"Service conditions".) 1. Install the machine at the flat and stable place. 2. Do not install the machine at the place near fire or heating element, or where temperature steeply changes. 3. Do not install the machine at the place under sunlight, near a vent hole, or with a high temperature. 4. Use dry clean air for the air blast equipment. © Operation 1. Confirm the following before turning on the power: * No obstacle is left near the machine. % The CNC controller door is close. 2, Wear the uniform suitable for the operation. (Safety shoes, protectors, goggles, etc.) Confirm the following before starting the operation: % No dirt or dust is found on the taper portion at the end of the spindle. * No dirt or dust is found on the taper portion of the tool held by the magazine, or no chipping or abrasion is found on each section of the machine. * The tool is securely held and no pull-stud is loosened. Do not touch the rotational or moving element during operation: 5. Use components specified by us for the electrical equipment in the CNC controller.6, Turn off the power before leaving the machine. 7. Be sure to warn up the machine before restarting it after shutdown for 3 days or more. (For spindle rotation, table movement, and ATC) © Adjustment and component installation 1, Turn off the power before starting adjustment and checking. 2. Do not use compressed air to clean the machine body, CNC controller, and operation panel, or to eliminate chips. Pay special attention to protecting the machine from water. = 10 -II Outline Sea1.

It is possible, therefore, to transport the machine by simply dis~ connecting the power cord. Before transporting the machine, fix the spindle head and the table using the transport metal fixture and clamping bolts. In consideration of the weight (TC-215: 1140 kg, TC-225: 1880kg) the machine should be transported by forklift by inserting the fork arms under the legged machine base. Be careful not to vibrate the machine or subject it to shocks during transportation. Afcer completion of the transportation, loosen the clamping bolts and remove the transport metal fixture.

Place a level at the center of the table top as shown in the figure below and adjust the anchor bolt at the bottom of the base so that the difference of reading between longitudinal (X-axis) and cross (Y-axis) directions will be 0.0004 inch or less and then fix the bolt with a locknut. Check the level for several days. After that, regularly check it according to necessity. Be sure to use the leveling plate, the standard accessory, under the anchor bolt.

Power supply connection Connection between the power supply and the CNC controller should be made by customers, When opening or closing the control case door, conform to the following: Before opening the door ~~ Be eure to set the breaker handle to "reset". Before closing the door ~~ Be sure to set the breaker handle to "ose", Use a 4-core vinyl cabtyre cable and be sure to make earthing. (Class 3 level earthing) Be sure to make exclusive connéction to prevent the machine from being affected by other large equipment. To connect the CNC system, use a non-fuse breaker conforming to the specifications and procedure shown in the table below.
