1. Loosen the coupling ring (1) with the chuck key
(2) and pull the blade (3) out to the front.
2. Push the new blade into the slot
3. Tighten up the coupling ring again.
Please ensure that the blade has been securely
tightened up. This is essential for safe and proper
work. This will benefit both the work piece and the
tool and will considerably reduce wear. In addition,
the results of the work will be considerably better.
Blunt blades should be replaced in good time.
The blades can be resharpened with sharpening
stone No. 28 578 (not part of the scope of supply).
Working with the carver
WARNING!
Always work moving away from the body and never
hold your fingers or hand (Fig. 3) in the direction of
cutting. You could hurt yourself if you slipped. Work
as shown in Fig. 4!
WARNING!
Do not switch on the unit when it is under load (axial
pressure). Do not work without protective glasses.
1. Firmly secure the work piece.
2. Turn on the unit at the switch 1 (Fig. 1).
3. Hold the unit such that the ventilation slots 5
(Fig. 1) are not covered.
4. Guide the unit with light hand pressure (Fig. 4)
and avoid strong pressure. You can achieve
cleaner work results if you let the unit cut
through the material by itself without much
pressure.
Immediately switch off the machine and allow
it to cool down if it has overheated.

Note:
Trace or draw the design motif before starting the
work on the work piece and cut it out roughly.
You can find technical books and templates at your
bookstore. You will also find usual information about
materials and working techniques in our "Manual

Maintenance, cleaning and care
Attention:
Disconnect the mains plug prior to every adjust-
ment, 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 alcohol (e.g. petrol, cleaning alcohols,
etc.) should be avoided, since these can attack plas-
tic casings.
The apertures required for cooling the motor must
always be kept free of dust and dirt.

Please note in general:
Proxxon bits and cutters have been designed to
work with our machines, which makes them optimal
for their use.
We will not assume any liability whatsoever for the
safe and proper function of our devices when using
