2. Machine description B15 ELECTRA
Machine B15 ELECTRA is designed solely for the activities below:
B15 ELECTRA is designed solely for bevelling and fetch fettling of metal materials in the
workshop or in the production hall.
This includes manual and manually managed machine. The main feature of the machine
is the ability to machine flat and shaped workpieces, openings, and tubes. The
machining angle can be changed by replacing the milling head. B15 ELECTRA can
perform also the workpiece edge rounding. This application also requires a special tool,
see the text below.
Use the machine in the environment protected from rain, snow, and other adverse
weather conditions.

6. Safety regulations
Attention :
In order to prevent the injury observe the below instructions
Inspect the machine for mechanical and other damage prior to bevelling.
Commission the machine solely if the electricity supply cable is not damaged.
Check the supply cord regularly. In case of damage have it replaced in an authorised
service shop authorised to perform the such repairs. Contact your supplier.
Personal protection from injury
During the work use safety goggles, solid work footwear, hearing protection, suitable
head cover, e.g. safety helmet.
Connect the machine in electrical network solely if the machine is in off position.
Prior to each use, check the device and electricity supply cord for damage. Do not
use the machine in case of any damage.
Do not use the machine in humid environment and protect from high moisture.
Ensure good lighting at the workplace to prevent the risk of potential injury or
eyesight damage.
Caution, the tool (milling machine) is sharp with the risk of injury. During the
replacement use safety gloves, never touch the miller which moves.
The machined material must always be fastened and horizontal. Optimum
workpiece height is 900 mm above ground.
During work pay attention to the electricity supply cable; it should be loosely placed on
the ground outside the worked material and other sharp objects.
After work, disconnect equipment from the electricity supply.
Do not overload the machine motor. The machine operates better if not overloaded.
During work, hold the device by both hands.
Attention is drawn to the injury hazard with hot metal shavings.
Important:
In case of damage have the machine repaired in an authorised service shop authorised
to perform the repairs. For more information on, contact your supplier.

11. Use
Important:
The device can be used solely if it is fitted with the original indexable inserts supplied by
our supplier, i.e. the device manufacturer. It includes four-sided indexable inserts. The
device can be fitted with 6 pieces of indexable inserts. It is prohibited to use other than
original inserts.
11.1 Setting the removal size
Attention :
During the adjustment operation, wear gloves and other personal protective
equipment. The operations must be carried out on the machine at rest and after
disconnecting from the power supply.
Disconnect the machine from electricity supply.
Release the setting arresting screws (fig.10.0.1 position F)
Turn the guiding plate (fig.10.0.1 position G) for setting the reduction size. You can
read the setting on the scale (fig.10.0.1 position C). Stupnice je pouze orientační a
výsledný úběr může být jiný při použití různých úhlů frézovacích hlav.
After setting, fasten both screws (fig.10.0.1 position F).
Important:
Maximum reduction is 15mm of bevel width (dimension P fig.11.1.1). The reduction can be
achieved in more steps. It depends on the material solidity. We recommend performing the
test.
Start with lower reduction and gradually increase the value until the work with the machine is
comfortable and the plates can achieve gradually reduction without increased vibrations. For
orientation setting, use the tables below.
We recommend administering the work log for recording the measured value and the
machining procedure.

10
Fig. 11.1.1
For orientation setting of the reduction size and the independent machining process, use
the setting tables for individual bevel angles.
Important:
The values in the table are calculated from point 0. Point is the point when the
miller touches the material edge for the first time. This point can be set by
gradual turning of the thrust plate (fig.10.0.1 position G) and placing to the
material edge.

Important:
The machine was constructed for the preparation of welded surfaces. Machining
accuracy is within limit
+/-1mm. The condition for reaching the satisfactory results is a perfect
preparation of the material edges. Unfortunately the material is often burned or
cut. The inaccuracy shall be reflected on the resulting machining.
Important:
If it is difficult to machine the bevel within the recommended number of steps,
we recommend dividing the process to more chips. The reason can be the wear of
the cutting inserts or worse machining properties of material.
11.2 Bevelling
Connect the device in electricity distribution
After careful setting of the first reduction, see clause 11.1, hold the device with
both hands and use the main switch to switch on the device.
Fit the machine on material in such way the thrust/contact plate (fig. 10.0.1 position
G) was in contact with material at maximum possible surface.
Slowly move the machine to the material until you feel the milling machine is in
reduction. CAUTION!!! The rebound is possible at this moment, be careful.
Press the machine in the direction into the material until the miller is embedded in
the material in the full profile of the set chip. Contact roller (fig. 10.0.1 position E)
must now touch the workpiece edge. The thrust plate (fig. 10.0.1 position G) must be
placed with the surface on material.
Now, you can start the machining from the left to the right. Shift the machine
constantly; using only such speed the milling machine was able to remove material
in the set chip profile. Otherwise, the milling machine will be pushed out from the
material and the bevel will be unequal.
Attention :
During work, wear gloves and other personal protective equipment.
The maintenance operations must be carried out on the machine at rest and after
disconnecting from the power supply.
Important:
The shift during machining is always from left to the right.

12
Attention :
The device operators must hold the device with both hands.
11.3 Bevel angle and shape change. Milling head replacement
Machine B15 ELECTRA is constructed for the use of more milling heads, see chapter
8. Accessories.
For the head replacement, proceed as follows.
Disconnect the machine from electricity supply.
Release the setting arresting screws (fig.11.3.1 position A) by the enclosed allen key
(fig. 11.3.1 position C)
Turn the guiding plate (fig.11.3.1 position B) for complete disassembly from the
machine
Secure the spindle against turning with the button, which is located on the top side of
the gearbox (fig 11.3.2 position A)
Use the allen key (fig.11.3.2 position D), release and disassemble the roller screw
(fig. 11.3.2 position C) and roller (fig.11.3.2 position B)
Now disassemble the milling head (fig.11.3.3 position F) by enclosed hook spanner
(fig.11.3.3 position E)
Use the same process to assemble new head and reassemble the machine.
All connections must be appropriately fastened.

Attention :
During the adjustment operation, wear gloves and other personal protective
equipment. The operations must be carried out on the machine at rest and
after disconnecting from the power supply.
11.4 Replacement of indexable
inserts
Important:
Work solely with sharp and not damaged indexable inserts. It prevents the
machine damage. If the cutting inserts are worn or damaged or cracked,
they must be replaced.
Attach the wrench (fig. 11.3.1 position D) release the screws used for fastening
the indexable inserts (fig. 11.3.1 position C)
Indexable inserts (fig. 11.3.1 position B) replace with new, different, or just turn
them to use all cutting edges.. Attention! Considering the specific shape, focus on
this operation.
Indexable inserts must be appropriately fastened (fig. 11.3.1 position C).
Assemble the guiding plate set according to chapter 11.3
Fig. 11.4.1

12. Maintenance and operation
Maintenance of machine B15 ELECTRA does not require any special tools and it is
very simple. Keep the machine clean and replace the lubrication grease in the
machine gearbox every 1000 working hours. This operation must be performed solely
in authorised service N.KO Machines.
Regularly check the supply power cable. In case of damage have it replaced in an
authorised service shop authorised to perform the such repairs. Contact your supplier.
Important:
The moving parts, threads, and mechanical connections must be gradually
cleaned using compressed, and must be preserved (greased).
Attention :
When using compressed air for cleaning, wear safety goggles and never use a
pressure exceeding 2 bar.
