INSTALLATION OF THE MACHINE
The following minimum conditions are required to choose a suitable room where the
equipment will be installed:
- Mains voltage and frequency in accordance with motor’s specifications.
- Ambient temperature from - 10°C to + 50°C.
- Relative humidity less than 90%.
212 / 212Z
Anchoring the machine
The machine must be placed on a solid concrete floor, at a minimum distance of 800mm between the rear
side of the machine and the wall, and must be anchored in the ground using screws and expansion plugs or
encased tie rods. Attention must be paid when levelling the machine.
Assembling the machine
1. Clamp the worktable on the column.
2. Install the machine in a room/place where the ambient temperature is homogeneous. Make sure that the
machine is not exposed to sunlight, otherwise there is a risk of distortion and loss of accuracy.
3. Before final connection to the mains, check that the motor rotates clockwise.
4. The Model 212 must be mounted on a stable workbench or on a pedestal base. It is essential that the
workbench used for the installation is free of distortion. It should also be rigid enough to prevent any
oscillation or vibration during operation.
5. The machine base has two slotted holes for the fixing screws. Before tightening the screws, check that
the clamping table is aligned in the longitudinal and transverse directions in relation to the rotating work
spindle. To do this, insert a dial gauge with 1/1000 reading with the corresponding attachment into the
spindle and align the table accordingly. For alignment, appropriate metal foils of suitable thickness (feeler
gauges) are to be inserted between the mounting level and the machine base.
Cleaning and lubrication of the machine
For transport purposes, all unpainted parts of the machine are coated with an anti-corrosion grease. This
protection must be completely removed before the machine is put into operation. Use petroleum or mineral
oil for this purpose.
Caution: Do not use any kind of paint thinner, otherwise the paint on the machine will be destroyed. Make
sure that rubber or plastic parts are not in contact with solvents or grease.
After cleaning, all unpainted parts should be coated with a light film of oil of medium viscosity (PROMAC
Part no. 100385).
Cooling lubricant
The Model 212 can be equipped with the coolant system PROMAC Part no. 2064. We recommend the
biological cooling lubricant PROMAC Part no. 9179, container 5kg. The minimum dilution of oil in water is 5-
10%.
Preparatory works before commissioning
Check all parts of the machine for perfect condition and function before commissioning. As far as the
relevant safety precautions and the correct operation of the machine are observed, the accuracy of the
machine is ensured for a long time.

AFTER OPERATION
a) Switch off the machine and disconnect it from the mains.
b) Unclamp the tool.
c) Clean the machine, oil bare parts, guides and spindles.
d) Cover the machine with a cloth to protect it from dust and dirt.
ADJUSTMENT AND SETTING OF THE WORKTABLE
Always wear safety googles!
a) To raise or lower the worktable, loosen the clamping lever so that the table can be raised and lowered
on the column via the rack.
When the desired height is reached, tighten the clamping lever again to avoid vibrations.
b) The worktable can be rotated 360° after loosening the clamping screw. Once the desired angular
position has been set, tighten the clamping screw again.
ADJUSTMENT FOR DRILLING
a) Set the drilling depth using the depth stop.
b) The drilling feed is now carried out by turning the cross handle.
T-SLOTS ON WORKTABLE AND BASE
For safe working, the workpiece must always be firmly clamped on the cross table using a suitable
clamping tool. The T-slots in the worktable have a dimension of 12 mm. A large selection of suitable
clamping tools can be found in the PROMAC metalworking machines catalogue.
