4 Preparations for operation
4.1 Transporting the thread- machine
Bend at the knees when lifting the machine so as to protect your back against
over-stressing.
Fix the tool carriage so that it cannot move while the machine is being transported.
Hold the machine securely by its base to lift it. Do not hold the machine by its
centring chuck or the internal deburrer when carrying it!
If the machine is transported with the thread- oil still inside, the oil might splash
out onto clothing due to vibrations!
Thread- oil on the surface of the machine makes it slippery. Ensure that it does
not slip out of your hands when you lift it!
