2.1 Emissions
The generation of noise emitted by the lathe is less than 70 dB(A).
If the lathe is installed in an area where various machines are in operation, the noise exposure
(immission) on the operator of the at the working place may exceed 80dB(A).
INFORMATION
This numerical value was measured on a new machine under proper operating conditions.
Depending on the age respectively on the wear of the machine it is possible that the noise
behaviour of the machine changes.
Furthermore, the factor of the noise emission is also depending on manufacturing influencing
factors, e.g. speed, material and clamping conditions.
INFORMATION
The mentioned numerical value is the emission level and not necessarily a safe working level.
Though there is a dependency between the degree of the noise emission and the degree of the
noise disturbance it is not possible to use it reliably to determine if further precaution measures
are required or not.
The following factors influence the actual degree of the noise exposure of the operator:
Characteristics of the working area, e.g. size or damping behaviour,
Other noise sources, e.g. the number of machines,
Other processes taking place in the proximity and the period of time during which the oper-
ator is exposed to the noise.
Furthermore, it is possible that the admissible exposure level might be different from country to
country due to national regulations.
This information about the noise emission shall allow the operator of the machine to more eas-
ily evaluate the endangering and risks.
CAUTION!
Depending on the overall noise exposure and the basic limit values the machine
operators must wear an appropriate hearing protection.
We generally recommend to use a noise protection and a hearing protection.

3.3 Installation and assembly
3.3.1 Requirements regarding the installation site
INFORMATION
In order to attain good functionality and a high processing accuracy as well as a long durability
of the machine the installation site should fulfil certain criteria.
Please observe the following points:
The device must only be installed and operated in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Avoid places nearby machines generating chips or dust.
The installation site must be free from vibrations also at a distance of presses, planing
machines, etc.
The substructure must be suitable for turning. Also make sure that the floor has sufficient
load bearing capacity and is level.
The substructure must be prepared in a way that possibly used coolant cannot penetrate
into the floor.
Any parts sticking out such as stops, handles, etc. have to be secured by measures taken
by the customer if necessary in order to avoid endangerment of persons.
Provide sufficient space for the staff preparing and operating the machine and transporting
the material.
Also consider that the machine is accessible for setting and maintenance works.
The mains plug and the main switch of the lathe has to be freely accessible.
Provide for sufficient illumination (Minimum value: 300 lux).
In case of little intensity of illumination provide for additional illumination i.e. by a separate
workplace illumination.
INFORMATION
The mains plug of the lathe must be freely accessible.
3.3.2 Assembling
ATTENTION!
The lathe can slip slowly during operation on the ground. Attach the machine to the
ground.
Attach the lathe to the provided through holes (2 pieces) along with the chip pan and the
intended base.
 "Dimensions, installation plan“ on page 18
ATTENTION!
Tighten the setscrews on the lathe only until it is firmly secured and can neither move
during operation nor be turned over. If the fixing screws are too tight in particular in
connection with an uneven substructure it may result in a broken stand of the machine
bed.
3.4 First commissioning
ATTENTION!
Before commissioning the machine check all screws, fixtures resp. safety devices and
tighten up the screws if necessary!
WARNING!
Risk by using improper tool holders or by operating them at inadmissible speeds.
