Disposing of the machine
The transportation and protective packaging is made of the following materials:
■Corrugated card
■Polystyrene without Freon
■Polyethylene foil
■Timber as single-use pallet (untreated)
■Euro pallet (multiple use packaging)
If you no longer need the items, or you do not want to reuse them, dispose of these items at the
officially recognised recycling points.
The machine is manufactured in such a way that 98% of the used materials that can be recycled, for
example, steel, cast iron, aluminium and only 2% are chemical materials, e.g. cable sleeves of
electrical cables, PCBs.
If you have any difficulties in disposing of these parts properly, we would be happy to help: with prior
agreement we will take back the machine in full and dispose of it. You must, however, cover the costs
of sending it to us.

1. Important safety notes
1.5 Safety features
1.5.1 For all lathes
In order to enable you to work safely with our machines, we have incorporated the following safety
mechanisms. These meet the relevant European safety requirements.
■Chuck protection hood
The main spindle of the machine operates only with the chuck protection hood closed. For safety
reasons, if the chuck protection hood is open, the machine cannot be switched on.
■Gear cover hood
Always keep the gear cover hood closed. The gear cover hood may only be opened by a trained
person with a special key and when the grounded plug has been pulled out of the socket.
■ON/OFF switch with under-voltage trigger
The ON/OFF switch is fitted with an under-voltage trigger, thus, in the event of a power failure, the
machine does not switch itself back on automatically. This prevents risks caused by the
unexpected motion of the spindle.
■Emergency off switch
The emergency off switch acts to quickly stop the machine.
■Overload protection
The machine is fitted with an overload protection feature. This overload protection feature switches
the main drive motor off automatically when the machine is overloaded. The machine can only
then be switched on after a waiting period.
1.5.2 For lathes to be mounted to a CNC control and CNC lathes
■Safety cabin (optional)
In order for the machine to operate in CNC mode, the door to the safety cabin must be closed.
You can only work in CNC mode with the doors closed.
Work carried out in conventional mode is carried out with the door open. The mode switch must be
switched to manual mode.
The main spindle can be switched on when the doors are closed or open.
Working in CNC mode without safety cabin may pose a serious risk to the machine
operator and cause serious accidents.
1.5.3 For CNC lathes
■Switch for operating modes (only for CNC machines)
The mode switch has 3 settings (CNC mode – Idle position – Manual mode) that can only be
selected with a key. After selecting the mode, the key can be removed in order to prevent a
switching of the mode type by unauthorised persons.

15
1. Important safety notes
1.6 Explanations of the symbols
With an emission noise level as of 80 dB (A) at the workplace
ear defenders must be worn
Caution:
Always pull the power plug prior to any maintenance work!
Read the operating instructions prior to initial operation or
maintenance work!
Caution:
Dangerous electric voltage!
2. Delivery and set up
The machine is packed with care at the factory.
The following should be checked after delivery:
1. Whether the packaging shows damages to be reported or
2. Whether the machine shows transportation damages to be reported If this is the case, we ask you
to communicate this information immediately. Subsequent claims cannot be recognised.
The machine must be set up on a suitable, even and firm surface.
Suitable surfaces are, for example:
■A tool cabinet (available optionally)
■A separate workbench with a level surface (spirit level) that is strong enough to carry the weight of
the lathe without bending.
■A steel plate with a level surface (spirit level)
The machine must be screwed securely to the surface it is set up on. There are holes in the base of
the machine that are designed for this purpose. Good working results and low-vibration operation
can only be ensured when the prerequisites for fixture as set out above are maintained.

16
2. Delivery and set up
The place of set up should be selected in such a way that
■There is sufficient lighting
■The electrical power supply with safety socket and earth are installed close enough to the machine
that the power cable is not subject to any strain.
■The power cable should also be dimensioned in such a way that a multiple socket can be used, for
example, to power a coolant system.
2.1 Transporting the machine
We recommend two people to lift the machine, using the positions shown (1).
To do this, a sufficiently dimensioned, at least Ø 20 mm steel rod is pushed through the main spindle.
The machine should be carried and balanced by one person at the steel rod and by the other person,
at the shown position on the opposite underside of the bed.
Due to the weight of the machine it is advisable to lift the machine by crane, if this is possible. To lift,
wrap suitable lashing (2) as shown around the two outer struts of the ribbing of the machine bed.
When lifting, pay attention to an ergonomic stance and sufficient safety!
In the delivered state, the machine feet have two transport straps attached. These secure the
machine to the transportation pallet. They must be removed before setting the machine up.

17
3. Putting into operation
3.1 For all lathes
■Use a dry cloth to remove the corrosion protection that was applied to all exposed parts for
transport
■In the event of marine impregnation of exposed parts, it is recommended you spray them with oil,
allow it to work, and then remove the impregnation with a dry cloth
■Once set up properly (see the section on delivery and set up) connect the grounded plug directly
to a safety socket and the 230 V 50/60 Hz (optional 110 V 60 Hz) mains power supply

3.2.1 Setting up and connecting the control computer
When selecting a suitable control computer, pay attention to the system prerequisites of the
control software. These are listed on the rear of the CD case sent with the machine.
Follow the instructions in the start manual of the software to install the control software on the
computer. The start manual can be found in the CD case of the control software included with the
machine.
In the next step, the software must be adapted to your machine. To do this, follow the instructions sent
with the machine which detail the editing of the parameters.
When the software has been successfully installed on the control computer and all parameters have
been adapted successfully, the control computer must be connected with the machine controller.
The machine controller communicates with the computer via the serial interface (COM port). In order
to establish a connection between the machine controller and the computer, connect the end of the
interface cable that is on the machine console to the COM port of the computer.
CAUTION:
The axis cable of the multiphase motors and the serial interface cable may only be plugged or
unplugged with the control switched off. Otherwise damages to the control, the machine or the
control computer may occur!
