In the description of work on the drilling-milling machine we highlight the dangers specific to that
work.
1.9 Disconnecting the machine and making it safe
Pull the main plug before beginning any maintenance or repair work.
Using lifting equipment
Warning!
Use of unstable lifting equipment and load-suspension devices that break under load can cause
very serious injuries or even death.
Check that the lifting equipment and load-suspension devices are of sufficient load capacity and
in perfect condition.
Observe the rules for preventing accidents issued by your association for the prevention of
occupational accidents and safety in the workplace or other inspection authorities.

Emissions
The noise level (emission) of the drilling-milling machine ranges below 78 dB(A). If the drilling-
milling machine is installed in an area where various machines are in operation, the acoustic
influence (inmission) on the user of the drilling-milling machine may exceed 85 dB(A) in the
working area.
We recommend the use of soundproofing and ear protection. Remember that the duration of the
noise pollution, the type and characteristics of the work area and operation of other machines
influence the noise level in the working area.

3. Assembly and Connection
The drilling-milling machine comes pre-assembled.
3.1 Extent of supply
When the drilling-milling machine is delivered, check immediately that the machine has not
been damaged during transport and that all components are included. Also check that no
fastening screws have come loose.
Compare the parts supplied with the information on the packaging list.
3.2 Transport
Warning!
Machine parts falling off forklift trucks or other transport vehicles could cause very serious or
even fata injuries. Follow the instructions and information on the transport case:
• Centers of gravity,
• Suspension points,
• Weights,
• Means of transport to be used,
• Prescribed shipping position.
Use of unstable lifting equipment and load-suspension devices that break under load can cause
very serious injury or even death.
Check that the lifting and load-suspension gear has sufficient load capacity and that it is in
perfect condition.
Observe the rules for preventing accidents.
Holds the load properly.
Never walk under suspended loads.
3.3 Storage
Improper storage may cause important parts to be damaged or destroyed.
Store packed or unpacked parts only under the intended environmental conditions.
Consult Chester UK if the machine or accessories have to be stored for a period of over three
months or under different environmental conditions than those given here.
3.4 Installation and assembly
The work area for operation, maintenance and repair work must not be hindered. The mains
plug of the drilling-milling machine must be freely accessible.
Proceed with extreme caution when lifting, installing and assembling the machine. Danger of
crushing and overturning.
• Secure the load-suspension device around the drill-mill head. Use a lifting sling for this
purpose.
• Clamp all the clamping levers at the machine before lifting it.
9

• Make sure that no add-on pieces or varnished
parts are damaged due to the load-suspension.
• Check the horizontal orientation of the base of
the machine with a spirit level.
• Check that the foundation has sufficient floor-
load capacity and rigidity.
Insufficient rigidity of the foundation leads to the
superposition of vibrations between the drilling-
milling machine and the foundation (natural
frequency of components). Insufficient rigidity of
the entire milling machine assembly also rapidly
causes the machine to reach critical speeds, with
unpleasant vibrations, leading to bad milling
results.
• Position the drilling-milling machine on the
intended foundation.
• Attach the drilling-milling machine using the provided recesses in the machine base.
3.5 First use
Cleaning and lubricating.
Remove the anticorrosive agent applied on the drilling-milling machine for transport and storage
purposes. We recommend the use of kerosene.
Do not use any solvents, thinners or other cleaning agents which could corrode the varnish on
the drilling-milling machine. Follow the specifications of the manufacturer of the cleaning agent.
Cleaning the machine.
Lubricate all bright machine parts with non-corrosive lubricating oil.
Grease the machine according to the lubrication chart.
Check smooth running of all spindles.
Connect the electrical power cable (shockproof plug).
