Noise emission values in accordance with the DIN
EN 60745-1 standard:
Vibrations:
Note:
The measured values listed above depend on the
materials and operating procedures used and may
therefore be exceeded under other operating
conditions.
Using the machine to create bevels with a width
greater than that permitted will result in a
disproportionally large reduction in the machine’s
on-time and the service life of the indexable carbide
inserts. The vibration and noise emission values
will increase accordingly.
To prevent overloading the machine and to avoid
operator fatigue it is very important to observe the
maximum power-on periods especially when
machining wide bevels or high-strength materials.

Power-on time (POT):
To avoid damaging the machine, it is essential to
be monitor how long the machine has been
operating continuously (‘power-on time’).
The compressed air that powers a pneumatic drive
also serves to cool the motor as well. Pneumatic
tools can therefore be operated for longer periods
than electrically powered tools.
However, if the machine is subjected to particularly
extreme loads (e.g. when machining wide bevels or
very hard or tough materials) and/or if the machine is
run for very long periods, the air cooling may still be
insufficient to prevent overheating of the milling drive
unit. If the operator continues to use the machine,
the milling drive unit may overheat and be damaged
as a result.
(C=bevel width, POT=power-on time)
The power-on time is always expressed as a
percentage of one hour.
Example:
If the power-on time is specified as 50 %, then you
can use the machine to mill bevels for a maximum of
30 min. in an hour and must then leave the machine
to cool for 30 min.. If the machine is subjected to
heavy loads, the power-on time might be 20 %,
which means it can be used for 12 min. in any hour
and must be left to cool for 48 min.. Before
completely switching off the machine, we
recommend running the machine for one or two
minutes in idle mode (unloaded) so that fan can
continue to draw cool air through the machine.
Do not overload the machine!
The machine can become overloaded if, for
example, it continues to be used even though the
bevel being cut is too large for the material being
milled, or if the cutting inserts have become blunt
and therefore unable to penetrate the material.
Such conditions can lead to large machine vibrations
or even machine breakdown.
To prevent this sort of damage when milling large
bevels and/or hard materials, never try to machine
the bevel in a single pass, always use multiple
passes, and do not forget to change the carbide
inserts before they become blunt or worn.

Replacing guidind roll / carbide inserts / milling body
Before replacing the machi-
ne must be disconnected
from the compressed air
supply and secured against
reconnection.
Lock the spindle, then loosen the guiding roll
with the hexagonal wrench SW 5 and lift/
remove the guiding roll.
Loosen the clamping screws with the Torx
wrench T15 and replace the carbide inserts.
The inserts must be fastened to the mounting
seat on the milling head bymeans of the origi-
nal locking screws (max. tightening torque: 4.0-
5.0 Nm).
Attention: Wear gloves due to risk
of cutting and burns
Loosen the milling head
retaining screw with the
hexagonal wrench SW 5
and remove the milling
head.
To remove the milling head easier out
of the guiding of the driving shaft you
have to turn the guiding roll a little bit
into the milling head and use the guide
wheel as a handle to lift the milling
head up.
Please note:
At tighten of the holding screw of the
milling head always turn to the stop so
that the locking washer is active in the
milling head.
Setting the bevel length
The bevel length (a) is set by adjusting the position
of the guide plate (2). The height setting can be read
out at the main scale (1) and the vernier collar (4).
Release locking pin (5) and clamping screw (3).
Rotate the guide plate (2) until the required bevel
length has been set as shown by the main scale (1)
in combination with the vernier scale on the collar
(4). Retighten clamping screw (3) and lock locking
pin (5).
Once the bevel height has been set, a bevel should
be milled on a test sample to check whether further
height adjustments are required. These may be
necessary because the precision of the scale is
approximately ± 1 mm, depending on the type of
milling head fitted.
The values below are experical values, no guarantee
values! Some materials can harden on the edges of
the workpiece when working with flame cutting,
plasma and laser cutting.This can result in significant
deviations from the specified reference values.

Notes on radius milling:
Choosing the right guiding roll to ensure the correct
lateral position of the radius is just as important as
setting the correct height of the guiding plate.
If the wrong guiding roll is used, the machined radi-
us will not form a smooth transition with the end
face of the workpiece.
If the guiding roll used is too large, the appearance
of the resulting radius is similar (but rotated by 90°)
to that created when the guiding plate is set too low.
If the guiding roll used is too small, the appearance
of the resulting radius is similar (but rotated by 90°)
to that created when the guiding plate is set too
high.
The same phenomenon arises if the end and upper
faces of the workpiece are not aligned at right
angles to one another.
If the edge of workpiece to be machined was crea-
ted by cutting with a plasma cutter, the upper and
end faces of the workpiece may be out of rectangu-
lar alignment by as much as 7°. This type of misa-
lignment will result in a radius that is either incom-
plete or that cuts too far into the material depending
on whether the upper or lower surface of the work-
piece is being machined.
Although our conically shaped gui-
ding rolls are designed to put up
against the workpiece immediately
below the carbide inserts and can
therefore minimize the problem, they
cannot eradicate it entirely. Machi-
ning a correct radius therefore requires a 90° angle
between the adjacent faces of the workpiece.
correct
too low
too high
Adjusting the radii:
Please note that only the position of the upper
edge of the radius can be adjusted by rotating the
guiding plate. The lateral position of the radius on
the workpiece end face is determined by the guide
wheel fitted and cannot be altered.

(radius incomplete)
Guiding plate set too high
(radius cuts into material)
Guiding plate set correctly
(radius fully formed with smooth transition to work-
piece surfaces)

Operating mode
General:
Two-handed operation:
Whatever the position of the
machine, always use two hands to
control the machine.
When working with the machine, make sure that the
machine is always held with two hands (see red arrows)
and in such a way that both hands are kept away from
the machining point.
Ensure that the workpiece is securely clamped!
• for safety reasons
• to improve the service life of the
carbide inserts
• to prevent damage to the milling
machine
Important!
Before machining a workpiece, make sure that it is
securely clamped so that it cannot slip.
This should be done to ensure safe working so that the
workpiece does not slip or even fly off when being milled
and to prevent unnecessary vibrations in the workpiece
material.
The less vibration generated in the workpiece, the longer
the service life of the carbide inserts.
To became acquainted with the
machine, you must start by
machining a small bevel with a width
of no more than 2 mm and remember
to advance the machine slowly first.
Bevels of maximum width can only
be machined safely and reliably
once you have become used to
handling the machine.
Handling:
Damages caused by wrong power
supply!
• Check values air connection. The air
pressure must correspondend with the
specifications on the type plate of the
machine.
Improper use can cause serious
injury!
• Make sure you always have a firm
footing when working with the
machine!
• Never touch the milling head when the
machine is running!
• Always lead the machine away from
body during working, never use the
machine above head height.
Risk of damage to equipment and
property!
• Working with worn or damaged
carbide inserts or milling heads will
cause the machine to fail!
• Avoid collisions when working with the
machine!
Working with the machine:
Press on-/off-switch (1).
Motor starts. Bring the machine slowly into contact with
the workpiece only after the selected tool speed has been
reached.
Machining the workpiece (up-cut milling)
When milling a bevel always move the machine from left
to right against the direction of rotation of the milling head
(up-cut milling).
Switching off the machine
• remove the machine from the workpiece.
• release the on-/off-switch.
• once the motor is switched off, wait for it to come to a
standstill before placing the machine down on a
surface.

Maintenance
Maintenance
Before servicing the
machine always must be
disconnected from the
compressed air supply and
secured against
reconnection.
Repair must only be carried out by a
GERIMA trained technician!
Improperly repaired machines are
hazzard!
• Increased risk of injury
• Machine does not function correctly!
Hot carbide inserts and milling head!
• Burn hazzard!
• Wear protective gloves when replacing
the carbide inserts!
Maintenance plan:
Blunt tool can cause damage!
• Blunt tool can overload the machine!
• Inspect milling tools regulary for signs of
wear.
• Wear protective gloves when changing
or readjusting the carbide inserts!
Service 1:
Open screw (arrow) and max. Top up with 17ml of
lubricant. The normal consumption is approx. 10 ml /
1,000 operating hours. Approx. 0.25 ml are filled up per
actuation of the grease gun.
Service 2:
A slat replacement should only be certified by one.
GERIMA service or Atlas Copco service are carried out,
otherwise the guarantee claims will be lost.
Service 3:
Unscrew the guide plate, unscrew the guide plate holder,
clean the thread, spray with teflon spray and reinstall.
