B. The drilling devices provided with the machine must be fastened and adjusted
correctly.
C. The machine must undergo ordinary and extraordinary maintenance procedures at
the requested frequency.
D. The person in charge of the machine must wear appropriate clothing according to
security regulations regarding the type of activity that shall be performed,
(protection gloves, shoes, protection eyeglasses). Always keep in mind to avoid
using bracelets, ties, garments that could get entangled.
E. Respect a sufficient safety distance input and output drilling at input and output
drilling machine.Before starting any operation w ith the machine, be sure that around
the working area (see chart XXX) people or any other obstacles that could be
sources of danger are away from it.
F. Always use protective gloves when changing or checking tool

CAP. 4 INSTALLATION
4.1 MACHINE DISPLACEMENT
The machine must be lifted and transported only by a lifting truck or a forklift whose
forks are to be inserted under the base. See the following picture Use extreme
caution when lifting of relocating the machine so as to avoid any possible danger
due to sudden movements, which could provoke damage to people or objects. The
weight of the machine is cited on the identification plate attached to the side of the
machine itself.
4.2 MACHINE PLACING
The position of the machine must be performed on a firm surface suited to carry the weight of the
machine, any differences in level must be in line with building regulations. If the machine must be
placed on a mezzanine (upper floor) the supporting slab must be adapted to the weight of the
machine. Place the machine in an expedient position, according to operational requirements,
putting it where it’s easier to reach an electric line and near a connector for shaving suction. Place
the machine in a place where there’s enough light to guarantee the sight of each part of the
machine.

4.4 INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
THE WIRE WITH 3 OPERATING HEADS MUST HAVE A MINIMUM SECTION OF MMQ. X 6.
NB. Recommendation: the machine must be
wired by skilled technicians.
To access the electrical system of the machine,
rotate the control activation knob (A) towards
position 0and open the gate (B) twisting off
the locks (C). The machine shouldn’t be wired until it’s been
placed on its right place.
Before wiring the machine, you must check that the electrical
system meets the following power and safety
requirements:
-presence of fuses or protection circuit breakers against short circuits on each wire line: L1-
L2-L3-N, except for the ground wire.
-the electrical system must meet IEC 408 regulations
-an equipotential ground system must be present.
Verify that the line voltage is equal to the voltage
marked on the tag of the powerboard. In case the
machine reports a different voltage from the line
voltage, please consult out technical department.
Pass the feeding wire through the specially
provided press wire (D) to avoid the entry of dust
inside the powerboard and compromise the
tightness and wire it to the line terminal and to the
ground connection terminal. it evidences to you in
the following figures
B
A
C
D

Rel. 03
14
Verify that the section of the feeding wire is able to support the power that the machine uses up in
full load. For greater safety, the wire must be protected from involuntary crushing by a raceway or
an anti-crushing sheathing.
Before beginning the work, verify that the rotation direction of the spindles corresponds to
the direction of the pointer applied to the drilling units. In case the spindles rotate in
opposite direction, you must reverse two phases in the line connection.
4.5 AIR CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Connect the machine to the air feeder using a tube with an inside
diameter of 10mm.
Connect the FRL group to the air piping. The group has a ½” Gas
(UNI – 339-66) threaded feeding hole. The minimum line pressure
must be of 0.8 MPa. This is necessary to guarantee a fast response
of the air cylinders and to avoid, during operation, a drop of the
pressure under 0.6 MPa.
4.6 INSTRUCTIONS CONNECTING INTAKE SYSTEM
Connect the intake system, the connection shown in the figure. Use
a tube inside diameter 120mm.
