The motor must be allowed to come to completely stop
before being put to one side between uses.
The milling heads should be protected from impacts
and knocks.
The milling heads should not be touched after use
because they could cause serious burns.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
This machine is designed for use with rotary milling
heads for milling slots, edges, profiles and rough-edged
holes, from a firm base, in wood, synthetic and light
construction materials.
BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
Make sure the mains voltage is correct: it must be the
same as that on the specification label. Machines with
230-V can also be connected to a 220-V mains supply.
Start the machine by turning the switch
A
to position
"ON". To switch off, do the same in reverse.
Constant electronic performance and speed adjustment
The built-in module enables soft start and for the rated
speed to be maintained practically constant until the
rated power is reached.
The electronic speed regulator enables the speed to
be set to different positions from 1 to 6. The most
appropriate speed should be selected according to the
part to be polished.
PRECAUTION:
The speed regulator can only be turned
to position 6 and then be returned to position 1. It must
never be forced beyond 6 or 1, since this could cause
damage to the machine.
MILLING HEAD SELECTION AND INSTALLATION
1.1. Milling head selection
Depending on the materials to be worked, the following
milling head qualities may be selected:
High-performance, fast-cutting steel milling heads
(HSS):
suitable for soft materials, such as soft woods
and plastic.
Milling heads with hard metal blades (HM):
suitable
hard and abrasive materials, such as hard woods and
aluminum.
WARNING!
The milling heads that are employed must
be officially approved in accordance with the maximum
revolutions defined for the respective tools. The milling
head shaft diameter should match the inside diameter of
the tool-holder (locking clip).
1.2. Milling head installation
WARNING!
The mains cable must be removed from the
socket before any adjustments are made to the machine.
It is recommended that protective gloves be worn when
installing or removing milling heads.
-
To install the milling head, press the spindle lock of
shaft
B
until it coincides with the shaft planes.
-
A 17-mm spanner should be used to loosen clip fixing
nut
D
in an anticlockwise direction.
-
Insert the milling head so that the shaft enters the clip
by a minimum of 20 mm (shaft length).
-
Tighten the clip fixing nut
D
with the spanner and
release the clip-carrier shaft support lever
B
.
PRECAUTION:
Do not tighten clip fixing nut
D
without a
milling head inserted into the clip.
ADJUSTING MILLING OPERATION DEPTH
WARNING!
The milling operation depth adjustment
must only be performed with the machine switched off.
The milling operation depth may be adjusted according
to the work to be carried out.
The machine is fitted with a depth stop
E
, the upper
surface of which is used in conjunction with the gradu-
ated scale
M
fine control of the milling operation depth.
For deep cutting operations, it is recommended that
several passes be made, with a reduced chip thickness.
Operate the fixing lever
H
and slowly push the upper
section of the machine against the depth stop
E
. Lock
the machine by releasing the fixing lever
H
.
Loosening the locking wing nut
G
will release the depth
stop
E
, facilitating simple stop adjustment.
Fixing lever
H
should be pressed to immobilize the
machine at a determined working height.
With the stepped stop
F
it is possible to perform the
milling operation in three stages. To start, adjust the
milling depth to the lowest position of stepped stop
F
.
Then the milling operation can be carried out at the
higher positions.
PRECAUTION:
For large diameter cuts, it is recom-
mended that the depth is set to minimum and to con-
tinue cutting in stages.
When commencing the work, the milling head should be
slowly entered until the desired depth is obtained and
then allowed to advance, always supporting the machine
with two hands.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
PRECAUTION:
The machine should always be un-
plugged before making any adjustments to the machine.
WARNING!
The actual milling operation should always be
made in the direction opposite to the milling head rotation
direction. Advancing the machine in the opposite direction
could cause it to rebound and lead to an accident.
1.1. Milling
1. The milling depth should be adjusted in accordance
with the previous description.
2. Switch on and place the machine over the work
piece, firmly held in place.
3. Carry out the milling operation with a uniform ad-
vancing movement.
4. On completing the milling operation, push the upper
section of the machine upwards and switch it off.
1.2. Milling with parallel stop
To install the parallel stop and with the guide rods in the
base plate
P
and held in place with the wing screws
V
according to the required measurement.
Once both wing screws
V
have been loosened, the
parallel stop can be re-adjusted using fine adjustment
T
.
Adjust the desired length with the divisions with inches
and millimeters marked on the side stop
I
.
Stop strip
S
may be used to increase the parallel stop
contact surface.
DUST EXTRACTION
WARNING!
Always make sure that the tool is switched
off and unplugged before fitting or removing any dust
extraction device.
