– 37 –
mum workpiece heights of 160 mm (6 1/4
in.). Also with this type of tenon, it is impor-
tant to check that the pointer (no. 13 - Fig.
9) points to the value "0" at the indicator
scale (no. 14) at the segment for tilting.
To set the tenon dimensions and for subse-
quent machining, proceed as follows:
1. Set the operating mode selection switch
(no. 7 - Fig. 5) to position "1" and fold
open the lid of the machine housing.
2. Check or set tenon length "t" (see Fig.
17) at the milling tool (see section 4.1,
Tool change).
3. Press the pushbuttons "Z-" and "X-"
(no. 10 - Fig. 5) to move the milling unit
to home position.
4. To ensure that the tenon extends over
the whole height of the workpiece, ad-
just the clamping ring (no. 19 - Fig. 11)
so that the pointer attached to the clam-
ping ring points to the workpiece height
on the scale (no. 20).
5. Press the pushbutton "Z+" to move the
milling unit up until the spiral dowel
sleeve (no. 16 - Fig. 10) no longer be-
ars down on it. To have the tenon start
at the bottom workpiece surface, loosen
the clamping lever (no. 15) and shift the
adjustment disk (no. 17) until the value
“0“ is indicated on the scale (no. 18).
Then, re-tighten the clamping lever (no.
15).
6. By turning the hand wheel (no. 11 - Fig.
8, set the dimension "X1" (see Fig. 17)
at the edge of the housing pursuant to
the scale (no. 12).
7. By turning the hand wheel (no. 21 - Fig.
12), set the horizontal path of the mil-
ling unit in such a way that the position
indicator shows the width of the tenon
"d" + the dimension "X1" (see Fig. 17).
Example: For a desired tenon width of 4
cm and an edge distance of 8 cm, set
the pointer to a dimension of 12 cm.
8. Perform the steps 8 to 10 described in
section 3.4.
3.8 Flattening
Cut the workpiece to the exact angle and
length. During flattening (see Fig. 7), the
path of the milling unit is limited to the hori-
zontal movement required for this type of
machining. This speeds up machining and
saves time.
To set the flattening dimensions and for
subsequent machining, proceed as follows:
1. Check whether the indicator (no. 13 -
Fig. 9) points to the value "0" at the indi-
cator scale (no. 14) at the segment for
tilting. If this is not the case, loosen the
handle lever (no. 15) to correct the posi-
tion of the segment for tilting
accordingly.
2. Set the operating mode selection switch
(no. 7 - Fig. 5) to position "1" and fold
open the lid of the machine housing.
3. Remove the cutting ring (no. 38 - Fig.
18 (see section 4.1).
4. Press the pushbuttons "Z-" and "X-"
(no. 10 - Fig. 5) to move the milling unit
to home position.
5. Press the pushbutton "Z+" to move the
milling unit up until the spiral dowel
sleeve (no. 16 - Fig. 10) no longer be-
ars down on it. Then, loosen the clam-
ping lever (no. 15) and shift the adjust-
ment disk (no. 17) until the desired flat-
tening dimension "Z1" is indicated on
the scale (no. 18) (see Fig. 7). Then, re-
tighten the clamping lever (no. 15).
6. To ensure that the flattening starts at
the edge of the workpiece, check that
the value "0" is indicated at the edge of
