Initial Operation - Metabo PFM 17 Manual Original

en ENGLISH
Never use an incomplete tool or one on which an
unauthorised modification has been made.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
- arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials, such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream towards yourself or nearby
persons or towards dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or an air purifier,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow,
beat or brush protective gear.

6. Initial Operation

Before commissioning, check that the rated
mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated
on the type plate match your power supply.
Always install an RCD with a maximum trip
current of 30 mA upstream.
6.1 Attach bow handle (1)
Only with bow handle (1) attached! Attach the
bow handle as shown (see page 2, Fig. A).
- Fit locking discs (2) to the left and right of the bow
handle (1).
- Move the bow handle (1) with the locking discs (2)
from the front to the gear housing.
- Insert the thumb screws (3) to the left and right of
the bow handle (1) and turn gently.
- Adjust the bow handle (1) to the required angle.
- Firmly tighten the thumb screws (3) to the left and
right manually.
7. Setting
Pull the plug out of the socket before making
any adjustments, changing tools, carrying out
maintenance or cleaning.
Indexable inserts, holders for indexable
inserts, the workpiece and chips can be hot
after work. Wear protective gloves.
Danger of crushing! Wear protective gloves.
7.1 Adjust the cutting height
Determining the setting value:
Note: always produce large seam heights in several
milling operations (at least 3). Hard materials
require more milling operations. This has the
following advantages: a higher indexable insert
service life, work results with a higher surface
quality, more pleasant working conditions.
Do not exceed the stated "maximum cutting
height (h ; see Technical data) per milling
max
operation".
It is recommended that very little material is
removed during the last milling operation to ensure
an optimum surface quality.
Setting the milling heights (see page 2 fig. B):
1. Pull the settings ring (6) upwards and set the
desired cutting height by turning in clockwise
direction (+) or in anti-clockwise direction (-).
The scale (5) is used for rough orientation during
the setting process
