Installation - Ferm BLM1002 Gebrauchsanweisung

• Never turn the ends around the fingers, never push
sand-paper on the piece of work with your hands.
• By turning, edges of the piece of work exist which are
sharp as a razor. These edges have to be smoothed
off with a file or a trimming hook.
• Never remove chipcurls with your hands
Use a little hook which has been made by yourself of
thread or buy a professional chips hook.
• Never grip over the turning machine or chuck when
during turning something falls in or behind the bed.
Always first stop the machine. See that the covering
plate lies on the opening in the bed.
• A good lighting prevents that you operate the
machine from too close by.
• If you apply strip light you have to make allowance for
the so-called strobosto scopic effect. Through this a
turning object seems to stand still. A solution is the use
of double armatures by which a phase shifting of the
two strip lights has been accomplished.
• Emergency stop
If a dangerous situation arises unexpectedly, for
example if a badly exerted piece of work seems to get
loose during turning, you van use the emergency
stop by giving a tap on the yellow cover of the safety
switch, marked "STOP". The machine now stops
without pushing in the switch button yourself.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Always check that the power supply corresponds to
the voltage on the rating plate.
Replacing cables or plugs
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they
have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert
the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.

INSTALLATION

SPACE
Next to a good maintenance it is very important the
machine is installed drily, as the machine has been built
up for de biggest part of metal. Spaces can become moist
by insufficient or a wrong ventilation, burning not
regularly or by raced walls and lifting moisture.
Condensation of moisture on the metal is caused by
suddenly raising the temperature in a cold space. See
that the temperature is equable.
UNPACKING AND INSTALLING
The machine is packed in a strong case which you can
dismantle to six flat parts which can be put away easily.
These parts can be saved in case you have to transport
the lathe, for example for repair or for a removal. After
you have opened the case the lathe has to be detached
from the pallet. For this you have to remove two nuts, in
each bedfoot one. Later the nuts can be used again. For
lifting up the lathe you may call in the help of an assistent,
this depends on the weight. Before you begin you have to
arrange how to lift the machine. You should rather put
the machine from the pallet on the permanent
destination at one go. The best thing is to grip the
machine at the ends of the bed, so do not grip it on the
heads, transporter, change wheel case or motor! The
apparatus weights roughly 115 kg. For reducing the
weight temporary a number of parts can be removed
carefully, like the tail stock, the turning plate with
building and the discs from iron cast. The lathe has to be
level and it has to be installed on a strong bottom. If you
make an under-carriage yourself you can use a steel U-
profile of sufficient lenght, on which you can sold or
screw a leg construction. You can also use a strong
wooden lower case with a strengthened and flat upper
blade, for example by means of a piece of multiple
worktop. The conditi on is that the formation has to be
stiff in every directions and that it cannot fling about,
bend or wobble. The lathe is fixed with two bolts M10 in
the special gaps in both bottom plates.
You can take the following precautionary measures
for preventing that small roughnesses still cause
tension on the bed if you tighten the two bolts. You draw the
place of the two bottom platesand the two assembling gaps
and you assemble two bolts M10 in the foundation. Put on the
drawn places a layer epoxy filling. Install a plastic foil on this.
See that the bolts stay clear! Then install the workbench on the
drawn place. Use the two bolts for this as the conductor. Let
down the bed on the foil and then harden the filling. After that
you can provide the bolts with the nuts which are also used for
the transport, and then you can tighten these ones again.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
After the motor has been installed permanently a
connection to the electrical installation has to be made.
The machine has been made for use on the existing 230
Volts alternating current mains and hasn't a power
bigger than other big household equipment with a
motor. Have an earthed power point installed in the
nearness of the machine and see that the lead can be
guided to the contact without cracks and pulls. If need be
an earthed extension cable can be used, but see that the
cable is unrolled entirely and that it is not in the way.
