Explanation of operating and control elements MINIPRESS P WARNING Serious cut injuries. Serious injuries are possible from crushing or shearing. Failure to heed this warning may result in personal injury. ➢ Always disconnect the assembly machine from the power supply and the pressurised air system before all cleaning and maintenance work.
Page 14
Start-up MINIPRESS P Assembly machine space requirement ~ 47 kg ➢ Space requirement with EASYSTICK, see chapter "Additional information" 250 kg Unpacking and assembly ➢ Open box. ➢ Use two people to lift the assembly machine onto the table.
Page 15
Start-up MINIPRESS P ➢ Secure the assembly machine to the workbench [51] with screws [50]. ➢ Assembly of the package [23] MZE.1300 according to the enclosed installation instructions BA-119 ➢ Place the basic ruler [25] in the middle. ➢ The EASYSTICK can also be mounted.
Page 16
Start-up MINIPRESS P ➢ Loosen the clamping screw until the counter plate protrudes 10 mm. ➢ Attach the swivel stop [24] to the ruler at an angle and stand upright. ➢ Tighten the clamping screw. NOTE ■ The assembly machine must not be operated without the work table [5].
Page 17
Start-up MINIPRESS P Connecting the pressurised air system NOTE ■ During the following procedure, the drill unit can move. ■ Only oil-free pressurised air may be used. ■ A quick-release coupling must be inserted max. 3 m from the machine in the com- pressed air supply line.
Page 18
Start-up MINIPRESS P NOTE ■ Ensure that the average air velocity for the extraction system is at least 20 m/sec. ■ The negative pressure should be 250 - 300 mbar. ■ Volume flow 570 m³/h. Earthing the extraction system ➢ Connect the spiral wire of the suction hose to the assembly machine.

Setup MINIPRESS P Setup WARNING Serious cut injuries. Serious injuries are possible from crushing or shearing. Failure to heed this warning may result in personal injury. ➢ Only one person at a time is permitted to operate the assembly machine.
Page 21
Setup MINIPRESS P Set cam brake The cam brake slows down the cam speed just before the drill bits enter the wood. This extends the life of the drill bits and ensures tear-free drilling. The cam brake is adjusted by turning the cam brake restrictor [30] on the cam cylinder.
Page 22
Setup MINIPRESS P ➢ Remove drilling head fixing pins [8]. ➢ At the same time, move the lever [9] to the "Group drilling" symbol. ➢ Refit drilling head fixing pins [8]. Set drilling depth All adjustment work is based on a drill bit length of 57 mm.

Setup MINIPRESS P Fit drill bit WARNING Serious cut injuries. Serious injuries are possible from crushing or shearing. Failure to heed this warning may result in personal injury. ➢ Only one person at a time is permitted to operate the assembly machine.
Page 24
Setup MINIPRESS P Fixed drilling depth 13 mm One option to maintain a constant drilling depth is to install the drilling depth stop [37]. When the drilling depth stop [37] is installed, the drilling depth is always 13 mm regard- less of the thickness of the workpiece.
Page 25
Setup MINIPRESS P NOTE ■ A drill bit with a length of 57 mm must be inserted. ➢ Set the main switch [27] to the “0” position. ➢ Press the feed switch [28] lightly (1 mm deep). The drill unit then moves down slowly.
Page 26
Setup MINIPRESS P NOTE ■ One turn results in 1.5 mm of adjust- ment. The drill bit cutting edge is located under the top edge of the workpiece. ➢ Release feed switch [28]. ➢ Turn the knurled nut [20] clockwise.
Page 27
Setup MINIPRESS P Fit insertion ram ➢ Fit insertion ram [2] onto the two screws [57] on the swing arm [58]. ➢ Tighten the screws [57] so that the insertion ram is secure. ➢ If necessary, the insertion ram [2] can be aligned perpendicular to the workpiece [10].
Page 28
Setup MINIPRESS P ➢ Swivel the insertion ram [2] downwards with the insertion ram swivel lever [17]. ➢ The insertion ram [2] can be finely adjusted so that the hinge fits exactly over the boss drilling. ➢ Loosen the screw [57] by one turn.

Setup Setup MINIPRESS P 16 mm adjustment ➢ If the bottom edge of the door should be flush with the bottom edge of the cabinet, only the basic ruler [25] needs to be re-positioned. Repositioning the ruler: ➢ Loosen the clamping lever [23].
Page 32
Setup MINIPRESS P If the bottom edge of the door should be shorter or longer than the bottom edge of the cabinet, the stops [24] must be set according to the measured difference. In addition, the basic ruler [25] must also be re-positioned.
Page 33
Setup Setup MINIPRESS P Distance template ➢ Place distance template [40] on the swivel stop that has already been set [24] and set an additional swivel stop. This results in a 6 hole group with a 32 mm hole spacing.
Page 34
Drilling and insertion MINIPRESS P WARNING Drill bits can cause serious injury. ➢ Only one person at a time is permitted to operate the assembly machine. ➢ All items except for the workpiece must be removed from the work area [A] of the assembly machine.
Page 35
Drilling and insertion MINIPRESS P ➢ Check the work table [5] for soiling and remove dirt as necessary. ➢ Push the workpiece [10] against the swivel stop [24] and basic ruler [25]. NOTE Hold down clamp ■ We recommend using the hold down clamps [12] to ensure safe and precise processing of the workpiece.
Page 36
Drilling and insertion MINIPRESS P ➢ Set the main switch [27] to "1". NOTE ■ The extraction system must always be switched on in order to remove wood chips and dust. ➢ Switch on the extraction system. Drilling WARNING Serious cut injuries.
