-
ling of the work table. The tolerance is 0.03 mm per 1000 mm. Levelling accuracy
can be achieved with the help of wedges positioned near the foundation bolts.

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FU 321M 9
Install the machine on stable and flat concrete floor and if necessary use addi-
tional pads including vibroinsulating pads, or place concrete. If the floor is un-
stable, install the machine on a concrete foundation / Fig.2 /. Machine base has
holes for the foundation bolts, by which machine can be fixed at special situa-
tions. The dimension H depends on the bearing capacity of the soil, but it should
be minimum 350 mm.
After final curing of the concrete, tight the nuts of foundation bolts (if used), as
continuously observe and keep not to disturb the horizontal leveling of the ma-
chine. Then fill the space between the machine and the foundation with a mixture
of sand and cement.
Fondation bolts, nuts and the leveling plates are not delivered by the producer.
NOTE: The use of vibration insulating supports is allowed if the soil is hard
enough. Foundation bolts, nuts and wedges are not supplied by the manufacturer.

FITTING OF THE TABLE GUARDS
The purpose of this safety system is to protect the operator when the machine
is performing any kind of operation and at same time to give the opportunity of
safety observation of the working proccess.
Polymethil-methacrylate (CRYSTACRYL 4 mm) is used for transparent parts of
this device. If any transparent part (a door or a panel) become scratched or
damaged in any way it should be replaced for safety reasons. This parts should
be cleaned regularly to avoid the operator's view obstruction.
The safety guard consists of 2 front doors and 2 side panels. Before proceeding
with any kind of operation the both front doors should be closed.
The fitting of the table guards is done by M8 bolts on both sides of the working
table keyways as shown below. First close both doors and then tighten the bolts
fully.
NOTE: The machines are being delivered with mounted safety guards.
OPTIONAL: Aninterlock system can be fitted to table guards. To fit the interlock
guard switch to the electrical cabinet, connect the two cables from the interlock
switch to slots 28 and 36 on the connector block. Remember to remove the link
between slots 28 and 36 before connecting the cables from the interlock swich.
WARNING: Any of these connections should be performed by a qualified elec-
trician or service engineer.

PREPARATION FOR START - UP
Before initial operation of the machine after unpacking, or keeping the machine
idle for a long period, make a close examination and cleaning of all mechanisms,
fill the tanks with oil / Fig.8a / and coolant and connect the machine to the mains
as prescribed in the section "Electric Equipment".
The locking mechanism for the longitudinal travel 12, cross travel mechanism 14
and vertical travel mechanism 26 / Fig.3 / should be disengaged. All mechanisms
should operate smoothly and trouble - free. Check that they do that by hand.
Check the proper functioning of the gear boxes by switching from lowest to
highest gear speeds and feeds during idle running. At the same time constantly
observe the lubrication system operation through the oil level indicators.
Warm up the machine by running it for 30 minutes at idle running mode.
Proir to initial use of machine, Emergency Stop functions should be checked. To
check it start the spindle at max speed. After 10 seconds press one of the
"Emergency Stop" buttons 45 or 51 / Fig.3a / and make a note of how long it
tooks for spindle to stop. The function of each button should be checked sepa-
rately.
Then start the machine in exactly the same way and after 10 seconds use the main
breaker 41 / Fig. 3a / to stop the spindle. Measure the time for spindle stopping.
It should take longer for spindle to stop when use the main breaker.
If the time of spindle stop is the same for both tests a qualified electrician should
be called and the problem should be eliminated immediatly before the machine is
used.
CAUTION:
1. Remember: During a power failure the dynamic spindle stop will not be
available.
2. When a vertical milling head, a slotting head or a universal milling head are
used, the vertical stroke is limited. To prevent the danger of shock move the lower
cam into the additionally machined screw hole to fix it.
3. The table swing towards the electric cabinet is limited in order to avoid the
smash of the electric cabinet due to operator's carelessness. To swing the table
to bigger angle remove the stopper placed to the outlet of support's T-slot and
look out for not smaching the electric cabinet during table traverse on axis.
See and read carefully sections "Safety precautions" and "Maitenance".

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FU 321M 17
SELECTION OF SPINDLE ROTATION SPEED
Each one of 18 speeds is selected by relevant to the desired speed combination
positioning of handles 1, 2 and 4 which are shown on the graphic panel scheme
/ Fig.9 /.
To facilitate the selection of desired speed, press the push - button 3 / Fig.9 /
as you have the handle shiften from its fixed position and slight turning the handle.
Do not change the spindle speed during machine operation.
SELECTION OF FEED RATE
Choise of desired feed is achieved by handle for feed reference potentiometer 53
/ Fig.3a /.
SELECTION OF LONGITUDINAL FEED
The manual longitudinal feeds are effected by handwheels 3 and 21 / Fig.3 / and
the automatic ones - by the handle 4 / Fig.3 /.
SELECTION OF CROSS AND VERTICAL FEEDS
Manual feed in cross and vertical direction is accomplished by handle 1
/ Fig.3 /. Remove the handle from the machine before putting on the automatic
feed and the rapid traverse.
The automatic table feed in cross direction is realized by handle 15 and in vertical
- by handle 17 / Fig.3 /.
COOLING OF THE TOOLS
Turn the switch "Coolant On/Off" /Pos.44, Fig.3a / in position "ON".
DRIVE UNITS ACTIVATING
The feed drive operation in cutting mode or at rapid traverse can be performed
with or without spindle rotation. The direction of spindle rotation is chosen by
"Spindle Off/Fwd/Rew" Switch 47 / Fig.3a /. Position "FWD" corresponds to the
spindle rotation counter-clockwise, facing the spindle. "REW" means clockwise
spindle rotation.
Main drive is activated by pressing of button "Start" / Pos.49, Fig.3a /, thus the
circuits for feed motion and coolant pump are prepared for work.
