Proceed as follows:
Note!
For this purpose, it is necessary to remove the cutter
shield (fig. 1, item 7). In this case, loosen the knurled
screw, 8, (fig. 1) and lift off the shield. When re-
mounting the shield, ensure that the hexagonal tip on
the shield engages correctly with the hexagonal socket
of the milling cutter carriage.
1. Completely remove the knurled screw and the Allen
screw, 1 and 2, (fig. 6), including the corresponding
washers and sleeves.
2. Roughly estimate the distance from the milling
cutter. The fence can then be fixed in the position
shown as item 3 by inserting the screws in the
appropriate threaded holes in the milling table. Do
not forget the sleeves and washers. Do not
immediately tighten the knurled screw.
3. The fine setting can now be carried out as
described under "Adjusting the fence" above.
Angle stop (fig. 1, item 13)
This can be fitted in the groove provided and slid to the
desired position. To adjust, loosen the knurled nut and
rotate the plastic part
Milling
Fig. 7 shows some applications for the use with our
MICRO-shaper.
Note!
Wear ear defenders!
Danger of injury:
Always work with the the milling cutter shield!
If you have to dismount the cutter protection for an
application like shown in Fig. 7 c, be extremely careful!
Danger of injury!
Note!
For use in schools (children over 14 years age) the
knurled screw of the milling cutter shield must be
replaced by a screw requiring a tool and the cutter
shield must be set at 5 mm (0,2 inch).
The cutter shield must be set so that it covers the cutter
immediately above the work piece. Exercise particular care
when milling workpieces over 5 mm (0,2 inch) thickness.
Keep your fingers clear of the rotating cutter. The
workpiece may only be so long and wide as can be
properly supported and fed on the milling table. The
cutting depth should never exceed 0.04 inch. For
milling, the work piece is slid along the fence. It must be
ensured that the cutting depth and feed rate are not
excessive! Cutting too deeply and too high a feed rate
lead to poor results and load the mechanism
unnecessarily. It is preferable to make a number of
milling passes with small adjustments of the fence and/
or the cutter height.
Note!
It is recommended that the dust extraction should
always be used. A rubber extractor connection is
located on the rear of the machine. Vacuum cleaner can
be readily connected here.
Care and maintenance
Note!
Defective parts should be changed by a qualified
technician.
Note!
Before carrying out repairs, pull the electrical plug. The
shaper requires little maintenance. To prolong its life,
you should clean the machine after each use with
compressed air or a soft cloth. Always use the dust
extractor.
Maintenance
Important
Pull out the mains plug prior to commencing all
maintenance and repair work.
Warning!
Turn switch OFF and always remove plug from power
source before making any adjustments or repairs.
If any part is missing or damaged, do not plug the tool in
until the missing or damaged part is replaced, and
assembly is complete. To avoid electrical shock, use
only identical replacement parts when servicing the tool.
Warning!
To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use gasoline,
naphtha, acetone, lacquer thinner, or similar highly
volatile solvents to clean the MICRO Shaper.
Do not allow brake fluids, gasoline, or penetrating oils to
come in contact with the plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage or destroy plastics!
All electrical or mechanical repairs should be done only
by qualified service technicians.
When servicing use only PROXXON replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this
tool may create a hazard unless repair is done by a
qualified service technician.
Repair service is available at your PROXXON service
center
(You find the address at address at the back of this
manual).
