29) Always connect this machine to an adequate vacuuming
plant, fitted with a dust filter.
30) Do not put your fingers into the sawdust opening or near
any moving part.
31) Check that the surface to be milled is free of nails or
pieces of metal.
ELECTRICAL SAfETY STANDARDS
1) The power supply voltage must match that indicated on
the technical data label. Do not exploit any other type
of power supply.
2) It is necessary to install a trip switch along the electrical
power supply line. Consult a competent electrician.
3) Do not pass over the power supply cable, you could cut
it. Make sure that you know where the power supply
cable is at all times.
4) Do not use the machine in damp or wet areas or in the
rain.
5) The power supply cable must be checked on a regular
basis and before each use of the tool to check if it is
damaged or worn. If it is seen to be in poor condition
do not use the machine but have the cable repaired by
an authorised service centre.
6) If you are using a cable-reel for the extension cable, run
the whole cable out completely otherwise it could heat
up and catch fire.
7) If you are using an extension cable make sure that it is
of a certified type. Keep it away from the work area,
from damp, wet, greasy and sharp surfaces and also
from sources of heat and combustibles
8) The socket of the extension cable must be a certified
10-16A/250V two-pole type. The cross section of the
wire must be equal to or greater than 1 mm². Use a
matched cable no lighter than the H05VV-F type
9) Always pull on the plug to disconnect from the mains
power socket.
10) Do not lift or drag the machine by the power cable.
This machine is manufactured with a double insulation
system. Double insulation offers additional electrical safety
and means that there is no need to earth the machine.
STARTINg UP
ATTENTION! When fitting or replacing accessories,
always remove the plug from the power supply socket.
before using this machine check the completeness of
the machine and all its accessories.
Protective gloves must always be worn when carrying
out the following operations.
fITTINg THE MILLINg CUTTER (fig. C)
Slacken the screw (1) and remove the support (3) from the
casing of the machine (2). Using the 10 mm spanner (4)
hold the motor shaft steady and use the 17 mm spanner (5)
to slacken the nut (6). Insert the milling cutter in the chuck,
tighten the nut well using the spanner. Refit the support (3)
onto the machine casing (2) and tighten using the screw (1).
STARTINg
Check that the switch (Fig. A Pos. 2) is in the OFF position.
Connect the plug on the milling machine to the power supply
socket.
To start: push the switch to ON or I.
To switch off: push the button to OFF or O.
Warning! After the milling machine has been switched
off it continues to turn for a number of seconds. Do not
put it down or touch any moving parts until it has stopped
completely.
When using this machine, never release your grip on the
tool so that, in case of danger, you can stop it immediately.
It is advisable to repeat these operations a number of times
before starting work to familiarise yourself with the controls.
fITTINg AND SETTINg ACCESSORIES
MILLINg SUPPORT bASE (where not assembled) (fig. D)
This element for the base for attaching all other accessories.
Insert the support (4) into the motor casing (Fig. A Pos. 1)
pushing it all the way in, and tighten using the screw (1).
The milling support base may be adjusted in two ways:
1) setting the cutting depth:
With the milling cutter in place, slacken the screw (1) and
align the base (2) with the upper side of the milling cutter.
Read off the measurement shown on the graduated rod (3)
and, starting from this measurement, lower the adjustment
support (4) until the required depth is reached. Tighten
the screw (1) well.
2) setting the cutting angle:
Slacken the wing nuts (5) and using the graduated scale
(6) incline the base (2) to the required angle. Tighten the
wing nuts (5) well without over tightening them.
LATERAL gUIDE (where not assembled) (fig. E)
Fit this accessory (1) under the base, fixing it using the two
bolts and wing nuts (2). This is used to carry out milling
parallel to the axis of the machine, on finished surfaces. It
also has a sawdust remover (3) that can be connected to
a vacuum plant. The lower part has a grip (4) to facilitate
holding the tool while working.
The distance between the milling axis and the support can be
adjusted. Slacken the wing nuts (2) and using the graduated
rule on the base, position the guide at the required distance,
tightening the wing nuts carefully without over tightening
them. Fig. F illustrates the use of this accessory.
PARALLEL MILLINg gUIDE (fig. g)
Remove the lateral guide (Fig. A Pos. 10) if fitted.
