YOUR ROBLAND X31 HAS ARRIVED
Pictured below (fig. 1) is how your Robland X31 will arrive. The crate is made of heavy-duty particle
board with four steel bands to ensure your machine arrives in perfect condition.
Instructions:
Remove the steel bands, and carefully remove the block-wood, starting with the top and then the
sides. Be careful when removing the sides so that nothing falls out onto the floor. Set the plywood
aside.
INSIDE THE CRATE
The Robland X31 is packaged in a heavy-duty plastic bag (fig. 2) to guarantee your machine will
arrive rust-free. Our shipping and customer service departments may have inspected your machine
prior to shipping; therefore, you might find the bag has been opened.
Instructions
* Cut around the bottom of the bag and lift it off.

YOUR ROBLAND X31
Packaged to minimize shipping damage inside a plastic wrapping, the X31 will be secured to a well-
supported pallet. All of the accessories and parts are packaged inside the box as shown in the fol-
lowing figure: (In some cases accessories will be added inside the crate if you have ordered special
items.)
Robland Machinery pre-adjusts and assembles the X31 combination machine at the factory in
Belgium to the highest accuracy possible. Therefore, you will have to spend minimal time assem-
bling and adjusting your machine for the maximum results.

MOVING THE X31 WITH A FORKLIFT
Slide the hoisting equipment under the table. You can also use 4 hoist hooks, as shown below.
Then the machine can be lifted with a forklift truck, but severe shocks must be avoided. The
machine must be placed on a concrete base and must be leveled perfectly horizontal in the two
directions.
It is very important that all working elements are easily accessible, and that there is enough space
around the machine to use it safely. The machine is constructed in such a manner that it is not nec-
essary to secure it to the ground; but if you wish to do so, fixing bolts must be introduced through
the base plates. Please check the dimensions for the space required.

Electrical Connection
A qualified electrician who is able to calculate exactly the required wire section and amperage of the
fuses must carry out the electrical connection.
Check that the main voltage of your machine corresponds with the voltage in your workshop;
then open the electrical connection box at the back of the machine (fig.4A).
Connect the single phase (fig. 6) to the terminals marked L1, L2, and PE (Earth).
All US machines are single-phase unless three-phase is special-ordered
through Laguna Tools.
Triple phase: Connect the 3 phase to the terminals marked (fig. 5)
If there is a neutral conductor (blue), it is connected to the terminal N.
*Connect the earth (green + yellow) to the terminal marked with the earth symbol.
Fig. 6 shows the connection for a single-phase machine.
WARNING:
*Check if the spindle runs freely and if all protections are mounted before starting up
the machine.
*If the rotation direction of the spindle is not correct, the wires L1 and L2 must be
exchanged (the rotation direction of the spindle is anti-clockwise = left).
* This may only be done without tools on the spindle (safety reasons).
