Operation - Scheppach HF50 Translation Of Original Instruction Manual

2. The movable stop (12) must be adjusted to adapt
to the thinner material. This serves to support the
material and ensures a more accurate cut. To do
this, loosen the right star grip nut M6 (b), move
the movable stop (12) forward and clamp it tight.
10.3 Setting the pressure bars (Fig. 23)
The front pressure bar (6) and the top pressure bar (2)
are used to hold the workpiece in place and prevent
kick-back.
1. Drive milling cutter to the lowest position.
2. Insert the workpiece to be machined and press
the front pressure bar (6) and the top pressure bar
(2) onto the workpiece with light pressure.
3. Remove workpiece.
4. Setting the milling cutter to the desired height (see
section: 10.5).
10.4 Setting the transverse cutting gauge (10)
(Fig. 24)
The transverse cutting gauge (10) slides horizontally
along the worktable (3) and is used to make edging and
mitre cuts.
1. To set the transverse cutting gauge (10) to the
desired angle, loosen the star grip nut (10a) and
turn it to the desired angle.
2. Tighten the star grip nut (10a) again.
3. Always make a test cut on a piece of waste mate-
rial to ensure that the settings are correct.
10.5 Setting the working depth (Fig. 25)
The working depth or spindle height is set by setting
the height of the milling tools.
1. To adjust or decrease the spindle height, turn the
crank wheel (5).
2. Secure the setting by tightening the clamping
screw (29).
10.6 Use of the table inlay (27)
The table inlays (27) must be used to reduce the dis-
tance between the table and the spindle to a minimum.
Before switching on the machine, you must systemat-
ically check that the supplied table inlays (27) are cor-
rectly installed.
Check that you have selected the appropriate table in-
lays (27) for the cutting tool in question and its installa-
tion height in order to reduce the risk of the workpiece
tilting when passing the hole.
The table inlays (27) must surround the cutter as
closely as possible.
10.7 Setting the speed (Fig. 21)
The speed control (9) of the machine has 6 levels.
1. Determine the optimum speed by making a test
cut in a piece of waste material.
m Attention: Using the correct speed will increase
the service life of the cutter. It also influences the ma-
chined surface on the workpiece.
Step
Note:
The values in the speed table (Fig. 27) are only guide-
lines. These can vary depending on the tool and type
of wood.
10.8 Switching on/off (Fig. 26)
Make sure that all keys and adjusting tools are removed
from the milling table. Also make sure that the settings
are complete and all safety covers are mounted.
1. Set the on/off switch (8) to the I position to switch
the machine on.
2. Set the on/off switch (8) to the 0 position to switch
the machine off.
Caution: The product starts running immediately at
the set speed.
3. The machine is equipped with an overload switch
(7) to protect the motor. In the event of an over-
load, the machine stops automatically. After a
while, the overload switch (7) can be reset.

11. Operation

• Insert an appropriate cutter into the clamping chuck
and secure this by tightening the nut of the clamp-
ing chuck.
• Adjust speed, cutting depth, stop alignment and
transverse cutting gauge.
• Make sure that you set the stop bar correctly so that
it supports the uncut material. Adjust the stop bar
to support the cut material while compensating for
the removed material.
