INTRODUCTION
This Instruction Manual for Operation (hereafter called
“the Manual”) provides the operator with useful information
on how to simplify machine use by operating it correctly
and in safe conditions.
The sections below must not be considered as a long
and burdensome list of warnings: they must be regarded
as a number of instructions that improve machine perfor-
mance and prevent damage to persons, objects or animals
originating from incorrect machine operation and use.
It is essential that each operator in charge of transport-
ing, installing, commissioning, operating, maintaining, re-
pairing and dismantling the machine consults this man-
ual and read it carefully before carrying out any operation.
This will help him avoid incorrect manoeuvres and prevent
inconveniences that may jeopardise the machine integrity
and eventually result in risks for operators’ safety.
If you are still in doubt or have points to clear on ma-
chine operation after reading this manual, do not hesitate
to contact the Manufacturer who will be ready to assist you
promptly and carefully for better and most efficient ma-
chine operation. Finally, we would like to point out that
existing regulations on safety, hygiene at work and envi-
ronmental protection must always be adhered to during
all the phases of machine operation. The operator must
therefore check that the machine be operated exclusively
in optimised safety conditions for both persons and ob-
jects. This manual is to be considered as an integral part
of the product. Therefore, along with the Declaration of
Conformity, it must be stored in a safe place where it can
be consulted during the entire machine life and passed on
to the new owner.
This manual was drawn up according to the regulations
existing at the time when it was printed.
The Manufacturer reserves the right to change the
machine without having to promptly update this man-
ual.
In the event of disputes, the valid version is the Ital-
ian text.
Some of the pictures in this manual show details or ac-
cessories which may be different from those fitted in your
machine. Components or guards may have been removed
to make images more useful.
1.1 GENERAL
Conventional symbols: to identify and make different
danger types recognisable, the following symbols are used
in the manual:
WARNING!
DANGER FOR OPERATORS’ HEALTH AND
SAFETY.
WARNING!
RISK OF DAMAGE TO MACHINE OR DRILL
PRODUCT.
In the text, symbols are accompanied by safety warn-
ing messages: these are short sentences to further exem-
plify the type of risk/ danger. Warning texts guarantee the
safety of operators and prevent damage to the machine or
drill product.
The drawings, pictures and diagrams in this manual are
not scaled. They exemplify the information provided in the
text and are an addition to it: they are not meant to illus-
trate the supplied machine in details. For a more compre-
hensive overview of the machine, drawings, pictures and
diagrams represent the machine, or parts of it, without the
protections or guards in most cases.
Finally, a few words on annexes. As they are photo-
copies of catalogues, drawings, etc., they have the origi-
nal ID and page numbers (when provided with it). If they
are not originally provided with a numbering, they are not
given one.
Definitions:
Below is a list of definitions of the main terminology

fore consulting the Manual.
• OPERATOR: The person/s charged with installing,
