4 INTENDED USE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE

Floor drilling machines (Art. T071) are machine-tools designed for executing some simple
mechanical operations, such as:
 drilling (max drilling capacity: 28 mm);
 threading;
 boring and spot-facing.

m
The machine is made to perform such machining of different materials, changing the tool
depending on the operation to be performed and the material of the work-piece.

The machine has 16 different spindle rotation speeds. The motor runs at constant speed: the

o
machine is equipped with a specific power transmission system by belts for varying the
spindle rotation speed.
The latter can be set by moving the belts on the pulley grooves of the transmission system.
In any case, the adjustment of the spindle speed must always be performed with the machine

c
stopped and not powered.

.i
With the T071 drill the tool feed is manual only.

Intended use and materials

v
The machine has been designed and manufactured for the use specified. Any use and lack of
respect for the technical parameters established by the manufacturer may be dangerous to
operators; therefore, the manufacturer cannot assume any liability for resulting damages.

r
4.1 Usage environment and support surface

e
The Drilling Machine is equipped with a support base and must be installed and used on flat
surfaces, with ergonomic features and adequate resistance.

f
It is very important to remember that the machine weight is about 200 kg. For this reason,
before installing the machine it is necessary to identify an area having a surface of adequate
hardness and strength, capable of supporting such weight.
You should leave enough space around the machine to ensure proper maintenance and
cleaning of all parts of the machine.

The Drill can operate in enclosed working environments (production departments,

warehouses, etc.), i.e. those that are protected from the weather and where there is no
danger of fire or explosion.
The operating temperature is within the range of +5 / +50°C.
The environment must also be sufficiently illuminated so as to ensure operation in maximum
safety (at least 50 lux is recommended).

Risks associated with the work environment

ALWAYS comply with the instructions about the machine's work environment, especially about
the safety and strength features of the surface.

6.4 Electrical safety devices

In the event of its malfunction or failure, the machine is equipped with an electric cable which
has an earthing lead to protect the operator from electrocution (electric shock). This lead
provides a path of minimal resistance to the electric current; thus it reduces the danger of
electrocution.

Electric shock

m
Improper connection of the machine’s grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric
shock. Do not make any modifications to the electrical system.
The machine must be connected to an electrical system with plant grounding and
devices for the automatic interruption of the power supply to ensure an adequate

o
level of protection.
If you are not sure whether the electrical system connected to the network which
the machine is equipped with is grounded or if you doubt its effectiveness, perform

c
a check with a qualified electrician.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cables immediately.

.i
6.5 Use of PPE
Even if the Floor Drilling Machine (Art. T071) is equipped with safety devices, there are
dangers of injury related to execution of the work.

v
It is therefore imperative that the operator wear the following personal protective equipment
before starting work:

r
 wear goggles or face shield to prevent splinters or other parts from damaging your eyes or
face;
 wear gloves to protect your hands from burrs on the piece;

e
 wear safety shoes to protect your feet from falling objects;
 use suitable clothing at work, close-fitting and free of dangling parts.

f
Use of PPE
ALWAYS use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as (see Figure 21):
 Gloves,
 Goggles or face shields;
 Overalls or aprons;
 Safety shoes.

8. Move the selector (ref. 5 Figure 6) to the “TAPPING” position, then press the start button

o
for clockwise spindle rotation (ref. 2 Figure 6).
9. Gradually lower the spindle until it comes into the contact with the workpiece, and then
continue to advance executing the threading, once the travel limit has reached the

c
rotation inversion micro switch, the tip will stop and reverse rotation.
10. Once rotation has been reversed make sure the tool is exiting the workpiece properly,

.i
without applying any force on the feed handwheel, when the threading has just been
made, make sure the tool exits the workpiece.

Tapping

v
During tapping operations:
 Do not perform the work at a high speed;

r
 Do not exert too much pressure on the spindle lowering handwheel during the
execution of the tapping;
 Do not force the tool when exiting the workpiece;

e
Lubrication

f
During tapping operations the tool and the workpiece should be kept constantly lubricated
with oil, in order to avoid excessive overheating of the parts, with the consequent loss of
precision and cleanliness of the threading.

The reversal in the direction of spindle rotation can be performed manually by the
operator, by stopping the machine at the end of threading via the button (ref.4
Figure 6) and by starting anti-clockwise rotation via the button (ref.3 Figure 6).
