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’).
All electric brushed motors generate large amounts of
heat in the rotor and stator. Although the machine is
fitted with a fan cooler that dissipates the heat
produced, if the machine is subjected to extreme
loads (e.g. milling large bevels, very hard or tough
materials) and/or is run continuously for a long period
of time, the cooling system may not be able to cope
with the amount of heat generated. If the operator
continues to use the machine, the rotor (armature)
may overheat to such an extent that the winding
insulation melts causing a short circuit.
(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 if the armature in the motor is bent to
such an extent that the rotor and stator rub against
each other, overloading the windings and blowing the
motor. 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 carbide inserts / guiding roll / milling
head
Before replacing always disconnect
the machine from the power supply
by removing the power cable from
the socket 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 guide wheel a little bit
into the milling head and use the gui-
ding roll 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.

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 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 beveling
machine
Important!
Before you begin machining the work-piece, 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 get to know the machine, it is
necessary to use a small bevel width of
max. 2 mm at low feed rate. Only with
practiced handling, the maximum bevel
sizes are safe to work.

• Check the supply voltage. It must
correspond 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 tool when the
machine is running.
• Always guide the machine away from the body
while working.
Improper use can damage 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
First push on/off-switch (2), then press switch lock
(1) until it clicks into place.
Motor starts
Bring the machine slowly
into contact with the work-
piece only after the tool
speed has been reached.
Machining the workpiece
When milling bevel always move the machine from
left to right against direction of rotation of the milling
head (up-cut milling). When machining bore holes,
always work in a clockwise direction (up-cut milling).
The arrows on the guide plate represent the direction
of rotation of the milling head at the machining point.
Motor turn off
Remove the machine from workpiece and release
the locking switch. Once the motor is switched off,
wait for it to come to a standstill before placing the
machine down on a surface.

Settings (radius)
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.
Guiding plate set too low
(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)
too large
Guiding roll too large
(radius incomplete)
too small
Guiding roll too small
(radius cuts into material)
> 90°
Angle greater than 90°
(radius incomplete)
< 90°
Angle smaller than 90°
(radius cuts into material)
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.
