2. SAFETY INFORMATION 2-001 Safety Information - It is the responsibility of the machine owner or his/her agent to ensure that machine operators are properly trained to operate the machine. - Any work on the electrical equipment may only be performed by licensed electricians or electrical engineers. - The pneumatic and electrical connection lines must be properly laid and protected against damage (e.g. in cable ducts or similar). - The safety devices provided must always be used in accordance with section 2-004, and must not be bypassed or rendered inoperable. - During service or maintenance work, the machine used must always be disconnected from the power supply (pull out the plug) and from the compressed air supply (e.g. by means of a quick coupling). - Before changing a tool or gearbox, or before working in the area of the drill, always set the main switch on the switchgear cabinet to “0” (i.e. OFF). - Only use suitably strong and sturdy tools which meet the appropriate specifications and regulations (e.g. those available from Grass GmbH). - Only use tungsten carbide or high speed steel drill bits with a total length of 57mm and a shank diameter of 10 mm. - The drill bit diameter should only have a maximum of 35mm on the drive spindle and a maximum of 16 mm on all other spindles. - Before operating the machine, check that all safety devices are intact and fully functional. Damaged parts should be replaced with authorised parts only. - Exercise particular caution in the case of large workpieces which project beyond the machine. It is advisable to fit a larger support or to use additional supports for such workpieces. - Shavings should not be blown off the machine but should be vacuumed using the appropriate device. - Always turn the machine off at the main switch when you have finished working and secure it so that unauthorised persons cannot restart it. - Keep the workplace and the surrounding area clean and tidy because messy, disorganized workplaces increase the risk of injury. - Protect yourself against electric shocks. - Only operate the machine in dry areas. Never leave the machine outside, especially in the rain. - Keep unauthorised persons away from the machine. - Only one person at a time may operate the machine. - When working, keep your hands away from the operating zone of the drill and the insertion die arm. - Always wear appropriate work clothing when operating the machine. - Wear a hair net if you have long hair and do not wear wide, baggy clothing which might become caught in moving parts.
2-002 Intended Use - The Grass Flexipress is intended exclusively for drilling solid wood, wood-derived materials and for the purposes described in section 7-4. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damages arising from failure to adhere to the intended use of the machine.

2. SAFETY INFORMATION 2-003 Risks pursuant to EN 292-2 The design and construction of the Flexipress drilling and insertion machine is based on state-of-the-art technology and recognized safety standards. Its use may nevertheless give rise to risks to life and limb of the user or of third parties, as well as to the equipment or other property. Residual risks exist: - if the start button is actuated, caution: the machine can still move, even if the main switch is turned off; - if the machine is operated by unqualified personnel; - if the machine is operated without the required safety guarding; - if incorrect tooling is used or if tools are incorrectly fitted or secured; - if the operator positions his second hand incorrectly when moving machine parts are performing drilling or insertion operations; - if other person(s) is/are present in the vicinity of the machine when it is in operation; - if a person contacts a machine which has not been turned off and secured in the proper manner; - if the procedures described in section 7-0 “Operating the Flexipress” are not followed; - if control elements fail. These residual risks can be reduced by adhering to the instructions contained in sections 2-0 and 7-0.
2-004 Safety Devices Safety devices, warning notices, etc. are provided for the safety of the operators and may not, under any circumstances, be removed, damaged or rendered inoperable. - The main switch which can be locked off to prevent unauthorised start-ups and to switch off the machine during setting up and adjustment operations. - The pneumatic filter/pressure reducer prevents the machine from overloading (see pneumatic diagram, section 4-006) - Thermal overload protection on the electric motor (see electrical wiring diagram, section 4-007). - A pneumatically monitored check valve directly mounted on the main cylinder prevents the machine from descending in the event of a drop in air pressure. The valve is not opened until the start button is activated (see pneumatic diagram, section 4-006) - The motors do not run until the appropriate start button is actuated. Once the start button is released, i.e. once the pneumatic drilling depth stop is activated on the vertical drilling head, the motors switch off after a time delay. This time delay can be set on the switchgear cabinet. - The motor does not run during the insertion process. - The integrated dust collection system protects operating personnel against fine dust and also acts as a guard to prevent contact with the drill bits.
2-005 Description of Stickers WARNING: The drill unit may descend even if the motor is turned off.
Warning to indicate that the drilling head can still descend even if the motor is switched off.
Proof of EC (European Community) conformity
Warning to indicate that only one person may operate the machine at a time. Warning to indicate risk of crushing. Hands and other objects must be kept clear. Indicates that the operating manual or appropriate information should be read thoroughly.

4. DESCRIPTION OF MACHINE COMPONENTS 4-004 Description of Operator Controls Fig. 4-004-01 Flexipress Fig. 4-004-01 1 Start button for the vertical movement As long as the start button is kept pressed, the drilling head will move downwards until it comes to rest on the drilling depth stop and/or the pneumatic cylinder has executed the complete stroke. 2 Selector switch to clamp workpiece for horizontal drilling Left position = workpiece released Right position = workpiece clamped 3 Start button for the horizontal movement As long as the start button is kept pressed, the drilling head will move forwards until it comes to rest on the drilling depth stop ans/or until the pneumatic cylinder has executed the complete stroke. 4 Main switch, located on the switchgear cabinet Warning: This switch only deactivates the electric motors - not the pneumatic control 5 Insertion die arm which holds the insertion dies 6 Knurled screw for adjusting drilling depth for the vertical drilling head 7 Locking pin for pivot movement of vertical drilling head 8 Hand wheel for adjusting setup distance for vertical drilling head 9 Height adjustment of the horizontal drilling head
4-005 Machine Functions Vertical drilling head: Pressing the start button “1”, Fig. 4-004-01, activates the pneumatic cylinder and moves the drilling head downwards. The air is released from the cylinder by means of the non-return throttle valve 11, Fig. 4-006-0X, and the actuated pneumatic roller valve 12, Fig. 4-006-0X, or the non-return throttle valve 13 Fig., 4-006-0X. The downward movement continues as long as the start button is kept pressed. This movement ends when the depth set on Item “6”, Fig. 4-004-01, is reached. If the start button is released, the vertical drilling head will move upwards. Horizontal drilling head: Before horizontal drilling can be performed, the workpiece must be clamped with the insertion die arm swung downwards. For this purpose selector switch “2”, Fig. 4-004-01, must be turned to the right. Pressing start button “3”, Fig. 4-004-01, for horizontal drilling will cause the horizontal drilling head to move forwards until the drilling depth set with drilling depth stop “12”, Fig. 4-004-01, is reached. Releasing the start button will make the horizontal drilling head move back again.

Lift the setting knob on the maintenance unit and turn counterclockwise. b.) Connect the compressed air with a quick coupling or shut-off valve with exhaust. The connection must allow a machine operator to disconnect the machine from the compressed air system at any time within a max. distance of 2m. c.) Turn the regulator clockwise until the pressure gauge on the maintenance unit indicates approx. 5.5 - 6 bar (0.55-0.6 MPa ). Press the setting knob back down again. d.) Perform a function test with the main switch turned off and without quick-change chucks. When the start button is activated, the motor support must move downwards. As soon as the button is released the machine must immediately go back to the starting position.
6-002 Electrical Connection The machine is supplied with a 3-metre long 5-pole connecting cable. Depending on the country of destination, this is fitted with a plug connector (CEE 5 x 16 A). See section 4-007 on pages 36-37 for wiring diagrams Warning: The electrical connection of this machine may only be performed by suitably qualified and authorised specialists in compliance with the codes and regulations applicable in the country concerned. For the purposes of any maintenance work to be carried out on the electrical system of the Flexipress, it must be possible to disconnect the machine from the electrical power supply by pulling out the plug or by means of a switch which can be locked out. After completing the start-up in accordance with section 6-001 and the hook-up to the electrical power supply, turn on the main switch, swing the insertion die arm all the way up, and, without a drill bit fitted, press the start button for vertical drilling “2”, Fig. 4-004-01, until the motor starts. Release the start button to return the machine to the starting position. While the motor is shutting down, check the direction of rotation through the ventilation grill. The direction of rotation must correspond with the arrow marked on the motor cover. The direction of rotation may only be changed by a suitably qualified and authorised specialist.
6-003 Other Connections Dust removal connection 100mm dia. Required suction power approx. 2000 m3/h Please refer to section 3-001 for noise and dust emission values NB: In some countries (e.g. EU states) the Flexipress may not be operated without the dust removal system.

7. OPERATING THE FLEXIPRESS 7-301 Setting the Vertical Drilling Depth (Material Thickness) Fig. 7-301-01 Tools required: None With the Flexipress it is the thickness of the workpiece to be drilled and not the actual drilling depth which has to be set. The indicator is set to give a drilling depth of 13 mm when drill bits with a length of 57 mm are used. To calculate the setting:
+Drill bit length - Machine constant + Material thickness - Required drilling depth = Setting
e.g. 57 44 e.g. 35 e.g. 16 32
mm mm mm mm mm
- Loosen star knob “1” by hand. - Turning knurled screw “2” clockwise reduces the drilling depth by 1 mm per turn. - Tighten star knob “1”.
7-302 Setting the Vertical Drilling Setup Distance Figs 7-302-01/02 Tools required: None - Open and pull out lever “1”. - Turning hand wheel “2” clockwise decreases the vertical drilling setup distance. 1 turn corresponds to 2 mm. The spacing from one bore hole to the next in the index plate corresponds to a difference in vertical drilling setup distance of approx. 0.066 mm. Read off the setup distance on digital indicator “3”. When adjusting the setup distance, always adjust from a larger to a smaller value - to compensate any play in the threaded spindle. Adjustment from 15 mm to 17 mm is performed in 2 steps: a) from 15 to 20 and b) from 20 to 17 - Engage lever “1” into one of the bore holes in the index plate and fold down.

7. OPERATING THE FLEXIPRESS 7-303 Setting the Vertical Drilling Speed Fig. 7-303-01 Tools required: None The Flexipress operates with a continuously adjustable feed speed and a continuously adjustable operating speed. When the vertical drilling head moves downwards, air from the pneumatic cylinder is released by means of the throttle “1” and escapes unimpeded via the activated roller valve (item 12 on the pneumatic diagram). The feed speed is set on this throttle “1”. Turning it clockwise decreases the feed speed. The pneumatic valve (Item12 on the pneumatic diagram) is deactivated approx. 80 mm above the bottom end position of the vertical drilling head. Air must now also be released via the throttle “2”. The operating speed is set with this throttle. Turning it clockwise reduces the operating speed. The following general rule applies for the operating speed: The harder a workpiece, the slower the operating speed should be; the less the tool cuts, the slower the operating speed should be. The air released by the vertical cylinder is collected and expelled via the exhaust arbour in the gearbox (item 24 on the pneumatic diagram) to blow out shavings and chips towards the collection duct. The upward movement of the vertical drilling head is always performed at full speed. Fig. 7-303-01 1 Throttle for setting the feed speed - item 11 on the pneumatic diagram 2 Throttle for setting the operating speed - item 13 on the pneumatic diagram

7. OPERATING THE FLEXIPRESS 7-501 Setting the Side Stops Fig. 7-501-01 Tools required: 5 mm Allen key Loosen the screw “1” with 5 mm Allen key “2“ by turning it counterclockwise. Slide the stop “3” to the required dimension. The read-off edge “3” is the edge of the side stop. Tighten screw “1” by turning it clockwise. To prevent errors between the left and right, we recommend using a stop adjustment gauge for the second side. The stop adjustment gauge and the zero point retainer “4” are included in the basic equipment.
7-502 Using the Stop Adjustment Gauge Figs 7-502-01/02/03/04 Tools required: 5 mm Allen key - After setting the side stops “A” and “B” for right side, set the left side (e.g. when mounting hinges on left and righthand doors) - Insert pin “1” of side stop adjustment gauge “8” into bore hole “2” of zero point gauge “3” - Loosen flap screw “4”, slide adjustment ring “5” against stop catch “6” of side stop “A”. Tighten flap screw “4” in the figure. Important: Flap screw “4” must point upwards. If necessary, use more adjustment rings “5”. - Press down all stop catches “6” - Swing side stop adjustment gauge “8” through 180º to the left side, Fig. 7-502-03. - Loosen a stop “C” on the lefthand side. Slide stop stop “C” against the adjustment ring “5” until stop catch “6” lines up with the adjustment ring. Tighten side stop “C”. - If necessary, use more stops.
For hole patterns which are used repeatedly, we recommend having a side stop adjustment gauge for each hole pattern and replacing the flap screws with set screws. This will then allow you to reproduce the required side stop settings exactly on both sides by means of the side stop adjustment gauge.

7. OPERATING THE FLEXIPRESS 7-503 Using the Index Gauge When Drilling Lines of Holes Figs 7-503-01/02 Tools required: 5 mm Allen key Index gauge The index gauge is used to set the distances between the side stops in multiples of 32 mm for line drilling operations. - Set the first side stop “A” to the required dimension (64 mm on the right side of the workpiece, 480 mm on the left side of the workpiece + the required start of the hole line pattern from the edge of the stop) - Place index gauge “C” with edge “C1” at the first side stop “A”, edge “A1” - Select the recess in the index gauge to suit the number of drill bits to be used for the line - Loosen the next side stop “B” and slide the side stop (edge “B1”) against edge “C2” of the index gauge. - If more stops are needed, place the index gauge on stop “B” and set another stop in the same way. In order to avoid adjustment errors and maintain accuracy between the left and right, we recommend setting the stops on the second side with a side stop adjustment gauge. Use of the side stop adjustment gauge is described in section 7-502.
7-504 Setting/Mounting the Pendulum Stop (Accessory) Fig. 7-504-01 Tools required: 8 mm fork wrench Test piece 1 drill bit, 57 mm long To mount the pendulum stop: Remove all the stop pins “4” in the centre of the machine table. Place pendulum stop “5” against the fences “7” and insert the two pins “6” into the bore holes of the pendulum stop and the fences. To set the pendulum stop: Loosen lock nut “1” with 8 mm fork wrench. Adjust set screw “2” in the required direction with the 8 mm fork wrench. Drill a test hole as described under section 7-605, check the dimension. If necessary, repeat the setting operation and test drill again until the correct dimension is obtained. Do the same for the second side of the pendulum stop. If different dimensions are required, e.g. for back panels for Systems 6000 and 7000, 2 pendulum stops can be used. Once the setting operation has been successfully completed, make sure that the top side of pendulum “3” is always facing upwards, otherwise you may get variances when drilling. To remove the pendulum stop: Remove both stop pins “6”, remove pendulum stop and re-insert the standard pins “4”.

If the distance is more than 6 mm, a thicker hold-down plate must be used. - Clamp the workpiece with the hold-down plate. The selector switch for clamping the workpiece is shown as “3” on Fig. 4-004-01 - Remove the pneumatic hose from the rear connection on the pneumatic cylinder and check whether air comes out at the pneumatic hose when the horizontal drilling head start button is pressed. The cover on the back must be removed to do this. Warning: Keep hands away from moving parts. If air is released, there is a problem with the pneumatic cylinder If no air is released, there is a problem in the control system. If the above tips do not help, please call in a pneumatics specialist (pneumatic diagram section 4-006).

If the lefthand spindle is higher than the centre spindle: - loosen lower adjusting screw “3” (clockwise) - readjust upper adjusting screw “3” (clockwise) until both spindles are level. - Tighten the 4 gearbox fastening screws “1” on Fig. 8-205-01 with 6 mm Allen key - Reset the lower adjusting screw “3”. - Tighten both lock nuts “2”. - Turn the main switch back on. - Test drill (see section 7-701). - Check the result and repeat the adjustment if necessary.
8-206 Horizontal Drilling head does not Align with the Vertical Drilling head Fig. 8-206-01 Drill one vertical dowel hole as described in section 7-609 and one horizontal dowel hole as described in section 7-701 on the same side stop, and then fasten both parts with a wooden dowel. If there is a projection or excess on the stop side of the workpieces, the horizontal drilling head needs to be adjusted to one side as follows: Assumption: Horizontal drilling head is too far to the left Tools required: 3, 5, 6 mm Allen keys 8-10 mm fork wrench - Turn off the main switch - Remove all quick-change chucks from the horizontal gearbox - Set the setup distance for the vertical drilling head with the hand wheel at the front underneath the machine table to approx. 10 mm - Pull the horizontal drilling head completely to the front by hand - Remove cover “2” on Fig. 7-401-01 on both sides using 3 mm Allen key - Loosen the 4 Allen screws “1” (2 on each side) with 6 mm Allen key by turning approx. 3/4-1 turn counterclockwise - Loosen the both lock nuts “2” with 10 mm fork wrench - Loosen Allen screw “3” by approx. 3-5 mm counterclockwise using the 5 mm Allen key - Readjust Allen screw “4” clockwise by the required amount using the 5 mm Allen key - 1 turn corresponds to an adjustment of about 1 mm - Adjust Allen screw “3” up to stop “xx” - Tighten the two lock nuts “2” with 10 mm fork wrench - Tighten the 4 Allen screws with the 6 mm Allen key. - Slide the horizontal drilling head back to the stop by hand. - Drill one vertical dowel hole as described in section 7-609 and one horizontal dowel hole as described in section 7-701 on the same side stop, and then fasten both parts with a wooden dowel. Check the results. If necessary, repeat the complete adjustment procedure. It is important to adhere to the instructions given sections 7-609 and 7-701 when performing drilling operations. - Fit cover “5” on both sides with the 3 mm Allen key. After completing the adjustment, please make sure that the gearbox is parallel to the machine table (section 8-205) and check the digital position indicator on the horizontal drilling head (section 8-201).
