Technical manual
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.

K = 1,5 m/s²
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.

Setting the bevel length:
The bevel length (a) is setting by adjusting the position
of guiding plate (1). The height setting can be read out at
the main scale (2) and the vernier collar (3). Loosen the
clamping lever (4) and rotate the guiding plate (1) until
the required bevel length has been set as shown by the
main scale (2) in combination with the verniere scale on
the collar (3). Retighten the clamping lever (4).
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 approx. ± 1 mm.
The values above are experical values, no guarantee
values!
Some materials can harden on the edges of the
workpiece when working with flame cutting, plasma,

Adjusting radius:
The procedure for setting the radius and bevel is identi-
cally. For the radii> R2, R3, R4 and R6 are the appropri-
ate columns on the scale (2).
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 guiding roll fitted and cannot
be altered.
Guiding plate set too low (radius incomplete).
Guiding plate set to high (radius cuts into material).
Guiding plate set correctly (radius fully formed with
smooth transition to workpiece 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 the supply voltage. The supply
voltage 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) until it clicks into place!
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.
• press 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 serving the machine always
disconnect the machine from the power
supply by removing the power cable
from the socket !
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:
To ensure that the machine can be cooled properly, the
ventilation slots must be kept clean. To avoid damaging
the motor winding it is important that no foreign matter
(e.g. chips) enter the motor compartment. Clean the
motor compartment regularly by blowing compressed air
through it.
Service 2:
Remove the screw for height clamping, lift the guiding
plate unit, clean the mounting thread, lubricate the thread
with teflon spray and then re-assemble in reverse order.
