Handling
Safety principle
➢Please read the instruction leaflet and the safety information before start-up of the
assembly machine.
➢We recommend that you use the reference diagrams to make it easier to identify
the parts being described.
The assembly machine complies with current safety standards. Nevertheless, there
will still be certain residual risks if the information contained in this instruction leaflet is
not observed.
Residual risk according to
EN ISO 12100:2010
Intended use
Foreseeable misuse
■The assembly machine is equipped with all the necessary protection features.
■However, there will still be some residual risks for the user, particularly when
removing the protective equipment or when control units fail.
■Other residual risks are identified by warning signs and safety information.
It is therefore necessary to observe the safety information.
The designated purpose of the assembly machine is the drilling and insertion of furni-
ture fittings into work pieces made of wood, particle board or epoxy coated wood.
■The assembly machine may only be operated by fully-trained personnel.
■The assembly machine may only be used in skilled trade and industrial
applications.
■It should only be installed in dry, enclosed rooms.
■The assembly machine is only intended for stationary operation.
■Only original Blum tools may be used.
■No liability can be accepted for any other use.
■Work piece size: vertical board thickness 45 mm
horizontal board thickness 40 mm
■The MZK.224S (11 spindles) drilling head may only be used
with the supplied table extension.
■No metal or aluminium frames may be drilled.
■The MZK.2880 (17 spindles) drilling head may not be used.
■Only use drilling heads with a safety shield.

The operator
■must ensure that only fully-trained personnel, who have read and understood
the instruction leaflet, especially the chapter on safety, operate and service
the assembly machine.
■is responsible for the safety-related condition of the assembly machine.
■will take the assembly machine out of service immediately when faults
are discovered that affect safety.
■CAUTION indicates a danger that could lead to injury if not avoided.
■WARNING indicates a danger that could lead to serious injury if not avoided.
■This NOTE symbol indicates information that should be observed.
CAUTION
NOTE
WARNING
Serious cuts.
Failure to heed this warning may result in personal

Protection equipment ■Do not make any changes or alterations to the assembly machine.
■Protection equipment may not be removed.
■Before starting work, before any shift change or change of personnel, you should
check that the protection equipment and machine parts are functioning properly.
Any damaged parts should be replaced by original parts from Blum.
■Only use drilling heads with leading protection.
■Only use sharp, clean drill bits. Attach drill bits securely.
■Always check that the drill bit is secure before start-up.
■When changing the drill bit, always unclamp the drilling head.
Set main switch [63] to "OFF" pos.
■For your own safety, only use those accessories which are recommended
or indicated in the instruction leaflet or Blum catalogue.
■Only Blum drilling heads may be used.
■Particular care must be taken when working on sections that jut out over
the work table. Use additional supports.
■Secure the work piece during drilling/insertion. Use the assembly machine
clamps or if these are not sufficient for the particular job, use suitable
clamping equipment.
■Make sure that no other tools or objects are on the work table aside from your work
piece before turning on the assembly machine.
■When you release the start button [18], the drill bit will continue to run,
you must wait until it comes to a stop.
■Only operate the assembly machine with the extraction system switched on.
■The negative pressure in the extraction system must be 250–300 mbar.
■Ensure that the average air velocity for the extraction system is at least 20 m/sec.
■Always set the main switch to the "OFF" POS. after finishing work.
■All national regulations regarding labour law, industrial safety as well as all
disposal guidelines must be followed.
■Wear eye protection.
■Wear ear protection.
■Wear appropriate work clothing.
■If there are any questions, please contact the BLUM Customer Service Department.
■Only an electrician may make the connection to the electrical grid.
■Every time before starting work, check the electrical cable and

Setting the board thickness also sets the brake
point (rapid speed/creep speed).
After the drilling process, the drill unit returns to
the starting position.
The creep speed can be set using this revolving knob [33].
After the drilling process, the drill unit does not
move up completely. This is recommended for
continued cycles for line drilling and knocking in
hinges.

Connecting the pressurised air
Connecting the extraction system
➢Connect the air supply [68] to the air filter unit.
➢Open the compressed air shut-off valve [32].
➢The pressure indicated on the pressure gauge [31] should be 6 bar.
➢The pressure can be set using the revolving knob [65].
■During the following procedure, the drill unit makes an upward motion.
■Only oil-free pressurised air may be used.
NOTE
Air consumption per work cycle is 1.5 litres.
➢Insert the extraction hose into the upper extraction socket [42, 43] and secure it.
➢Insert the extraction hose into the lower extraction socket [36] and secure it.
