Make sure that the collet is not holding any tools. Run the milling head 150 mm to the  
right of the 0 position. The milling head is now positioned in the middle, above the front  
edge of the table. 

• 

Remove the extractor hose, and the plug for the head lighting.  
Now remove the plastic foot.  
Press it together and pull the foot out of the working depth limiter. 

 

 

 

• 

Loosen the fastening screws and the aluminum brackets. Remove the brackets.

• 

The working depth limiter can now be moved downwards and removed for cleaning. Do this by screwing 
off the adjustment wheel for the milling depth, and cleaning all of the parts with a brush or a lint-free cloth. 

• 

Smear a small amount of gray graphite grease onto the thread of the adjustment wheel, and screw it half 
way back onto the working depth limiter. 

• 

If the collet also needs cleaning, do this before reinstalling the working depth limiter. If the collet does not 
need cleaning, fix the working depth limiter back into place on the milling head by using the two aluminum 
brackets.
