UNLOADING AND POSITIONING

Before unloading the machine, check the weights to be lifted reported in the table of the technical features, (see
Contents), then remove everything is on the machine that might hinder the unloading operation.
Unload the machine by a crane and sling it either with robust ropes and steel cables as shown in figure 1-2, or with a
fork lift truck to be placed under the base (Fig. 1/A). These means shall have a capacity higher than the global weight
to unload. To protect the paint from the rope friction, put rags between the ropes and the machine.
Lift slowly, check the machine balance, lay gently.
Use rollers to carry the machine to the work station.
Put the machine in the position marked in the working area, placing it where the connection to the electric line is the
easiest, and near a coupling of the chip suction plant.
While machining long pieces, pay attention not to cause any crush danger between the machine and the fixed parts of
the surrounding area.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The connection of the machine to the main power must be carried out by a skilled electrician in accordance with the
specifications of the standards in force.
Turn the main switch to "0".
Ensure that the main power line is not under tension before starting to connect the machine.
The manufacturer of the machine is not responsible for general protection against short circuit.
The user must connect the machine to the power line, fitting a set of three fuses. For this purpose the following table
shows the recommended values of the fuses which had better be type SIEMENS 5SB NEOZED, depending on the
power absorbed by the machine and the line voltage.
The same table recommends the minimum wire section to be used for connection. The wire entry is on the rear of
the machine.
- The conductors must be connected to the terminals marked:
L1 - L2 - L3
and the yellow and green earth wire to the terminal:
PE
A good earth socket is recommended.
The neutral lead is not connected.
Start the machine for a few seconds to ensure that the tool is turning in the direction indicated by the arrows on the
plate of the casing. If not, switch off the machine, disconnect the power and invert the two phases.

6.8.

PNEUMATIC FEED

Pneumatic feed: dry, filtered and lubricated compressed air. Pressure used must be by 0,5~0,8 Mpa. For
connection use a plastic pipe by 8mm outer diameter.

6.9.

SUCTION

Before starting up the machine, connect it to a suction hood. The connection has to be done in such a way that the
machine automatically activates the suction hood.
For instance, an induction coil can be installed on a supply cable properly connected to the electric system of the
suction hood. The user will be charged for this modification and has to ask a skilled electrician to carry it out..
With 4-shaft machines connected to 4 flexible hoses (150 mm inner diameter, hardly inflammable type), the suction

plant should provide a capacity of at least 8740 m /h.


With 5-shaft machines connected to 5 flexible hoses (150 mm inner diameter, hardly inflammable type), the suction

plant should provide a capacity of at least 10925 m /h.


With 6-shaft machines connected to 6 flexible hoses (150 mm inner diameter, hardly inflammable type), the suction

plant should provide a capacity of at least 13110 m /h.


Suction speed should be at least 30-34 m/sec.

K = 2 dB (A)

Attention!
Prolonged exposure to a level higher than 85 dB (A) may cause damage to your health; users are always
recommended to make use of suitable personal protection systems (e.g. headphones , ear plugs).
The values shown are production levels and are not necessarily levels for safe working. While there is a
relationship between production levels and exposure levels, this may not be used reliably to determine whether any
further precautions are necessary. Factors which influence the real level of exposure for workers include the
duration of exposure, the characteristics of the buildings, other sources of dust and noise etc., for example the
number of machines and other processes being carried out nearby. The allowed level of exposure may also vary
from one country to another. Anyway, this information will enable the user to make a better assessment of the
dangers and risks involved.

up your cuffs; take off your tie, which can entangle in the most various places; gather your hair properly; use
accident-preventing shoes, as worldwide recommended.
Always make use of eye protectors.
Never work too long or too short pieces for the machine capacity; only pieces correctly borne and safely driven
by the machine can be worked.
The working cycle has to be started only when the tool holder shaft rotates at its highest speed.
If any drawback occurs, stop the machine immediately. Do not move away chips or splinters while the piece to
be machined is being fed.
Never use cracked and deformed tools.
Never use tools at a higher speed than the values reported on themselves and in the tables applied on the
machine.
Make sure that rotating tools are perfectly balanced, sharpened, keyed and clamped.
Before assembling any tool in its seat or shaft, make sure that the supporting surfaces are clean, perfectly flat
and without any dent.
Never start up the machine before having properly installed all casings on tools, belts, chains, etc.
Clamp to the prescribed couple screws, bolts or ring nuts, having care to respect the ordinary clamping values
and not to use levers or striking on the wrenches.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The machine connection to the mains has to be done by a skilled technician.
Any operation concerning the electric system is to be done by an electrotechnician.
Any adjusting or equipping operation has to be done when tools are standstill.
To avoid jamming, move the main switch onto 0 and wait until tools come to a complete stop.
Brake motor machines are fitted with a long duration braking device. If braking time is higher than the one
prescribed, for any adjustment see the section about the brake motor.
In order to guarantee a safe and efficient working, use tools appropriate to the material to be machined.
The tool must turn in the right direction of rotation. The operator has to be sure that the machine works in the
desired direction, and that the material is fed in the direction opposite to the shaft rotation.
Provide for a safe control of the piece to be machined (see section EXAMPLES MACHINING TYPES).
Carefully check each wooden piece condition before operating. Pieces can dangerously turn back if they have
knots, splittings or foreign objects, such as rivets.

10. TOOL ASSEMBLY


Tools shall be manufactured in conformity with the European Standard pr EN 847-1.
On tools to be used on machines with integrated feeding must be marked permanently and clearly with:
- the manufacturers name or the trade-mark;
- outside diameter x cutting length x hole diameter;
- allowed speed area;
- MEC;
- year of manufacturing (it can be a code).
- Make sure that the tool in use is chosen, sharpened, maintained and adjusted in conformity with the directions of
the tool manufacturer.
- Tools have to be sharpened and properly assembled with tools and supports carefully balanced.
- Take the necessary precautions while handling the tools; use gauntlets as often as you can.
- The tools made of only one material must not have any flaw.
- The tools and their components have to be fastened so that they do not loosen while operating.
- Screws and locking nuts have to be tightened to the couple prescribed by the manufacturer through appropriate
tools.
- Implement extensions and hammer clamping are not allowed.
- The clamping surfaces have to be free from dirt, grease, oil and water.
- The use of detachable rings or tool bushes is allowed only if they are supplied by the manufacturer.
- Remove resin from light metal alloy tools only with solvents not etching aluminium.
- Precaution is needed while repairing tools for wood machining.
- The design of complex tools (with built-up cutting edges) has not to be altered during repair.
- Compound tools have to be repaired only by skilled and trained technicians who must know the design features
as well as the safety level to be reached.
- Tool repair will include the utilization of spare parts according to the specifications of the original parts supplied
by the manufacturer.
- For one-piece tools, take the necessary precautions so that the regrinding of the cutting edge does not weaken
the body of the tool and the edges connection on the body.
For assembly proceed as follows:
- Position the starting switches on "0".
- Position the main switch on 0 and lock it.
- Assemble tool (Fig. 6-7)(3) on shaft (1), using spacer rings (2) if necessary.
- Screw snap ring (4) and fasten with double head spanner (5/6) holding part (6) and turning part (5) clockwise.
- To assemble shaving milling cutter (Fig. 7)(7) on the preplaner shaft follow the above-mentioned instructions, not
forgetting to offset the cutting edges of the milling cutter with those of the tool.
- Replace all guards of the chip suction hoods.
- Make sure that the tool is properly assembled with regard to the shaft direction of rotation.
To change cutters, loosen locking screws of wedge (Fig. 6)(1), so that springs push the cutter upwards; then
remove the cutter in axial direction.
After setting up the new cutter, install the tool on the adjusting device. To guarantee a perfect parallelism to the table,
it is sufficient to put the cutter on the adjuster reference line (Fig. 6A)(1) and proceed as follows:
- screw clamp screws (Fig. 6)(2) first moderately, then with greater strength, starting from the central screws, then
alternatively from one end to another; do not use extensions or hammers; use wrench only. Repeat until you have
changed all cutters. Once cutters have been replaced or sharpened, check that the thickness corresponds to the
value of the indicator.
Interchangeable TERSA knives slide on one side inside a longitudinal groove, parallely to a wedge that, pushed by
the centrifugal force, guarantees a uniform and steady locking along all the head length. Adjustment is automatic by
means of the perfect adjusting of the reverse profiles of the groove and the cutter.
Tools must be changed as follows:
- unlock the tool stopping device giving a light blow to the self-locking bolt (Fig. 6B)(1);
- remove the reversible tool and introduce a new reversing section, or change tool (2).
Then start up the machine. Thanks to the centrifugal force, tools automatically lock.
Cutter position adjustment procedure with respect to tables
Cutter adjustment to vertical reference fence and horizontal table should be made by taking the right-hand vertical
shaft as an example.
Apply the tool gauge to the side of the vertical reference fence, then adjust cutters until one of the edges touches the
gauge itself. While adjusting, manually turn the cutter opposite to the cutting direction, up to a point when friction
between the edge and the gauge can be barely perceived but not heard: this indicates proper adjustment of the
cutter. Once this is done, move on to set the digital indicator. (Fig. 6)
14

11. PREPLANER TABLE AND INFEED FENCE


- To adjust preplaner table (Fig. 7)(1), loosen handle (2) and adjust it on the straightening value of the lower edge,
considering that the max. bending of the piece can be 10 mm.
Reference "0" of the millimetre plate corresponds to the working table.
- To adjust side fence (3) loosen handle (4) and adjust it on the desired straightening value of the vertical wall, still
considering that the max. piece bending is 10 mm.
Reference "0" of the millimetre plate relates to the first fixed right fence, placed behind the preplaner shaft.
If adjusting the preplaner shaft sliding capacity is needed, release or tension spring (5).
In order to make easier to feed andload short (min length 250 mm) and thin pieces, the machine can be equipped
with an additional infeed driving roller (6).
Besides, when this unit is inserted, it is possible to maintain the natural bending of the piece on the lower side and
on the infeed fence side. To work long pieces, take off this unit.

21. CLEANING AND LUBRICATING.


Frequent maintenance ensures your machine will last longer and always provide optimal performances.
Plus, also overall cleaning of the machine and of the surrounding floor will improve overall safety.
Frequent cleaning:
Clean the machine using a solvent and compressed air to avoid the formation of scales, particularly on the table,
slideways, shafts and cavities, wherever residues of dust and chips are visible.
When using compressed air, avoid pointing the jet towards fences and supports, to prevent chips from
accumulating in the tool support and in the spindle bearings.
When cleaning and lubricating, make sure not to apply grease to belts or drive pulleys, as this might compromise
machine operation.
If required, clean belts with a cloth or a rag and use kerosene or turpentine for the pulleys.
Avoid all contact between belts and solvents or lubricants.
Besides the above mentioned items, clean or lubricate all moving parts, rods, threaded bars, pins and any other part
which may be prone to oxidizing.
Lubrication:
Prior to any repair and maintenance operation, disconnect the electrical and pneumatic mains power supply.
Lubricate at a temperature higher than 120C and use lubricant ZG-3 ,ZG-0, gear oil 90#, motor oil N46.
Roller gearbox:
check oil level through the indicator. Oil should be added or replaced when below the required level or when level is
not visible.
a)
b)

Slacken the drain cap and let all impurities flow out from then bottom, then close.
Pour oil through the filter until the level is up to the line marked on the indicator.

22. BELT TENSIONING AND REPLACEMENT


During the first usage period of the machine, belts will break in and this will unavoidably reduce tension.
After a few days' usage, re-adjust belt tension, without overtensioning, to avoid overloading and damaging motor
and shaft bearings.
Inspect belts at least once every 2 months to check for wear and restore an optimal tensioning.
Tension is to be checked by applying pressure on belts halfway through their length: a belt sagging of approx. 10
mm should be noticed.
To tension or replace belts, lockout the main switch after setting it to "0", then remove the machine rear guard.
Belt tensioning - upper and lower horizontal shafts
a) Slacken the nut in the tie-rod fixed to the motor flange.
b) Axially adjust the motor by acting on the tie-rod until belts are tensioned as indicated above
c) Re-tighten the tie-rod nut.
Belt tensioning - left- and right-hand vertical shafts
a) Slacken the 4 motor flange fastening screws.
b) Tension the belt by prying on the motor flange using the wrench supplied (1) (Fig. 18)

TROUBLESHOOTING

FAULT REMEDY

The display does not show


the numbers.

Check whether the 220V or 110V AC


electrical power supply voltage is
normal.
Check whether the fuse has blown or is
broken.
If both the above points have been
verified, the control circuit is out of order.

Reconnect the correct electrical


voltage.

The numbers displayed are not correct.

Correct the dimensions on the


programmer according to the real
dimensions.
Calculate and enter the parameter
again.
If the numbers are still displayed in
an irregular fashion, send the
programmer to the supplier for
repair.
If the indicator lights do not come on,
replace the proximity switch.

The display shows the


numbers, but in an irregular
fashion.

The parameter is not correct.


After completing steps 1 and 2, turn off
the power switch and then turn it on
again.
The display shows the
numbers, but when the
bottom/top motor is running,
the number does not change
according to the machine's
modification of the real
dimensions.

If the proximity switch is used with


normal induction, the coming on and
going off of the indicator light of the
switch corresponds to the top or bottom
indexing of the table.
If the distance between the sensor and
the disc is greater than 1 mm.
If the ENCODER is used, verify that the
ENCODER functions according to the
top and bottom indexing of the table.

Incorrect values displayed.

Verify whether the A B phase complies


with the correct value of the 12 VDC
encoder signal.
Check the data reset of the programmer
and the encoder's resolution

Replace with a new 1A fuse.


Send to the supplier for repair.

Adjust the distance between the


sensor and the disc, which must be
less than 1 mm.
If the ENCODER's axial connector
and the table are disassembled or
damaged, replace them with new
ones and carry out the repair.
If there are no changes in the A B
phases, replace the ENCODER.
The programmer's parameter does
not conform to the table. Correct the
parameter.
