3General
The models 245|100, 245|200 and 245|300 are universal tilting spindle moulders with height and tilt adjustable
milling arbor, two directions of rotation, quick tool change device, adjustable speed as well as separately adjust-
able total and partial fence.
•The milling spindle is driven by a three-phase motor.
•The four speeds of the 245|100 version (3000 / 4500 / 6000 / 9000 rpm) can be adjusted by flipping the
pulley via the belt quick tensioning device.
•On the 245|200 and 245|300 versions, the speed can be infinitely adjusted from 1500 to 10000 rpm via a
frequency inverter. The set speed is visualised on the touchscreen.
•The milling spindle is mounted dust-tight. Special ball bearings and careful alignment of all moving parts
give the machine smooth running.
•The milling arbor is designed for clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation and is secured against rotation. It
has a quick-change tool device, which means that the milling spindle does not have to be locked.
•For all models, the quick-change milling arbor type "HSK 80" with nut and hook spanner (without collet) is
optionally available. Depending on the shaft diameter, the necessary collets are required.
•As further options, the two models 245|200 and 245|300 can also be equipped with the tool-free quick-
change system "HSK 85 Powerlock" or with the CNC-compatible, automatic tool change system "HSK63-F".
•The height and tilt adjustment is carried out automatically via the UT 300 position control unit.
•The finely planed cast iron machine table has the dimensions 1100 x 760 mm and is provided with a rigid
frame support. Extendable frame supports as well as a turntable are optionally available.
•Also optionally available is a larger table top with the dimensions 1340 x 800 mm.
This larger version is available with or without a matching turntable.
•For both table sizes, single-sided and double-sided table extensions are available as accessories.
•The control panel contains the UT-300 position controller for positioning the four axes, the ON/OFF switch
for the spindle, the positioning keys, the direction of rotation switch, an emergency stop push-button, a
USB slot for software updates and backups as well as other operating switches (depending on equipment).
•The control panel can be attached either at eye level at the top or at table level on the frame support.
•The lockable main switch is mounted on the machine stand.
•A machine socket (e.g. for connecting a feeding unit) is fitted in the rear right-hand side of the machine.
•CE-compliant design.
3.1 Positioning with the Ultimo Touch 300 controller
Apart from the mechanical operating elements of the machine, operation is carried out via the Ultimo Touch 300
position controller.
•For all operating details, please refer to the separately enclosed operating instructions of the UT 300 posi-
tion controller

4.3.2 Normal Operation
Guards:Take measures to ensure that the machine can only be operated in a safe and functional
condition. Only operate the machine when all guards and safety-related devices such as
- detachable guards (e.g. tool covers and fence covers),
- emergency stop system, sound insulation, suction device etc.
are present and in working order.
Workpiece:Before machining, inspect the workpiece for foreign inclusions, knots, twists, objects
and other irregularities.
Working area:An obstacle-free work area around the machine is essential for safe operation.
The floor should be level, well maintained and free from debris such as chips and cut-off workpieces.
Rotation speed:The speed must correspond to the milling cutter and the respective operation.
The maximum speed indicated on the tool must not be exceeded. If a speed range is indicated on the
milling cutter, this must be adhered to by not going above or below the speed range stated.
Cutting area during operation:Never attempt to remove splinters, chips or other parts from the cutting
area while the machine is running! Never remove splinters and chips by hand!
- Cover the milling cutters before the fence by means of a protective device
- Clamp milling cutters as deeply as possible
- Adapt the table opening to the tool diameter with insert rings or optional Table Slide
- Place the fence halves as close as possible to the milling tool and clamp them securely
- Close the protective cover of the fence
Power feeder: Generally adjust so that the workpiece is guided safely along the fence. Set the feeder
at an angle of approx. 5° to the feed direction and keep the opening to the fence as small as possible.
Manual feeding:When feeding the workpiece manually, place the hands flat on the workpiece with
closed fingers and push forward evenly.
Special tools:For certain operating phases and operations it is necessary to use special tools
(e.g. feed device, table extensions, clamping drawer, push bar or comparable feed elements).
Single pieces / samples: Always use all protective devices and appropriate tools!
Insert milling:During insert milling, use optional table extensions with cross fences as well as a
Kickback guard adapted to the workpiece dimensions.
Workpieces with small cross-section:Always use one with a push block for machining.
Short workpieces:For short workpieces, use a workpiece holder and bridge the fence halves.
Long workpieces:When milling, generally use feather boards and table extensions and secure the work-
piece against tipping.
Narrow grooves:Always use a suitable grooving cutter (no circular saw blades).
Milling narrow cross sides:Generally feed workpiece with push block.
Curved or round workpieces: Use special suction bonnet when milling with a thrust ring or ring fence
guard.
Extraction: The machine must be connected to an effective extraction system. This requires a flow velocity
of at least 20 m/s for dry chips and 28 m/s for moist chips (moist 18 % or more).
Machine condition: Check the machine for externally visible damage and defects at least once per shift!
Any changes that have occurred (including those in the operating behaviour) must be reported immedi-
ately to the responsible office or person! If necessary, stop and secure the machine immediately!
Work interruptions: Switch off the machine even during short interruptions! Never leave the machine
running unattended!

BA_PH_245-100-300_EN_06-22.docx

4.3.3 Special work within the Scope of Maintenance Work as well as Troubleshooting
in the Workflow
Observe maintenance and inspection activities prescribed in the operating manual!
These activities, as well as all other repair work, may only be carried out by qualified personnel!
For all work concerning operation, production adjustment, conversion or setting of the machine and its
safety-related equipment as well as maintenance and repair, observe switch-on and switch-off procedures
according to the operating manual and instructions for maintenance work!
Secure the machine against unexpected restarting during maintenance and repair work.
Lock the main switch with a padlock!
Always tighten screw connections that have been loosened during maintenance and repair work!
If it is necessary to dismantle safety equipment during set-up, maintenance and repair, the safety equip-
ment must be reassembled and checked immediately after completion of the maintenance and repair
work!
Ensure safe and environmentally friendly disposal of operating and auxiliary materials (e.g. oils) and re-
placement parts (e.g. electronic components). See chapter 18 „Disassembly and Scraping“.
4.3.4 After Work
Before leaving the machine, switch off the main switch and the extraction system.
Secure the machine against unauthorised use and never leave it unattended in an unsecured condition.
Clean the machine with an industrial hoover (avoid compressed air!).
4.4 Safe Working Practices
Depending on the work to be carried out, the guards must be used for fence milling, insert milling, curved milling
and also for tenoning. Nevertheless, in order to prevent accidents, it is necessary that the user observes safe
working practices.
4.4.1 Operator Training
It is important that all users of table milling machines are adequately instructed in the use, setting and operation.
This concerns in detail:
Possible hazards that may occur when working with the machine.
The basics of machine operation, correct setting and use of the fences, templates, aids and guards.
The correct selection of the tool for the respective processing.
The safe workpiece guidance and feeding.
The correct hand position and safe stacking and unstacking of the workpieces before and after machining.
4.4.2 Stability
For safe operation of the machine, it is necessary that it is stable and securely fastened to the floor or
another safe part of the building.
4.4.3 Setting up and Adjusting the Machine
Before starting the adjustment, the machine must be disconnected from the mains supply.
For tool clamping, refer to the recommendations of the tool manufacturer.
To ensure safe and effective machining, the tool must be suitable for the material to be machined.
Tools must be sharp and mounted on carefully balanced tool holders.

BA_PH_245-100-300_EN_06-22.docx
19
4.4.4 Tool Handling
Tools must be handled with care and tool transport equipment must be used whenever possible.
4.4.5 Tool Clamping
Use suitable devices, e.g. setting gauges, to clamp the tool when the machine is at a standstill.
To keep the gap between the spindle and the table as small as possible, the matching table insert rings
must be used or the optional table slide plate (see 16.2) must be set correctly.
4.4.6 Setting the Milling Fence
For milling straight workpieces, the milling fence must always be used to ensure adequate guidance of the
workpiece.
Whenever the operation allows it (also for test cuts), an auxiliary fence must be used to keep the gap be-
tween the tool and the fence rulers as small as possible.
Whenever the working process allows it (also for test cuts), a power feeder must be used. This must be
equipped with a separate ON and OFF switch.
For manual feed at the fence, a push stick must be used together with the safety guard to support the feed.
Roller stands or table extensions must be used as supports for long workpieces.
4.4.7 Direction of Rotation
It is important that the tool is clamped in the correct direction of rotation.
The safer machining method is conventional milling. The machine user must ensure that the workpiece is
fed against the tool in the opposite direction to the spindle rotation.
Climb milling with manual feed involves considerable dangers. This operation is only permitted with ap-
propriate devices and suitable tools. If the machine is switched to climb milling, this operation must be
explicitly confirmed by the operator via the touchscreen control.
4.4.8 Speed Selection
The user must ensure that the correct speed is selected for the clamped tool.
For the optimum cutting speed, please refer to the diagram attached to the machine.
4.4.9 Machine Operation and Selection / Adjustment of Protective Devices
By using different milling spindles, tools and cutters, a large number of different machining oper-
ations can be carried out on the spindle moulder. Therefore, it is not possible to use only one pro-
tective device for all operations.
•Each operation should be considered separately. The most appropriate protective measures must be se-
lected for each specific operation.
•The type of tool, its blade projection and its height on the spindle determine the smallest possible table
opening.
•This can be achieved by selecting the appropriate table insert rings, which reduces the risk of the workpiece
catching on the edge of the opening.
•The tool must be covered as far as the respective operation permits.
•A detachable power feeder attached to machine table combined with the milling fence can provide the
most effective tool guarding. This combination is usually the best protective measure on table milling ma-
chines. The feeding device must be easily adaptable to the different workpiece dimensions and not cause
any drawing-in hazards.

BA_PH_245-100-300_EN_06-22.docx
20
4.4.9.1 Milling at the fence, where the machining extends over the full workpiece length
With workpieces that usually have a right-angled cross-section over their entire length, this machining operation
is carried out by using a milling fence. Since the fence rulers are at a 90° angle to the table top, the workpiece
can be guided at right angles along the fence rulers.
Since the opening between the fence rulers on a table milling machine must be wide enough for the tool to pass
through, unnecessary danger areas are created on the knives, on the tool body and on the spindle. The gap
between the two fence rulers must be closed as much as possible. Otherwise there is a risk that the workpiece
leading edge will catch on the edge of the take-off ruler. These hazards are avoided by the use of an auxiliary
fence or suitable fence bridges, protective inserts, etc.
The manufacture of an auxiliary fence must be carried out with care. It is recommended that the knives are
passed through by fine adjustment of the fence and not by pushing the fence into the tool by hand.
4.4.9.2 Insert Milling
Insert milling is milling at the fence, whereby the workpiece is not machined over its entire length. Instead of
starting the cut at the beginning of the workpiece, the knives must plunge into the solid material and (depending
on the requirement) plunge out again before reaching the end of the workpiece.The splinter tabs must be placed
as close as possible to the cutter.
If the workpiece cannot be held safely by hand due to its small dimensions, a tenoning clamp or another work-
piece holding device, together with a suitable guard (which secures the tool as far as possible) must be used. The
tenoning clamp must allow fast and accurate insertion of the workpiece and ensure firm clamping.
A securely fastened front cross fence as well as a kickback guard (e.g. type 1648, see section 16.10) must also
be used. For very long workpieces, use an auxiliary fence if necessary.
Quick clamps, acting either via toggle levers or eccentrics, ensure fast and convenient workpiece clamping. Quick
clamps, acting either via toggle levers or eccentrics, ensure fast and convenient workpiece clamping. Rear and/or
front cross fences attached to the fence or on the table ensure more accurate work with the tenoning clamp. In
addition, extension and retraction bars should be provided on the tenoning clamp.
4.4.9.3 Curved Milling
For shaping the workpiece to be machined, a clamping template must always be used for curve milling. The shape
of the workpiece is achieved by pressing the template against the ring fence guard (see section 14.2.6), while
the knives are simultaneously passing by.
A clamping template cannot be used if the operation makes this impossible, e.g. if
•the workpiece is so large that the use of the template makes the work impracticable or
•the workpiece is so small or so shaped that a secure fixture in the template is not possible.
4.4.9.4 Inclined Milling
A special clamping device or inclinable stop rulers must be used to ensure a secure support during inclined mill-
ing. Push sticks must be used at the end of the milling process.
4.4.9.5 Climb Milling
Climb milling is a very dangerous operation as the operator is not able to stop the sudden forward movement of
the workpiece when it is caught by the knives. In addition, the workpiece can be dangerously ejected. Climb
milling should generally be avoided, even if a clamping device or a workpiece holding device is used. If the "Climb
Milling" button is pressed on the control panel, a warning message appears on the touchscreen of the control.
The process must be confirmed by the machine operator.
4.4.9.6 Other Work
If other work is carried out on the machine, suitable clamping devices or workpiece holding devices must be used
to reduce the risk of accident.
