THE FUTURE !
Safety warnings common for grinding, sanding,
wirebrushing, polishing, carvingor abrasive cut-
ting-offoperations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher, carvingor
cut-offtool.Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specificationsprovided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instruc-
tions listed below mayresultinelectricshock, fire
and/orserious injury.
c) Do notuseaccessorieswhich are not specifi-
callydesignedandrecommended by thetool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory canbe
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
d) The rated speedofthegrinding accessories
mustbeatleast equal to the maximum speed
markedonthepower tool. Grinding accessories
running faster than theirrated speedcanbreak and
fly apart.
e) The outsidediameter andthethickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity ratingof
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessoriescan-
notbeadequately controlled.
f) The arbour size of wheels, sandingdrums or any
other accessorymustproperly fit thespindle or
colletofthepower tool. Accessories thatdonot
match the mounting hardware of the power toolwill
run outofbalance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
g) Mandrel mountedwheels, sandingdrums, cut-
tersorother accessories must be fully inserted
into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insuffi-
ciently held and/or the overhangofthewheelistoo
long, the mountedwheel may become loose andbe
ejected at highvelocity.
h) Do not useadamaged accessory. Before each
use inspecttheaccessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum for
cracks, tearorexcess wear, wirebrushforloose
or cracked wires.Ifpower tooloraccessory is

dropped, inspect for damage or install an un-
damaged accessory. After inspecting andin-
stalling an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and runthe power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute. Damaged acces-
sorieswill normallybreak apart during this test time.
i) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. As appropriate, weardust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stoppingsmallabrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eyeprotection must be capable of
stopping flying debris generated by various opera-
tions. The dust mask or respirator mustbecapable
of filtrating particles generatedbyyour operation.
Prolonged exposuretohigh intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
j) Keepbystandersasafe distance away from
work area.Anyone enteringthework areamust
wearpersonal protective equipment. Fragments
of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away
and cause injury beyond immediate areaofopera-
tion.
k) Hold power toolbyinsulated grippingsurfaces
only,whenperforming an operation where the
cutting accessory may contacthiddenwiring or
its own cord. Cutting accessorycontactinga“live”
wire may makeexposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operatoranelectric
shock.
l) Always holdthetool firmlyinyour hand(s)
duringthestart-up. The reaction torque of the
motor, as it acceleratestofullspeed,cancause the
tooltotwist.
m) Use clamps to supportworkpiece whenever
practical. Never holdasmallworkpiece in one
hand andthetoolintheother handwhileinuse.
Clampingasmall workpiece allowsyoutouseyour
hand(s)tocontrol the tool.Round materialsuchas
dowel rods, pipesortubing have a tendencytoroll
while beingcut, and maycause the bittobindor
jump toward you.
n) osition the cord clearofthespinning acces-
sory. If you lose control, thecordmaybe cutor
snagged andyour handorarmmaybepulled into
thespinning accessory.
o) Never laythepower tooldownuntil the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab thesurface and pull the power
tool outofyour control.
p) Afterchanging the bits or makinganyadjust-
ments, makesurethecollet nut, chuck or any
other adjustmentdevices are securely tight-
ened. oose adjustment devices can unexpectedly
shift,causing lossofcontrol, looserotating compo-
nents willbeviolently thrown.
q) Do not runthepower toolwhile carryingitat
your side. Accidentalcontactwith the spinning ac-
cessorycould snagyourclothing, pulling the acces-
sory intoyour body.
r) Regularly cleanthepower tool’s air vents. The
motor’s fanwilldrawthe dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulationofpowdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
s) Do notoperate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
t) Do notuseaccessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
resultinelectrocutionorshock.
Further safety instructions for all operations
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel,sanding band, brush or any other acces-
sory. Pinchingorsnaggingcausesrapid stallingofthe
rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncon-
trolledpower tooltobeforced in the direction opposite
of the accessory’s rotation.
Forexample,ifanabrasive wheelissnaggedorpinched
by the workpiece, the edgeofthe wheel thatisentering
into the pinch point can dig into thesurface of thema-
terial causing the wheeltoclimb outorkickout.The
wheelmayeitherjumptoward or away from the oper-
ator, dependingondirectionofthe wheel’smovement
at the pointofpinching. Abrasive wheels may also break
under theseconditions.
- 12 -

Kickback is theresult of power tool misuse and/or in-
correct operating procedures or conditions and canbe
avoidedbytakingproperprecautionsasgiven below.
a) Maintainafirmgriponthepowertool andposi-
tion your body and armtoallowyou to resist
kickbackforces. The operator can control kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Use special carewhen working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snaggingtheac-
cessory. Corners, sharp edgesorbouncing have a
tendency to snag the rotating accessory andcause
lossofcontrol or kickback.
c) Do not attachatoothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequentkickback and loss of control.
d) Alwaysfeedthebit into thematerialinthesame
directionasthecuttingedgeis exiting from the
material(which is the same direction as the
chips are thrown). Feeding the toolinthe wrong
directioncauses the cutting edgeofthe bittoclimb
outof thework and pull the toolinthe directionof
this feed.
e) When using rotary files, cut-offwheels,high-
speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, al-
wayshave the work securely clamped. These
wheels will grab if they becomeslightlycantedin
the groove, andcankickback. Whenacut-off wheel
grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. Whenarotary
file, high-speed cutter or tungsten carbide cutter
grabs, it may jump from the groove and you could
lose control of the tool.
Safety warnings specific for grinding andabrasive
cutting-off operations:
a) Useonlywheeltypesthatare recommended for
your power tool andonlyfor recommended ap-
plications.Forexample: do not grind with the
side of a cut-off wheel.Abrasive cut-off wheelsare
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied
to these wheels maycause themtoshatter.
b) Forthreaded abrasive cones andplugs use only
undamaged wheel mandrels withan unrelieved
shoulder flangethatareofcorrect size and
length. Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility
of breakage.
c) Do not“jam”acut-offwheelorapply excessive
pressure. Do not attempttomake an excessive
depthofcut.Overstressing thewheel increases the
loading andsusceptibility to twisting or snagging of
thewheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback
or wheel breakage.
d) Do not position your handin linewith and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel,atthe point
of operation,ismovingawayfromyour hand, the
possiblekickback may propel thespinning wheel
and the power tool directlyatyou.
e) Whenwheelispinched,snagged or when inter-
ruptingacutforanyreason, switch offthe
power tool and holdthepower toolmotionless
until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
attemptto removethecut-offwheelfromthe
cutwhilethe wheelisin motion otherwise kick-
back may occur. Investigate and take corrective ac-
tiontoeliminate thecauseofwheel pinchingor
snagging.
f) Do not restartthecuttingoperation in the work-
piece. Letthewheel reachfullspeed and care-
fully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind,walk
up or kickbackifthe power tool isrestartedinthe
workpiece.
g) Support panelsoranyoversizedworkpieceto
minimize the riskofwheel pinching and kick-
back. arge workpieces tend to sag under theirown
weight. Supports must be placed under the work-
piece near the lineofcutand near the edgeofthe
workpiece on bothsidesofthewheel.
h) Use extra caution when makinga“pocket cut”
into existingwallsorotherblind areas. The pro-
trudingwheel maycutgasorwater pipes, electrical
wiringorobjects that cancause kickback.
Safety warnings specific for wire brushingopera-
tions:
a) Be awarethatwire bristles arethrown by the
brush even during ordinaryoperation. Do not
overstress the wiresby applying excessive load
- 13 -

to the brush. Thewire bristlescaneasily penetrate
lightclothing and/orskin.
b) Allow brushestorunatoperating speedforat
leastoneminutebefore usingthem. Duringthis
timenooneistostandinfrontorinline withthe
brush. oose bristles or wires willbedischarged
during the run-in time.
c) Directthedischargeofthespinningwirebrush

Machine description
The PROXXON FBS 12/EF preci sion bore grinder is de-
signed for grinding and boring operations too precise and
detailed for standard drills. The precision bore grinder is
ideal for working on steel, non-ferrous metal, glass,
wood, ceramics and more. Its applications include pre-
cision boring, grinding, polish ing, brushing, derusting, en-
graving, enchasing, and disagreggat ing.
The quiet-running permanent-magnet motor provides
powerful torque over the entire speed range. The anti-
lash precision ball bearings of the drill spindle facilitate
optimal true-run turning. The spindle head is turned out
for easy mounting of PROXXON collet chucks (available
as accessory).

compliance with the statements given here!
Clamping and changing the bit
Important!
• Never work without safety glasses.
• Wear a protective mask if large amounts of dust or
harmful dusts accumulate.
• Never press the lock button while the device is oper-
ating.
• Depending on the collet size, bits and cutters may
have a shaft diameter of max. 3.2 mm.
- 14 -

• Insert the tools are far as possible when clamping. En-
sure that the shaft of the tool does not stand out more
than 30 mm. Excessively protruding shafts can bend
easily and contribute to poor concentricity.
• Do not in any case use bits and cutters with an arbour
length of more than 55 mm!
• When using collets, always make sure that the collet
chuck and the utilised tool have the same shaft diam-
eter! The arbour of the tool must be seated firmly and
securely in the collet!
• Do not work with damaged, bent or worn bits and cut-
ters! Make sure the tools are in perfect condition.
Damaged or worn tools can break and cause injuries!
• When storing the bits and cutters, make sure they are
reliably protected from damage!
• A correct and consistent speed achieves a high grind-
ing performance, not excessive contact pressure!
• By tendency: Bits and cutters with smaller diameters
require higher speeds than those with a larger diam-
eter.
• Attention: You absolutely must observe the permissible
maximum speed of the bits and cutters! The tool can
break when the maximum permissible speed is ex-
ceeded. Flying parts can cause damage and severe in-
juries!
1. Slightly turn drill chuck 2(Fig. 2) and simultaneously
press lock button (1) until the latter engages.
2. Open chuck and change bit.
Operating instructions
We recommend PROXXON collet chucks for optimal true
running.
Using the machine
Attention:
Secure the work piece during work! In addition to en-
abling more pleasant and efficient working, it also re-
duces the risk of the workpiece flying about!
Please note: A work piece flying about is a risk for in-
juries! Use a vice or suitable clamping fixture to hold the
work piece!
It is imperative to avoid electric tool recoil!
1. To activate, operate switch 4 (Fig. 1) and set the right
speed for the work on rotational speed adjusting knob
1. Applicable in principle, tools with smaller diameters
must be operated at higher speeds, and tools with
greater diameters at lower speeds in order to achieve
optimal results.
2. When cutting or engraving, hold the machine as if it
were a pen (Fig. 3), being careful not to occlude the
vent slits.
3. For roughing down, grip the machine as if it were a
hammer (Fig. 4).
Maintenance, cleaning and care
Attention:
Disconnect the mains plug prior to every adjustment,
maintenance measure or repair!
Note:
Every device is dirtied by dust when working with wood.
Cleaning is therefore essential. To ensure a long service
life, however, the machine should be cleaned with a soft
cloth or brush after each use.
Mild soap or other suitable cleaning agent may be used
in this context. Solvents or cleaning agents containing al-
cohol (e.g. petrol, cleaning alcohols, etc.) should be
avoided, since these can attack plastic casings.
The apertures required for cooling the motor must always
be kept free of dust and dirt.
