4. OPERATION 4.1. CONTROLS 4.1.1. SWITCHES FUNCTION ON ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANEL SWITCH NAME FUNCTION When turns the switch to the ON position the machine is connected to the power and is ready to POWER SOURCE operate. SWITCH When the machine is not in use. Turn the switch to the OFF position.
4. OPERATION SWITCH NAME FUNCTION Set the switch left for mill head travel OPERATE MODE automatic cycle and the switch rights SELECTION SWITCH for mill head travel single cycle. Press this switch for starting the MOTION MOTOR motion motor. The switch light START SWITCH comes on.
4. OPERATION SWITCH NAME FUNCTION Press this switch to stop the milling MILLING SPINDLE STOP SWITCH spindle. When the operate mode selection MILL HEAD TRAVEL switch are set to right position. The MANUAL START switch must be pressed for start SWITCH automatic return travel.
4. OPERATION 4.2. MACHINE ADJUSTMENT 4.2.1. Adjustment for the thickness of workpiece Adjust the height of locking actuators assembly (A) by rotating adjustment nuts (B), which allows raising or lowering such assembly (C). 4.2.2. Adjustment of position of workpiece Determine the position of workpiece for indent cutting, position horizontal and vertical fixtures (A, B) and fix them by tightening the screws (C).

4. OPERATION 4.2.5. Adjustment of female indent depth "S1" Position the support of mobile chaser to beginning of travel forward, loosen handwheel (A) operate the register (B) to desired depth and lock handwheel. 4.2.6. Adjustment of automatic return travel of mill head: Return travel limit can be positioned at any point to speed up process when working small parts.

4. OPERATION 4.2.7. Adjustment of return speed of mill head assembly: Adjust flow regulator (A) to reach the desired speed. 4.2.8. Adjustment of return speed of copying shaft Adjust flow regulator (A) to reach the desired speed. The return speed of copying shaft into the chaser must be kept adequately slow.
4. OPERATION 4.2.10. Adjustment of mill head assembly speed Change gear ratio of motor (A) shifting the belt (B) on pulleys (C, D). 4.3. WORKING CYCLE Locking workpiece takes place with a 4 mm travel of the piston. Such small gap prevents operator's fingers to get caught between pusher and workpiece inadvertently.

4. OPERATION 4.3.1. Simultaneous work of male-female elements 1. Workpieces to be cut with male indents between vertical bed (A) and pushers (B) striking them on fixed chaser (C). Lock pushers by means of manual valves (D). 2. Insert workpieces to be cut with female indents between horizontal and pushers until they strike on workpieces previously locked on the vertical bed.
5. MAINTENANCE This machine is designed and manufactured for easy operation and maintenance. Design technical solutions, materials used, protective coatings, were planned to reduce maintenance requirements. Nevertheless we recommend performing a set of tasks with the aim to grant machine safety, reliability and efficiency in the long run. 5.1.
