Themachineisdesignedforturninganddrillingmachinablemetalandplasticmaterialsonly.
Theworkpiecemustallowtosafelybeloaded,supportedandclamped.
Themachineisintendedforindooruse.TheprotectionratingoftheelectricalinstallationisIP54.
Toavoidtipping,themachinemustbebolteddownwithfouranchorbolts.
Ifusedforotherpurposes,PROMACdisclaimsanyrealorimpliedwarrantyandholdsitselfharmlessfromanyinjurythatmayresult

ATTENTION:
Generallyspeaking,thesmallerthecutdiameter,thegreater

Metalisusuallymachinedwithcoolantorcuttingoilapplied.
Recommended speeds for cutting 10mm diameter, with HSS

Threading is performed in multiple passes with a threading
tool.
Eachdepthofcutshouldbeabout0,2mmandbecomelessfor

Selectthelowestpossiblespindlespeed.
Engagethehalvenut(CC,Fig10‐9).
NOTE:Thehalvenutmuststayengagedduringtheentire
threadingprocess.
‐Setthetoolupforthethreadingpass.
‐Startthemotor.
‐Whenthetoolapproachestheendofcut,stopthemotorand
atthesametimebackthetoolout,sothatitclearsthethread
diameter.
‐Startthemotorinreversedirection,letthecuttingtooltravel
