6.7. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The connection of the machine to the main power must be carried out by a skilled electrician in accordance with the
specifications of the standards in force.
Turn the main switch to "0".
Ensure that the main power line is not under tension before starting to connect the machine.
The manufacturer of the machine is not responsible for general protection against short circuit.
The user must connect the machine to the power line, fitting a set of three fuses. For this purpose the following table
shows the recommended values of the fuses which had better be type SIEMENS 5SB NEOZED, depending on the
power absorbed by the machine and the line voltage.
The same table recommends the minimum wire section to be used for connection. The wire entry is on the rear of
the machine.
- The conductors must be connected to the terminals marked:
L1 - L2 - L3
and the yellow and green earth wire to the terminal:
PE
A good earth socket is recommended.
The neutral lead is not connected.
Start the machine for a few seconds to ensure that the tool is turning in the direction indicated by the arrows on the
plate of the casing. If not, switch off the machine, disconnect the power and invert the two phases.
6.8. PNEUMATIC FEED
Pneumatic feed: dry, filtered and lubricated compressed air. Pressure used must be by 0,5~0,8 Mpa. For
connection use a plastic pipe by 8mm outer diameter.
6.9. SUCTION
Before starting up the machine, connect it to a suction hood. The connection has to be done in such a way that the
machine automatically activates the suction hood.
For instance, an induction coil can be installed on a supply cable properly connected to the electric system of the
suction hood. The user will be charged for this modification and has to ask a skilled electrician to carry it out..
With 4-shaft machines connected to 4 flexible hoses (150 mm inner diameter, hardly inflammable type), the suction
plant should provide a capacity of at least 8740 m
³
/h.
With 5-shaft machines connected to 5 flexible hoses (150 mm inner diameter, hardly inflammable type), the suction
plant should provide a capacity of at least 10925 m
³
/h.
With 6-shaft machines connected to 6 flexible hoses (150 mm inner diameter, hardly inflammable type), the suction
plant should provide a capacity of at least 13110 m
³
/h.
Suction speed should be at least 30-34 m/sec.
6.10. NOISE PRODUCTION VALUES
- NOISE PRODUCTION LEVEL:
L
WA
=85,1dB 4 spindles
L
WA
=85,9dB 5 spindles
L
WA
=86,7dB 6 spindles
- ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR K = 2 dB (A)
Attention!
Prolonged exposure to a level higher than 85 dB (A) may cause damage to your health; users are always
recommended to make use of suitable personal protection systems (e.g. headphones , ear plugs).
The values shown are production levels and are not necessarily levels for safe working. While there is a
relationship between production levels and exposure levels, this may not be used reliably to determine whether any
further precautions are necessary. Factors which influence the real level of exposure for workers include the
duration of exposure, the characteristics of the buildings, other sources of dust and noise etc., for example the
number of machines and other processes being carried out nearby. The allowed level of exposure may also vary
from one country to another. Anyway, this information will enable the user to make a better assessment of the
dangers and risks involved.

7. DUST PRODUCTION
In this type of machine the only material harmful for our health is sawdust.
Dust production has been checked by Fachausschuß Holz and is clearly below the currently allowed limit value of 2
mg/m

- wounds caused by parts of pieces being ejected during operation;
- wounds caused by pneumatic devices;
- fire risk;
- risks connected with the electric system;
- risks caused by loud noise;
- risks caused by dust.
8.1. OPERATORS’ TRAINING
All operators working on straightening machines have to be adequately trained for their use, adjustment and
operation. In particular:
These machines can be used exclusively by properly trained people. Their training has to include any information
about the risks caused by the machine and the suitable precautions to take.
Operators have to be instructed in the correct use and periodical inspections of the protections and of the safety
devices as well.

10. TOOL ASSEMBLY
Tools shall be manufactured in conformity with the European Standard pr EN 847-1.
On tools to be used on machines with integrated feeding must be marked permanently and clearly with:
- the manufacturer’s name or the trade-mark;
- outside diameter x cutting length x hole diameter;
- allowed speed area;
- MEC;
- year of manufacturing (it can be a code).
- Make sure that the tool in use is chosen, sharpened, maintained and adjusted in conformity with the directions of
the tool manufacturer.
- Tools have to be sharpened and properly assembled with tools and supports carefully balanced.
- Take the necessary precautions while handling the tools; use gauntlets as often as you can.
- The tools made of only one material must not have any flaw.
- The tools and their components have to be fastened so that they do not loosen while operating.
- Screws and locking nuts have to be tightened to the couple prescribed by the manufacturer through appropriate
tools.
- Implement extensions and hammer clamping are not allowed.
- The clamping surfaces have to be free from dirt, grease, oil and water.
- The use of detachable rings or tool bushes is allowed only if they are supplied by the manufacturer.
- Remove resin from light metal alloy tools only with solvents not etching aluminium.
- Precaution is needed while repairing tools for wood machining.
- The design of complex tools (with built-up cutting edges) has not to be altered during repair.
- Compound tools have to be repaired only by skilled and trained technicians who must know the design features
as well as the safety level to be reached.
- Tool repair will include the utilization of spare parts according to the specifications of the original parts supplied
by the manufacturer.
- For one-piece tools, take the necessary precautions so that the regrinding of the cutting edge does not weaken
the body of the tool and the edges connection on the body.
For assembly proceed as follows:
- Position the starting switches on "0".
- Position the main switch on “0” and lock it.
- Assemble tool (Fig. 6-7)(3) on shaft (1), using spacer rings (2) if necessary.
- Screw snap ring (4) and fasten with double head spanner (5/6) holding part (6) and turning part (5) clockwise.
- To assemble shaving milling cutter (Fig. 7)(7) on the preplaner shaft follow the above-mentioned instructions, not
forgetting to offset the cutting edges of the milling cutter with those of the tool.
- Replace all guards of the chip suction hoods.
- Make sure that the tool is properly assembled with regard to the shaft direction of rotation.
To change cutters, loosen locking screws of wedge (Fig. 6)(1), so that springs push the cutter upwards; then
remove the cutter in axial direction.
After setting up the new cutter, install the tool on the adjusting device. To guarantee a perfect parallelism to the table,
it is sufficient to put the cutter on the adjuster reference line (Fig. 6A)(1) and proceed as follows:
- screw clamp screws (Fig. 6)(2) first moderately, then with greater strength, starting from the central screws, then
alternatively from one end to another; do not use extensions or hammers; use wrench only. Repeat until you have
changed all cutters. Once cutters have been replaced or sharpened, check that the thickness corresponds to the
value of the indicator.
Interchangeable TERSA knives slide on one side inside a longitudinal groove, parallely to a wedge that, pushed by
the centrifugal force, guarantees a uniform and steady locking along all the head length. Adjustment is automatic by
means of the perfect adjusting of the reverse profiles of the groove and the cutter.
Tools must be changed as follows:
- unlock the tool stopping device giving a light blow to the self-locking bolt (Fig. 6B)(1);
- remove the reversible tool and introduce a new reversing section, or change tool (2).
Then start up the machine. Thanks to the centrifugal force, tools automatically lock.
Cutter position adjustment procedure with respect to tables
Cutter adjustment to vertical reference fence and horizontal table should be made by taking the right-hand vertical
shaft as an example.
Apply the tool gauge to the side of the vertical reference fence, then adjust cutters until one of the edges touches the
gauge itself. While adjusting, manually turn the cutter opposite to the cutting direction, up to a point when friction
between the edge and the gauge can be barely perceived but not heard: this indicates proper adjustment of the
cutter. Once this is done, move on to set the digital indicator. (Fig. 6)

15
11. PREPLANER TABLE AND INFEED FENCE
- To adjust preplaner table (Fig. 7)(1), loosen handle (2) and adjust it on the straightening value of the lower edge,
considering that the max. bending of the piece can be 10 mm.
Reference "0" of the millimetre plate corresponds to the working table.
- To adjust side fence (3) loosen handle (4) and adjust it on the desired straightening value of the vertical wall, still
considering that the max. piece bending is 10 mm.
Reference "0" of the millimetre plate relates to the first fixed right fence, placed behind the preplaner shaft.
If adjusting the preplaner shaft sliding capacity is needed, release or tension spring (5).
In order to make easier to feed andload short (min length 250 mm) and thin pieces, the machine can be equipped
with an additional infeed driving roller (6).
Besides, when this unit is inserted, it is possible to maintain the natural bending of the piece on the lower side and
on the infeed fence side. To work long pieces, take off this unit.

21. CLEANING AND LUBRICATING.
Frequent maintenance ensures your machine will last longer and always provide optimal performances.
Plus, also overall cleaning of the machine and of the surrounding floor will improve overall safety.
Frequent cleaning:
Clean the machine using a solvent and compressed air to avoid the formation of scales, particularly on the table,
slideways, shafts and cavities, wherever residues of dust and chips are visible.
When using compressed air, avoid pointing the jet towards fences and supports, to prevent chips from
accumulating in the tool support and in the spindle bearings.
When cleaning and lubricating, make sure not to apply grease to belts or drive pulleys, as this might compromise
machine operation.
If required, clean belts with a cloth or a rag and use kerosene or turpentine for the pulleys.
Avoid all contact between belts and solvents or lubricants.
Besides the above mentioned items, clean or lubricate all moving parts, rods, threaded bars, pins and any other part
which may be prone to oxidizing.
Lubrication:
Prior to any repair and maintenance operation, disconnect the electrical and pneumatic mains power supply.
Lubricate at a temperature higher than 120ºC and use lubricant ZG-3 ,ZG-0, gear oil 90#, motor oil N46.
Roller gearbox:
check oil level through the indicator. Oil should be added or replaced when below the required level or when level is
not visible.
a) Slacken the drain cap and let all impurities flow out from then bottom, then close.
b) Pour oil through the filter until the level is up to the line marked on the indicator.

22. BELT TENSIONING AND REPLACEMENT
During the first usage period of the machine, belts will break in and this will unavoidably reduce tension.
After a few days' usage, re-adjust belt tension, without overtensioning, to avoid overloading and damaging motor
and shaft bearings.
Inspect belts at least once every 2 months to check for wear and restore an optimal tensioning.
Tension is to be checked by applying pressure on belts halfway through their length: a belt sagging of approx. 10
mm should be noticed.
To tension or replace belts, lockout the main switch after setting it to "0", then remove the machine rear guard.
Belt tensioning - upper and lower horizontal shafts
a) Slacken the nut in the tie-rod fixed to the motor flange.
b) Axially adjust the motor by acting on the tie-rod until belts are tensioned as indicated above
c) Re-tighten the tie-rod nut.
Belt tensioning - left- and right-hand vertical shafts
a) Slacken the 4 motor flange fastening screws.
b) Tension the belt by prying on the motor flange using the wrench supplied (1) (Fig. 18)
c) Tighten the motor flange screws
When replacing the belt, make sure the arrow printed on the external side indicates the shaft direction of rotation.
